It can seem impossible to reach your weight loss goals. One of the hardest things to do is to get started. The next hardest thing to do is to do it again. What can you do to make sure you're a success?
Figuring out your weight loss goals and setting a number for how much weight you want to lose comes first. You must also decide if you would just like to drop a few pounds or if you want to lose so much weight that you will have to buy all new clothes. Figure out exactly why you want to shed the pounds. Do you want to drop a dress size? To reach a specific weight goal? Or maybe you just want to improve your health and energy levels?
Each week, you should chart your progress, so you know if you are improving. Start a weight loss diary, making note of your weight on a weekly basis. Within the journal, create a food log to keep track of all the food you eat each day. When you write down everything you consume, you will be much more aware of what you are eating, causing you to make better choices.
Allowing yourself to become overly hungry is a huge mistake. If you allow yourself to get too hungry, it is hard to keep self-control. Schedule your meals and menus in advance, and have snacks on hand to eat when you're hungry. If you can bring your own lunch, do it. This can help you save your waistline and your money.
