If you have been struggling with weight loss for some time, there are areas that you should seek to take control now instead of allowing others to control them. This means you determine how much weight you want to lose and how you would go about losing the weight. Here are 6 areas you should be in control that will ultimately determine your level of success. # 1 Think Thin The excess weight is something you want it off your body, right? Therefore take control of what goes into your mind and head by thinking thin. Build mental pictures of your slim body in that bikini size swimsuit or that gorgeous black dress. Focus on staying fit and ward off any negative thoughts that depict you as fat and ugly. Many people focus on gaining weight and they do gain weight. The option is to think thin. # 2 Eat Right Before you embark on your weight loss journey, you should know the basics of eating right and better and what this entails. If you still love your sugary doughnuts or the French fries, it is time to rid them off and begin a new lifestyle of eating and drinking healthy immediately. Go for the best selections such as lean meat, fish, fresh organic leafy vegetables and fruits, whole grains, seeds and nuts. In other words, you should eat more mindfully, to lose the fat as well as to improve nutrition. # 3 Small is Better Eating right should be accompanied with smaller food portion size. You can give in to more frequent but smaller and nutritious meals. The leftovers can be saved up for the next meal. Use a smaller plate especially during buffet lunches or dinner as the tendency to overfill the plate may prove overwhelming. You may sample a little of each food just to kill your curiosity but the ultimate food portion is something you can control. # 4 Overcome emotional eating The emotional barriers are one area that you have to identify with and dealt with seriously. Some people eat for reasons of boredom, anxiety, stress, and anger. One way is to write down your feelings and thoughts each time you reached for food. Another way is to keep the mind body occupied with work or other forms of distractions such as reading a book, and listening to music. Using hypnosis or a technique called EFT has been proven to work well to correct an emotional attachment to foods. # 5 Get a Work-Out Any physical exercise can easily be done in the comfort of the home or office. For example, by taking longer walks to the office or using the stairs instead of the escalators is equivalent to a good cardio workout at the gym. You are in control of the time and the place so a good 20-30 minutes of physical exercise at least 3 times a week will get your metabolism up and running. #6 Get a Health Check Getting a health check is a good idea to ensure that you are on the right track of your weight loss journey. Knowing your own health condition will help you to pre-understand your own body and thus take appropriate control action for weight loss purposes. For instance, if there is a hormonal issue, your weight loss control action will much differ from another who does not have the same hormonal problem. Perhaps you already know the areas that you should focus on to lose weight. What's lacking can be found within yourself. The sooner you take back your ultimate control, the faster you will achieve your desired weight. |
