Thea Doby 's blog ::CELEBRATING WELLNESS & WEIGHT LOSS!
When it comes to living a healthier lifestyle, one must include finding the healthy ideal body weight in their list. Most often than not, you would have to lose a pound or two, perhaps 10 pounds, for you to get to your ideal body weight. In my personal "healthy lifestyle" journey, I have learned a thing or two about weight loss; the most important thing about weight loss is to learn how to recognize a good versus a bad weight loss practice. 1. Set a Realistic Weight Loss Goal In my younger years, I would push myself to the limit and set an unrealistic weight loss goal in front of me. I achieved it, but at the expense of my own health. My weight loss goals now are more steady and realistic. I do not look for faster results, but look farther into long-term health benefits that I could get from it. 2. Avoid Weight Loss Fads Several years ago, I would try everything and anything from "Celebrity Diet" down to the "cabbage soup" diet. There were a lot of weight loss fads that I have gotten myself into, mostly unsuccessful and hurtful to my health. Weight loss fads will never go away. There are still several "exercise in a bottle" products out there promising rapid weight loss results, don't do it. The health risks and unwanted side effects are definitely not worth your while. 3. Create a Food Journal or Diary A great way to remind yourself or perhaps motivate you of your new found healthier lifestyle is your personal food journal or diary. It doesn't have to be "word for word" writing, just short and sweet reminders to yourself of the different foods, both good and not-so-good that you have tried; describing the emotions you have felt with these foods could help you overcome any patterns of "emotional" eating, too. 4. Smaller Plates Equal Smaller Portions This is one of the things that work for me. By using a smaller plate, I have learned to discipline myself in eating the right portion every time. It may not be easy at first, patience is the key. 5. Getting a Scale Recording your weight loss progress may be impossible if you don't own a scale in the first place. Get one and weigh yourself at the same time weekly or monthly to see how you are doing. A scale don't lie, so, if you have not been watching what you eat lately, it will show. 6. Make an Announcement Hold yourself accountable with your weight loss goals by telling your friends about your journey. After all, you will be more inspired and motivated to lose weight if you have frequent reminders around you. Go ahead, post it on your Facebook wall, you will be surprised how many of your Facebook friends are looking into losing a pound or two themselves. 7. Find a Weight Loss Partner Find a weight loss partner. Personally, I have my husband's support. He and I make it a point to make healthier homemade meals instead of getting fast food all the time like we used to. We both love to walk and play tennis, too. So, finding a weight loss partner must be based on sharing the same interests in order to make it work. 8. Be Mindful of Your Caloric Intake One thing that I did not get for a long time is watching my caloric intake. All the while I thought that skipping my meals all day and waiting to eat at dinner time is healthier than eating 3 regular meals or 6 small meals a day. Don't just starve yourself nor skip meals. Follow your recommended daily caloric intake. In doing so, you can better accomplish your goals, be it to maintain your current weight or lose some. 9. Add some fiber in your diet. I have recently added fiber in my diet and I am so glad I did. Once or twice a day, I enjoy a bowl of the old-fashioned oatmeal. It helps my metabolism and keeps me full and satisfied, too. 10. Keep in touch with your primary care physician at least once a year. Before you try any exercise programs or decide to lose weight, it is very important to consult with your primary care physician first. There is no such thing as a "one size fits all" workout program. Remember, your goal is to lose weight safely for health reasons, and not just for vanity. To your wellness! |
