When Losing Weight Seems Difficult [Proven!]
Trying to lose weight can be a monotonous task that never seems to lead anywhere. Even if at first you are motivated and excited about losing weight, pitfalls along the way can leave you feeling discouraged, frustrated and ready to give up on your goals. You may wonder how others meet their goals successfully and manage to keep their weight off. You can find by reading on!
Before you do anything else, you should ask yourself why you want to lose weight, and then set your goals. Is there an event you need to lose weight for? Have you considered how many pounds you wish to shed? Is the reason for your weight loss medical in nature or something else, such as energy or fitness? These are the types of things that you need to really think about.
It’s important to keep track of your progress every week. Have a food diary and keep track of your weight every single week. In the journal, write down the foods you eat each day. Writing down what you are eating will make you more conscious of what you eat.
Allowing yourself to become overly hungry is a huge mistake. If you allow yourself to get too hungry, it is hard to keep self-control. Plan your meals in advance. Bring snacks with you, too. If you can bring your own lunch, do it. By doing this you will end up saving money and eating a healthier overall diet.
Successful weight loss programs need to include both dieting and exercise. Find the workout that you enjoy doing the most, and do it at least 3 times a week. If you are having trouble exercising, try breaking it into smaller blocks or incorporate your exercise into the things you enjoy doing. Do something physical like hiking or dancing the next time you get together with friends. Try taking a formal dancing class if you like dancing. Try searching for new trails to hike on if you like hiking.
It’s stated all the time, yet few follow through. Have a cleaning party – invite your friends over to help you get rid of the junk food in your fridge and pantry by taking it home with them. If unhealthy snacks are not around when you want them, you can avoid them altogether. Replace the junk food with healthy snacks. Remember, if you do not have the choice to eat unhealthy foods then you cannot eat them.
A great support network can go a long way in helping you to stay focused on your weight loss plan. Look to your friends for encouragement, inspiration and moral support. If you feel like giving up, your friends will be there to offer support. Turn to your friends for moral support when you want to open that bag of potato chips! Surely, you would be willing to help them stay motivated, too!
