THERE are many things that affect the success of your weight reduction project. Not just reduce the size of the meal. Diet nor the methods of business stuff. But, most importantly, are you really ready? By Timothy G. Lohman, PhD., Professor of physiology at the University of Arizona, United States, should you find yourself readiness levels before weight loss. Thus, you will be aware of personal barriers faced.
Study on 112 overweight women identified barriers to lifestyle and behavior contribute to prevent someone who is fairly successful weight loss. Maybe it was a good start, as reason was tired and overweight are highly motivated to slim down. But, without realizing it, there are several other factors that it 'opposes' good intentions. For example, weight reduction targets are not realistic, diet history which is always half-half, less support from the surrounding environment, or the high demands of busy, so it could not exercise regularly. This is what is not ready.
Step 1
Create a realistic goal
The closer the weight figures you're going to figure your current weight, the more realistic opportunity to achieve it. Studies show that most of us have seen a 10% decrease from the previous weight is still pretty reasonable thing to do. If the number is bigger than that, your target will feel heavy and make the little hearts. Once you have successfully lost 10%, you will be encouraged to design a new goal to drop more weight. Use a frame of mind is practical and logical to design numbers you want, which fell 1-1.5 kg / week.
Step 2
Forget the programs 'magic bullet'
Fixated on drugs 'miracle' or a perfect idea about how to lose weight will be easier to lead you on yo-yo diet syndrome kegagaian or. This kind of diet will tempt you to think that 'if I try one more time' or 'if I were more disciplined', hope you to slim down to be realized. As long as your mind is still tempted by diet methods are not clear, you will forget that you need is to exercise the skills and strategies to control diet, not a 'miracle'.
Step 3
'Lucky' never wrong ...
Rather than reflect on past failures, use the failure as a lesson. Think of specific behaviors that derail your diet ever before to help you avoid repeating the same thing at the next weight loss plan. Try to make two lists: one of the activities that make you 'stuck', contains a longer list of possible activities to do. List of 'reasonable' may consist of: 'wake up 15 minutes earlier to eat a good breakfast, so I do not have to starve at 10 later'. Or 'invite a friend for a little walk after lunch or after work'.
Another list that could contain things like: 'get up at 5 am, then go to the gym'. Or 'do not need to eat dessert'. When do two things never last, you might as well not be doing at this time. And chances are you will not be challenged to try. Better to concentrate on activities you can do. For example, instead of 'get up at 5 am to go to the gym, you better wake up early to prepare breakfast / lunch healthier.' Or wake up a little early to walk the route is more challenging than usual.
Step 4
Be kind to yourself
Do not wait to be super slim to pamper yourself. Treating yourself well will be beneficial to increase the sense of self-esteem. And your chances of losing weight the greater the confidence that great. If you can treat yourself well, you'll be happy to make healthy habits, like exercise or eating with a better menu. According to studies, good habits more easily attached if you do not 'fight' against negative feelings from within oneself.
Step 5
Overcome obstacles in exercising
Regular exercise is an important element that determines the success of weight-loss program. Unfortunately, many women are reluctant to do so. A study at Saint Louis University School of Public Health in Missouri, United States, stated that the main reason they do not exercise is because of the time. All the participants said that the concerns do not have the support or discomfort during practice to make the training session was a waste of time. Many of those who feel guilty for stealing time from family or other responsibilities for the exercise. One way to overcome this obstacle is to think that with regular exercise, both mentally and physically you will be healthier than expected. Under these conditions, it would be a lot you can do as a mother, friend, employee, or member of the community. And your view of yourself will feel better.
Step 6
Compromised by a variety of disorders
It would be difficult to concentrate on weight loss efforts, if you are burdened with a lot of worries. For example, financial condition, the pile of office work, or is having problems with a partner. Therefore, before setting a weight loss plan, first consider about what things are going to 'intervene' your business, so you can control your energy and time for the things worth. Then, make a deal with yourself about these things. If necessary, seek professional help (eg, psychologist or financial consultant). Or do changes in lifestyle. When you try it does not run to the food, when confronted with obstacles.
Step 7
Responsible to yourself
Usually you will be able to maintain weight loss if felt responsible for your own body. When you realize that your weight is your own responsibility and only you (not others) that can control it, your readiness levels will be higher.
Step 8
Think healthy, not skinny
Just 10% of your body weight can reduce the risk of obesity, heart disease, some cancers, and arthritis. Reduced weight also can boost the immune system. Therefore, focus on the benefits of weight loss that you will gain, rather than freak out a way to eat, how to practice, or how will your appearance. What do you do to control weight gain should be similar to the way you make better health care. When you eat with the correct pattern and physically active throughout life, your body weight will 'regulate themselves'. Arguably, that you eat every day is a reflection of your diet in the long run. Well, you ready for healthy eating pattern?
