Your Weight! Your Health! Your Skin!

What does it really take for you to make a decision to lose weight and to actually follow through?

Making the decision to lose weight is more than a wish, it is a commitment that will take time to accomplish. It is a process, and it definitely will not happen overnight, the same way you did not gain weight overnight. Having said that, what will it take for you to actually lose weight?

The first thing that will jolt you to make the decision to lose weight is to realize that you need to. It might be for health reasons, or it might be because you are tired of having the body you have, but for whatever reason it is that you have chosen to lose weight, the first crucial step is to be aware of how obese or overweight you are. Facing that reality for yourself will force you to confront just how bad a state you really are in, and this step will move you out of that denial state. So what are you waiting for, get your Body Mass Index measured and come to terms of how overweight you really are.

Once you know where you are and you have made a decision about where you want to be, you need to develop a plan of how you will achieve this goal. The plan that you put into action must be as specific as you possibly can make it, put a value to the amount of pounds you want to lose and put a time frame to your goal. You can even go as far as writing down how you think you would feel once you reach that goal. If you have a lot of weight to lose, the value you have decided might be overwhelming for you, but remamber, to eat an elephant it has to be one bite at a time.

It is important that the plan you put in place is broken down to weekly and daily activities that you can do, that will take you closer to your goal. For instance, it is more conceivable for you to say ‘I must do an hour of 3 x 20 minute cardio exercises everyday’ than it is to say ‘I must devote 10 hours of gym this week’. Break the tasks at hand into little manageable chunks of work and allocate time units to it. This way, it will be easier to see if you are falling behind or adhering to your plan.

A final crucial point that is pivotal to your success in your weight loss endeavors is that you need to be accountable. The best way to do this is to have a partner, who is also committed to losing weight like you, someone who can cheer you on when your motivation is low and someone who will be going through the same struggle that you will be going through. It can be a friend, colleague or a family member, but it must be someone who can make this committment with you. Once you find that person, decide what the consequences you will have to face if you do not meet a certain goal and actually stick to it.

Losing weight is easier when there is a specific plan in place, that you have committed to and know the consequences of what will happen if the plan is not adhered to. Try not to go at this alone, it helps to have the support of people who care about you.

Hi,

When it comes to weight loss, for most people it is easier said than done. You need to be really clear about what you want to accomplish, because without clear goals about where you want to go, or how you want your body to be, it is all a wish.

Eating healthy and being at your optimal body weight is an ongoing thing. It is not something that you can do for 3 months and stop doing, and think you will have the body of your dreams. It is something we all have to consistently work at, to get the results we desire.

Having struggled with my weight for a long time, I know that it is hard sometimes to keep focused and to keep doing what I need to do to ensure I am still on the right path to accomplish my weight loss goals. So, lets look at what habits will keep you on the track of winning your weight loss battle.

1. Visualize how your body is going to be once you reach the weight you want. More importantly, think about how good it is going to feel once you are able to fit into those awesome pair of jeans that you have been dreaming about! If the picture in your mind is very vivid, and the emotions that you have at visualizing that picture are real, that will be a very compelling reason for you to keep trying.

2. Eat  just enough food to give adequate energy to your body for optimal function. Overweight people ended up being being overweight probably because of consuming more food than they needed for body function. The lesson here is to eat in moderation, and to actually stop eating when one gets full. Do not wait until your stomach wants to explode. Start by cutting down the calories that you consume a day . . .

3. Get up and start moving. Start with small things like using the stairs instead of the lift, parking away from the mall entrance, fetching stuff for yourself instead of getting your child or little sister to get it for you. The lesson here is that you need to start exercising to get you to start burning those calories.

4. Choose healthier food options. When you are having a pizza or a burger with fries for lunch, look around at what the people who seem to have their weight under control are eating. Chances are they are eating food that have great calories for great energy that will fuel their bodies properly. Stop eating junk

5. Everything worth having requires consistent effort out of all of us. It is not easy, but if you really want it, you need to make sacrifices to ensure you get it. If having the perfect body was easy, we would all be looking great with a Body Mass Index we could all be proud of. Giving up is not an option – if you are sure of where you want to go.
