Weight Loss – Mind Over Matter

January 19, 2010 by  

Are you making another New Year’s resolution to lose weight again this year? Make this the year that you finally lose all those pounds!

Another year has gone by and you still have not lost those extra pounds you promised to lose last year? Well make this the year that you finally make a commitment and follow through with this difficult task.

Before you decide which gym to join, before you sit down and plan out a diet plan, before any of this, you must be mentally focused and prepared to make a difference in your life. I know how hard it is not to eat your favorite foods, and how hard to take time out of your busy day to go for a jog, but before anything you must be dedicated and committed to making these kind of changes in your life. I know that its common to “fall off the wagon” sort of speaking, but that is normal once in awhile. As long as you get right back on that horse and continue on your road to a healthy lifestyle.

The one thing that most people that are trying to loss weight should remember is that not all diets are a painful experience! You can still eat some of the foods that you love once in a while to reward yourself, as long as the portion sizes are smaller then what you are used to. Try to eat more often but small portions. Take a small zip lock bag of trail mix to work and snack on it instead having that doughnut your used to. Have a turkey breast sandwich on whole wheat instead of the fries and gravy from the cafeteria that your used to. These are all things that you can implement into your regular life that can help you lose weight and keep it off.

Staying active is also another very important aspect of losing weight and there are many little things that can be implemented into your regular daily routine to achieve this. For example, when you go walk your dog, try to do some interval jogging. This means you do a fast walk for about 2 or 3 minutes then a fast jog for 2 or 3 minutes. As long as you break a sweat every day, for at least 45 minutes, you will lose weight.

Humans are creatures of habit, we do not like changing our daily routine. But if you implement these things like eating well and staying active into your daily routine, then you will be healthier and you will achieve your goal. People can only be taught so much, but they must have the mental fortitude to stick with the routine, no matter how difficult it may be at first. After all, it all is just mind over matter.
