.........you know, I think I will take the summer off from my weight loss/maintaining effort.......what? Have you heard this? Have you SAID this...???
Habits must be changed, physical activity must be incorporated and a general healthier approach to living must be embraced. For many individuals, the promise of a thinner self is the inspiration to maintain a weight loss regimen.
Losing weight can have a significant effect on your health and also on your self-esteem.
Feeling good about your physical appearance benefits your self-esteem in many ways. For many people, not being proud of their body, prevents them from attaining what they want in life. It is exciting to think of the many areas in your life that will change, when you lose the weight.
Focus on two or three goals at a time. Great, effective goals are —
•Specific
•Realistic
•Forgiving (less than perfect)
For example, "Exercise More" is not a specific goal. But if you say, "I will walk 15 minutes, 3 days a week for the first week," you are setting a specific and realistic goal for the first week.
Remember, small changes every day can lead to big results in the long run. Also remember that realistic goals are achievable goals. By achieving your short-term goals day-by-day, you'll feel good about your progress and be motivated to continue. Setting unrealistic goals, such as losing 20 pounds in 2 weeks, can leave you feeling defeated and frustrated.
Being realistic also means expecting occasional setbacks. Setbacks happen when you get away from your plan for whatever reason – maybe the holidays, longer work hours, or another life change. When setbacks happen, get back on track as quickly as possible. Also take some time to think about what you would do differently if a similar situation happens, to prevent setbacks.
Keep in mind everyone is different – what works for someone else might not be right for you. Just because your neighbor lost weight by taking up running, doesn't mean running is the best option for you. Try a variety of activities – walking, swimming, tennis, or group exercise classes to see what you enjoy most and can fit into your life. These activities will be easier to stick with over the long term.
Weight loss is hard work, but the end result is well worth it! Just DON'T take the summer~OR~ anytime off from the true self you want to be!!!!!
Here is the recipe for you to try..
