Don’t Wait to Lose Weight! I’ll Prove It to You
Many people are excited when first starting out on a weight loss routine. However, many become discouraged when they don’t see results as soon as they had expected. How is it that certain people can lose the weight and keep it off? They must know some type of magic trick that allows them to do this! What is that secret?
It is important to figure out your goals from the beginning to help you lose weight. Do you hope to shed those last 10 pounds that have been bugging you, or are you planning on a dramatic, lifestyle changing weight loss? Figure out exactly why you want to shed the pounds. Is it because you want more energy, or because you have a specific goal in mind, like dropping a few dress sizes?
Stay on top of all of your progress. Make sure you check your weight only once a week. Doing so too often will make you anxious. Use a food journal to track all of your meals, snacks, beverages and the calories they contain. Make sure you also list any drinks and snacks. This can sometimes keep you from making bad decisions when choosing what you are going to eat and drink.
Don’t let yourself become extremely hungry. This will lead to very poor choices in foods. Plan your meals in advance to avoid temptation, and always make sure you have healthy snacks ready. Bringing your own lunch from home will help you save money and eat healthier.
A big part of successful weight loss is combining healthy eating with consistent exercise. Exercising requires restructuring of your schedule; a couple of hours three days a week should be suitable for significant weight loss. If working out this often is difficult for you to do, then you must ensure you do exercises that you love. If you like having long conversations with your friends, you can go with them for a walk. Enjoy your workout in nature if you can. Hiking trails and bike paths offer some great outdoor space for working out by walking, biking, inline skating or even skateboarding. If you enjoy dancing you should take a class and learn a new routine.
The simple fact of the matter is that you cannot eat junk food if it is not available. A well stocked pantry full of healthy food is not to be underestimated; it can make a big difference in the success of your weight loss program! You will definitely reduce the amount of junk food you eat by making it less accessible.
Having the support of your family and friends can make a world of difference. Although they can’t lose the weight for you, they can be invaluable in providing much-needed motivation to keep you going forward. Having to answer to someone other than yourself can help keep you from giving up when you are feeling discouraged. Try calling a friend if you are in need of some additional encouragement. Just hearing their voice should be a reminder of how important it is for you to succeed!
