Weight Loss:
3 Strategies for Success
You probably know of hundreds of different fad diets, weight-loss programs
and outright scams promise quick and easy weight loss.
But the foundation of every
successful weight-loss program still remains a healthy, low-calorie diet
combined with exercise. You must make permanent changes in your lifestyle and
health habits to lose significant weight and keep it off.
How do you make those permanent changes? Here are three strategies to start with:
1. Make a commitment
Permanent weight loss takes time and effort. It requires focus and a
lifelong commitment. Make sure that you're ready to make permanent changes and
that you do so for the right reasons. If
you feel you are not ready, then commit to getting ready and get help to deal
with the obstacles that are keeping you from making changes.
As you're planning new weight-related lifestyle changes, try to resolve any
other problems in your life. It takes a lot of mental and physical energy to
change your habits. So make sure you aren't distracted by other major life
issues, such as emotional, marital or financial problems. Timing is the key to
success. Ask yourself if you're ready to take on the challenges of serious
weight loss.
2. Get emotional support
We all know that you have to take responsibility for your own behavior. Many over eaters have a difficult time with this concept. But taking responsibility doesn't mean that
you have to do everything alone. Seek support when needed from your partner,
family and friends or therapist.
Ideally, find people who will listen to your concerns and feelings, spend
time exercising with you, and share the priority you've placed on developing a
healthier lifestyle. Pick people who you know want only the best for you and
who will encourage you. If you have
negative people in your life or people who sabotage your efforts, don't turn to
them for support.
3. Set a realistic goal
Make your goals "process goals," such as exercising regularly,
rather than "outcome goals," such as losing 50 pounds. Changing your
process - your habits - is the key to weight loss. Make sure that your process
goals are realistic, specific and measurable, for example, you'll walk for 30
minutes a day, five days a week.
Stay away
from goals that include numbers (I will lose 60 pounds for my daughters
wedding), these goals can sabotage any efforts you make by adding more stress to your life which
will make you reach for food more.
Finally, don't give up. If your plan
is not working, then "tweak" it instead of abandoning it. Do not blame yourself
for being a failure. If your plan
doesn't work, think about what would work instead of what doesn't work. Don't focus on the problem, focus on the
solutions and build your plan around that. Ask yourself what has worked in the
past and make that a stepping stone for yourself.
Remember change takes time; it is not going
to happen in a week. Be patient with
yourself. Become conscious of the
negative self talk, stop it and replace it with nurturing self talk........you
will become a winner at losing!
If you find that you
cannot stop your
Negative self talk..............
