There
are many overweight and even obese people in the world who really wish that
they could lose a few pounds but for one reason or another never quite reach
their weight loss goals.
Here are a few
simple weight loss tips which just might help;
" Write it down - even on the bad days
when you've had a moment of weakness and eaten something which has made you
feel guilty - write it down. If you get into the habit of writing everything
down you will really begin to understand what you are actually doing. You might
be surprised at just how much you actually eat and how often you give in to
temptation, only then can you do something about it.
" Don't ban all of your favorite foods
- we're only human. If you like to eat takeaways then treat yourself every now
and then. The best idea is to save up the calories and then you will feel like
you've really earned the treat. Sticking religiously to boring food is a sure
way to failure. You can also tweak many of your favorites with ingredients which
make them lower in fat - replace butter with low fat spread; olive oil spray is
another fantastic friend for those who are trying to lose weight.
" Stick a picture on the fridge - some
people use a photograph of themselves when they were at their heaviest but that
doesn't work for everybody. Others prefer something like a holiday photograph
of somewhere they'd love to visit just as soon as they'll look good on the
beach.
" As soon as you've dropped a dress
size treat yourself to some new clothes - okay, so you might not have reached
your goal yet and still have a couple of sizes to go but this will at least
remind you of how well you've done and help to stop you from going back to your
old ways and clothes sizes. Give your larger clothes away to a charity shop so
that they're gone.

" Don't forget that losing weight
starts in the kitchen and getting fit starts with exercise - but combining the
two can really help to speed up the weight loss process. Don't get stuck in a
boring exercise routine because variety really is the spice of life. Swim,
walk, run, dance, go for a cycle ride, play tennis with friends, just do
something.
" Don't beat yourself up about the bad
days, and don't give up. Everybody has the occasional bad day but don't let
that be an excuse to give in. If you start afresh every morning that will help
to sort out that problem. Just for the record, everybody has bad days . . . you are not alone.
" Measure things - not just your
weight, but measure your food on the kitchen scales and the amount of alcohol
you give yourself at home. It really is very easy to fool yourself and you may
be surprised at how generous you are being with the portion sizes. Generous
portion sizes equate to generous amounts of calories, remember that.
There
are plenty of subtle ways which can really help you to achieve your weight loss
goals - it is just a case of finding out what works for you.
