Often, when people start their new weight loss program, they have a lot of drive to stick with it. But after a while, people give up because their dream seems too far away. Why can some people maintain their weight after losing it? It is easy to believe there is a secret formula at work. What is the secret to this?
Draw up detailed goals to make losing weight easier. Can you visualize a certain number that you would like to see on the scale? Is there a certain clothing size you want to wear, or do you want your current wardrobe to fit you comfortably once again? Are you looking to increase your endurance our are looking to improve your physical appearance?
Make sure to log your progress on a weekly basis. Be sure to weigh yourself weekly and create a journal. Within the journal, create a food log to keep track of all the food you eat each day. Writing down what you are eating will help you remember to make healthier choices.
If you let yourself get hungry you could make bad eating choices. You will have trouble controlling your eating choices if you allow yourself to become too hungry. Decide what you are going to eat ahead of time, and take snacks with you to eat when temptation strikes. If you are able, take a packed lunch. You will cut back on costs and lessen the chance you will make a bad decision when it comes to what you are going to eat.
The most effective way to lose weight is to combine a healthy diet with increased physical activity. While it is not necessary to exercise on a daily basis, you should do so several times per week. Make sure to avoid letting your workout routine get stale by constantly mixing things up and adding new exercises. For instance, if dancing is your thing, how about signing up for a dance class?
Make sure your home, work-space, and any other area you frequent is free from unhealthy snack items. It may seem cruel, but the reality is that if it isn’t there, you won’t be tempted to eat it. Stock your home or office fridge with many different healthy items. Keep a lot of healthy snacks on hand, such as fruit, nuts and vegetables, so that you will have something healthy to snack on when you are hungry.
Deciding to lose weight is your own personal challenge. That doesn’t mean, however, that you can’t rely on your friends and family to help make your weight loss journey easier. You will experience times that will make you feel exhausted or unmotivated. Do not give in to the allure of the snack cake. Call on your friends for some motivation and inspiration when you are feeling insecure and need some help staying on track.
