Your path to successful weight loss may become clouded. It may have been easy to start the process, but it can get discouraging quickly or something else in your life may come up that seems more important. How can you have some of the passion and persistence that others seem to have rub off on you? How do people manage to succeed and maintain their success in weight loss efforts?
The first step in any successful weight loss program is to have a realistic goal in mind. Having a target weight goal will help you keep focused on reaching that goal.
You should try keeping a journal or diary about your weight loss. It’s not hard; simply log your daily food consumption and how much weight you are losing. Once you get used to writing down your food intake, you can begin to analyze your progress. Make adjustments to your diet as needed.
When you are very hungry, you tend to make unhealthy food decisions. Make sure to have healthy foods available to you when you are away from home to avoid this type of problem. It is far better to bring a bagged lunch wherever you are going, than to end up in a fast food restaurant. Packing your own lunch lets you maintain control over the calories you consume and keeps you from having to face the temptations prevalent when dining out. Given that this option generally costs far less than eating out, it may be that you notice the benefits in your wallet as well as on your scale.
The secret to successful, lasting weight loss is a combination of nutritious eating habits coupled with a good exercise program. It is very important to exercise at least three days out of the week. You should plan to do something you enjoy so this does not seem like such a challenge to you. If you like having long conversations with your friends, you can go with them for a walk. Hiking is another great way to lose weight. If you like to dance then go out dancing, but try a new form of dance such as salsa or samba classes.
If you have junk food in the cupboards, it makes it extremely hard to resist it when temptation strikes. This works the other way around, though: keeping your home filled with healthy foods means you will go for them first. Stock your pantry with lots of healthy alternatives to junk food, such as veggies, fruits, and healthy, low-fat snack foods. If you do not have junk food in your cupboards you will be less likely to overinduldge. Once you replace the junk food with healthier options, then you’ll be more likely to make healthy food choices.
When you have people backing you up it will help you stay motivated on your weight loss journey. Have your friends give you support and encouragement. They can help cheer you up. Your buddies will be able to get you moving when you would much rather sit at home on the couch. Wouldn’t you want to do the same for your friends?
