The Beginners Guide to Losing Weight
If you are ready to take charge of your body...So you've decided that you're going to do it - you're sick and tired of being sick and tired. You are once and for all, hell bent on losing weight.Before we continue, I first must warn you of a very grim fact: Millions have tried before you and most of them have failed miserably at reaching their weight loss and diet goals. That is why I've put together a little beginner's guide to help make sure that you are one of the few that actually ends up being successful at reaching your optimum healthy weight.
Many people just go and hop on a diet or weight loss program without knowing exactly where they are from the start. How much do you actually weigh? What are you physical dimensions? Not knowing this information can be a barrier, because along the way there WILL be numerous times when you will be tempted to simply quit altogether. Without knowing where you started, you won't be able to accurately gauge your progress. Not being able too see that progress puts you at an extremely high risk of quitting down the road when the going gets tough. (When you are most likely to begin to succeed.) This is one of the most often overlooked steps in the entire process of losing weight. Most people will passively quote some random amount of weight that they "hope" to lose. For example: "I need to lose 30 lbs." "I'm trying to get back down to a size X" "If I can just fit back into Y, I'll be fine" That is the exact WRONG way to go about your weight loss. All above the above are hopes. Wishes. Desires. And none are specific enough to lead a thinner body. What you need are detailed, definite goals that are written and time bound (e.g. "over the next 3 months") to hold yourself accountable to doing what you said you were going to do by the time you said you were going to do it. In order for this to work, there needs to be a concrete method to your weight loss goals. To this end, you need to chose a weight loss plan that will lead you step-by-step through what to eat (and what not to eat), how and when to exercise, and every other imaginable aspect of losing weight. The reason for this is that goals have a much better chance of becoming reality when they are being attained as a result of a thoughtful plan or system of action. Most flunkies know how to study... Most broke people know how wealth is generated... Most overweight people how to lose weight... However, what separates all of these very knowledgeable, yet unsuccessful people from the results they desire is action. Don't let that be your fate.
Once you have written down specific goals and chosen a plan of action, don't delay in getting right on track to weight loss. The cheesecake, burgers, chocolate, and pastries aren't going anywhere. You can snack on them moderately once you've achieved your goals. Don't get caught into the trap of holding off having Your Best Body any longer. The sooner you start, the sooner you'll be done. Nearly everyone who has tried to lose weight has had some level of success at one time or another. For those who have not been able to sustain desirable results, being knocked out by the emotional roller coaster is the most likely cause. Losing weight is very simple, but not easy. If it were a "piece of cake," there wouldn't be so many people trying to get it right. The #1 skill that you will need to develop in order to make it through is surviving the roller coaster of emotions. One day you'll feel as if you're getting great results. A week later, you may actually feel that you are moving backwards. Either way, just know that as long as you consistently follow the weight loss principles, you will ALWAYS move forward, even if it does not feel like it. So many times people come to a screeching halt in their efforts to lose weight and diet because they get discouraged a portion of the way through. OR after they reach a certain benchmark, they allow themselves to be satisfied and quit the program even though their goal has not been reached. DON'T DO IT. There was a specific reason that you set your initial goal. Do not sell yourself short by settling for anything less. Stick it out until the very end, and your sense of accomplishment will be irreplaceable. This is the last and final barrier to ultimate success in your efforts to lose weight. Make sure not to allow yourself to relapse while you are in maintenance mode. I recommend sticking to the same general principles that helped you lose the weightand then occasionally indulging in some of the foods that you love. This balance is the best way to keep the body that you've worked for and not feel over-restricted. Make this the first and last time that you ever have to go through a weight loss program. Remember that if you can just get it right one good time, you can literally maintain it forever with little effort. Your Lifestyle and Fitness Coach, Lawrence Cole, YourbestbodyNOW.com.
