Trying To Find Out The "Secrets" To Losing Weight? Well, It's Your Lucky Day Because They Are About

The main reason which prevents people from losing weight is ENDLESS procrastination. Most people tell themselves that they'll begin dieting "next week" or "after some future holiday" (or some other excuse) and that let's them procrastinate even further. The truth is that it doesn't matter what month it is, and it doesn't matter what time of year it is either, since it's foolish to wait until a particular month to get slim. Why would you want to remain overweight until some future month or time of year? Getting slim allows you to wear more attractive and better fitting clothes right now... and that feeling is very worthwhile. Every journey begins with taking that first step, and if you never take that first step then you'll never have a thinner and more attractive body. So, with that being said, let's get started.

Secret Number One
Develop a Routine- be organized- develop a routine for eating right. Consistency is important to your success.
2) Get Active- Making exercise a regular part of your life is a valuable part of any weight-loss program. Choose activities you enjoy that you can do consistently.
3) Be realistic about what you can do- it is very important to be consistent.
4) You don't need to do it all at once. Consider adding a little more activity to things you already do. For example, park at the end of the lot and walk a little farther. Using a pedometer can be a handy way to track how far you walk.
5) Start small and work your way up. Three times a week is a good start. Even a little more activity supports your weight-loss goals.
6) Set Goals and plan what you'll do, where you'll do it, and how much- Keep track of your exercise progress.
7) Speak with your doctor. Before you start a new exercise program, you should check with your doctor.
8) Stick to your Program- Healthy eating is a matter of replacing bad habits with good ones. And no habit is broken overnight. Don't expect to follow your program perfectly everyday.
9) Have a Plan for Staying on Track- Sometimes you can't avoid temptation, but you can have a plan for dealing with it. Pay attention to what triggers you to eat, like a situation or a person, and have a plan for how to handle those triggers. Knowing what to expect can help you avoid slip-ups.
10) Accept the occasional slip-up. Just remember that weight control isn't like tightrope-walking, where one slip means you're finished. Accept that slips are going to happen.
11) If you do slip, focus on what you could do differently next time. Try to understand what led to the slip-up, and how you might break the cycle next time.
12) Give yourself lots of small rewards for making regular progress.
