For the past two years I have been
assisting people to achieve their ideal weight and in this time I have
experienced what contributes to a successful weight loss story.
Getting serious It all starts with you and how
serious you are about losing weight. The key to successful weight loss
is partly dependent on your level of commitment. How would you rate
your seriousness on a scale of 1 10 (10 being deadly serious)
No quick fix If you have made the
commitment to get serious about losing weight then you need to make
the commitment to do it safely and effectively. One piece of
invaluable advice my own family doctor passed onto me is that slow and
steady is always the best option. The longer it takes you to lose
weight the less likely you are to put it back on.
Staying motivated Always keep the end
in mind! Write down all of the reasons why you are motivated to lose
weight now. Record these reasons on a piece of card that can be kept
in your wallet or purse. Each morning and before going to bed remind
yourself by reading aloud why you are motivated to lose weight.
Facing challenges Every day you are
likely to face challenges, which can disrupt your focus and get in the
way of your weight loss goals. Write down all of the challenges that
you know have made losing weight hard for you in the past. This will
help you to develop a better strategy this time. Three common
challenges are lack of results, boredom and lack of support from
spouse, family and friends.
Choosing a weight control program I
recommend choosing a diet / weight control program that offers all of
the following for best results: Provides a balanced nutritious program
that is safe and effective Support system and regular progress
follow-up Teaches you better eating habits Teaches you how to maintain
your weight once you have reached your goal weight For a free weight
