It’s a New Year!!! So today I wanted to give some of my best advice and wisdom for losing weight. Here it goes:
1. There is NO effortless way to lose weight.
2. Perfection is the enemy. Progress...effort... progress....effort....progress.
3. Do something!! Everyday make a conscious decision to move more. Walking is one of the most effective ways to lose weight. Map a route with Google maps or map my run. If you have a smart phone, there are apps for this as well.
4. Journal about your day. Blogging for me was very helpful in my weight loss journey because I discovered some major things about myself. I realized that I actually identified more with being fat because I was protected. I discovered that it was serving me in a very dysfunctional way.
5. Track what you eat. You don’t need to be part of weight watchers to track your food. Food amnesia is very common. If it seems too time consuming, track how much water, fruits and vegetables you've had. Sometimes focusing on the healthy habits you're creating is more motivating.
6. Don’t bring junk in your house, not even for your kids. Why make it harder for yourself?
7. Always have fruit in the house to snack on.
8. Make a healthy habit of eating vegetables with every meal.
9. Drink water and slowly cut out soda, especially diet coke.
10.If you indulge, get over it and start again the next meal or next day.
11.Let time take time, don’t try to set a weight loss deadline. It will set you up for a lot of disappointment.
12.NEVER EVER GIVE UP. N E V E R E V E R G I V E U P!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
