Want to lose weight fast?
Get over yourself. Get out of your own way. Get on with a healthier life.
That’s it. That’s the fastest way to healthy weight loss.
Want proof? Check our ever-growing ‘Success Stories’ page. These are real stories from real people in Southern Ontario. Most of them have been overweight all their lives. Almost every story talks about how easy and/or quick it was to lose weight and keep it off.
But they all made big changes in their lives and none of them lost a lot of weight in a really short time. So why would they say it was quick and easy?
Each one of the people in our Success Stories made a commitment to stop living life at an unhealthy weight. They got over the barriers to weight loss that they themselves created.
For all of them, sustained weight loss seemed impossible before they made the commitment. But afterward, weight loss seemed far easier and faster. And the following tips will help make it that way for you too.
1. Be a Good Boss. Have you ever worked for someone that was too strict and unwavering about what they asked you to do? Did you like it? So don’t be that way with yourself. It’s an unreasonable expectation for most people to suddenly change their eating habits entirely and stick to it without exception.
It sets you up for failure because it’s inevitable that you give in and, when you do, you feel defeated and quit.
Relax, keep your eye on the goal and take responsibility for your diet, even when you decide to treat yourself to a forbidden dessert.
2. Adjust Your Image. When you commit to change your eating habits, start a nutrition plan and get more active, you probably don’t want to deal with another adjustment.
But a new hairstyle or new wardrobe can help you see yourself differently; to see the new you.
And you get to go shopping!!
3. Stop the Blame Game. Excuses are cheap. It doesn’t take you long to find one, and when you do, suddenly they’re all over the place.
Here are the facts:
- Yes, you can lose weight, you can do so healthily and you can maintain a healthy weight
- No, your metabolism, age, stress, lack of energy, or anything else you choose to blame for your excess weight, do not mean that you can’t lose weight or that it is any more difficult for you than anyone else.
4. Avoid Buzz Kills. Have you ever watched the TV show “The Biggest Loser”? Each week, at the end-of-show weigh-in, competitors approach the scales full of energy and anticipation, only to have it completely drained if the results don’t meet their expectation.
If you start eating healthier, being more active and feeling great, why ruin it by getting on a weigh scale?
5. Get the Support You Need. Regardless of the techniques and plans you use to manage your weight, it’s a big challenge that’s tough to do alone. Not only is it difficult to know what works and what doesn’t, you also need to get through those times when it feels like nothing is working.
