Sometimes it seems like weight loss is beyond what we think we can do. The motivation and dedication is always there to begin with, but unfortunately it seems to wane after a little while. What things make it easy for some people to lose weight and keep it off? What do they know about weight loss that you don’t?
Before you begin your weight loss journey, you need to set out some clear goals. Why do you want to lose weight, what do you hope to accomplish? Is being a smaller size important to you? Is there a particular weight goal that you have in mind? Would you just like to build towards a healthier body?
Keep tabs on exactly how much weight you lose every week. You should weigh yourself once a week, and keep track of your food intake every day. Making a note of what you consume gives you accountability, which will often lead to better food choices.
Usually, poor food decisions are due to extreme hunger. Do not wait until you are extremely hungry to eat. Schedule your meals and have snacks on hand. Bring a healthy meal from home instead of going out for lunch. Doing this can help you save both money and calories! You’re much more likely to break your diet if you’ve gone a long time without eating. Avoid allowing yourself to become too hungry before you eat. Plan your meals ahead of time and have healthy snacks available at all times. Instead of eating out, take your lunch with you. This will help you closely monitor your calorie intake and save you money as well.
Losing weight starts with both healthy eating and frequent exercise. Some people have a harder time incorporating an exercise routine into their lives than a healthy eating plan. There are lots of ways to make exercise easy and fun. Just find some workout videos or physical activities you enjoy or get together with a workout buddy! Combine the two if you find it to be necessary. Go to a fitness class or on a walk together.
You should keep junk food out of the house so you’re not tempted to eat it. It is impossible to eat junk food if you don’t keep it in your home. You should have your home filled with healthy food instead. Keep healthy snacks on hand – fresh fruit, crunchy celery or carrot sticks, anything that appeals to you and is good for your health. Simply don’t purchase “junk” foods, such as cookies, potato chips, etc., which are easy to overindulge on. If it is very inconvenient to access these kinds of foods, you will be far less likely to eat them.
If you have decided to lose weight, then this is a decision you have made for yourself. If you have support from friends and family, it can be easier to meet your weight loss goals. If you may be tired, discouraged, or lacking in motivation at times, have a friend join you for a healthy snack. When temptation and frustration strike do not give up. Call on your support group to help you through it so you can stay on track.
