10 Ways to Stay Motivated for Weight Loss: Part
Welcome back to part 2. We talked about 5 great factors in weight loss yesterday. Let’s finish our list:
6. Make the time for exercise. No excuses. Make the time for you! It’s important. Long term weight loss won’t happen on diet alone.
7. Find a quiet moment and evaluate what motivates you; personal satisfaction, looking good for a wedding, diagnosis of diabetes or high blood pressure, or giving yourself a goal/prize? Write down and post your goals where you will see them.
8.* Don’t diet, think life change. Clean eating is about creating new habits, not some crazy claim of dropping 20 lbs in 2 weeks. That’s water weight (if you loose that) not permanent, healthy change.
9. Create a network for weight loss. Many people are successful with Weight Watchers or working out at a gym because of the ‘buddy system’ of support that these programs put into place.
10. To begin your kickoff for change from processed fast foods, try a pre-packaged food program (such as Katie B- my fellow blogger did). It can add structure to your choices (if you can afford it), or follow my blog (or Katie’s) for food management ideas.
Make 1 change per week that you can follow. Many small changes can equal RESULTS!
