Tips to Weight Loss

So you have decided you are going to lose that excess weight…you have done your research and decided on your healthy eating plan.

A few words of advice to help you along: Do not expect things to happen overnight. You are going to have to make changes to your diet plan and lifestyle but if those changes are too drastic it may cause you to lose heart and give up and we do not want that to happen. Be positive in your thoughts. If you keep telling yourself that you cannot do this or that these exercises are too hard…you will fail! Your life may have been full of negative thoughts and insecurities before but that is all over now! The moment you set foot on the road to healthy living and permanent weight loss then you leave those thoughts behind you. You can do this! Tell yourself every day. If  you want to jog but cannot then walk at a fast pace…and know that 30 minutes of jogging will only burn 20 more calories than walking fast for the same amount of time…nice to know eh? If you can’t manage 30 sit ups then do 10 and take a rest before continuing. Do what you can and work at gradually increasing it…this will give you far better results than convincing yourself that you cannot do it and then giving up. Positive support is a big help. Surround yourself with family and friends who support and encourage your efforts. If this isn’t possible then join a weight loss club or support forum. This will help you through the low times that every one experiences from time to time…it is not only you!  Do not be discouraged and do not give up. You can do this. Set your mind to what you want to achieve and focus on that…believe in yourself…and enjoy the journey!
