Tips To Weigh Loss
So you've been contemplating whether
it is time to finally change your lifestyle for good in order to lose weight.
As you probably already know, you have about a thousand options out there
whether you are talking about diet or workout programs.
It is important to know
that if you follow these tips, you will be successful no matter what specific
program(s) you choose. These tips deal with your core motivations and what

change.

1. It is so important to maintain
what I call a "next month" outlook.
How do you want to look after the
next four weeks? How exactly do you want to feel? This approach is so much more
effective than thinking about completely transforming your body after the next
two years. Sure there is a time and place for that, but it can be a little
overwhelming at times.
2. Change the way you view (and
value) food.
Examine your motivation for eating.
I know this may sound a little strange at first, but just think about it. Do
you eat because you are "craving" a certain food? Or do you eat out
of sheer habits that you have been practicing for years? Obtain a sense of
purpose with your eating habits.
Let me give you a very simple example. I eat
predominantly lean proteins and green vegetables. My next meal is going to be
scrambled egg whites along with some sauteed spinach.
3. Don't view exercise as a chore!
I know what you are thinking. I
don't like working out or I don't have time to work out. These excuses can seem
so concrete and valid in your justification-matrix. Just remember that these
views and opinions are simply choices you have made. So choose to derive at
least some enjoyment from exercise. You don't have to be cheesy about it, but
make a choice.
4. Stop comparing yourself to other
people.
There are a few people that can be
the exception to this rule. From the hundreds of people I have helped, I firmly
believe that it is not a good idea to compare yourself to the fitness model you
saw in the grocery store. You will only be hard on yourself
5. Create a vivid picture of the
best you and hold onto it as often as possible.
Here's where I recommend that you
let your imagination run wild. If you have a picture of what you used to look
like, this can be helpful too. Picturing the future you is much more productive
though.
I genuinely hope that these tips can
help you change your outlook for the better. Just remember to work on your
mental, emotional, and spiritual outlook before really engaging in changing the
physical. Once you have done this, then it is time to take massive action!
Trust me, you will be so much more successful for it.
