How To DietAt First Dieting is EasyStarting a new diet is easy. We are full of enthusiasm and motivation to lose weight. But two weeks later it's often a different story. Our desire to reduce weight has diminished, our diet-plan has become boring and our weight loss goals seem as faraway as ever. Indeed, after 14 days of counting calories and eating only healthy foods, we often find ourselves yearning for a high-calorie pizza or carton of ice cream. How To Boost Diet MotivationTo counter these negative feelings, we need to remind ourselves why we decided to lose weight in the first place. For example, we might remind ourselves of this important fact.
Remember, being overweight means we carry excess body fat around everywhere we go. For example, if we are a mere five pounds overweight, we are carrying the equivalent of an extra 5-pound bag of potatoes on our body. Now suppose we are 40 pounds overweight - that's eight 5-pounds bags of potatoes! Carrying this heavy weight around, 12 hours a day, is a nightmare. It's much more difficult than choosing to eat lower-calorie foods. When Your Diet Gets DifficultIf you find that your diet is becoming difficult to stick to, and you are wondering why you bothered to try and lose weight in the first place, focus on the bags of potatoes you are carrying and remind yourself that (by comparison) your diet plan is your friend. Don't Forget to Get Proper Diet SupportWhether you are following Atkins diet, South Beach, Zone or Weight Watchers points system, make sure you get enough support to maintain your weight loss motivation. This is crucial to your success. |
