When it comes to healthy easy weight loss tips, there are lots of things you can do to either sabotage yourself or support yourself. The choice is up to you.
After years of self-sabotage and living in denial about what it takes to support my weight loss efforts, I decided to take responsibility and get real.
Oh, what a difference it has made. The more I work to support and focus on what I want, the easier it is to achieve my goals.
I don’t delude myself into thinking I can live in a house filled with candy dishes.
I make it easy to eat well and difficult to indulge. It’s what works for me and studies confirm that it’s what works for most people. When it comes to healthy weight loss, there are no big secrets. You need to focus on what you want, believe you deserve it, set yourself up for success with a supportive environment and then take action to achieve it.
Here are 10 Ways to Set Yourself Up for Healthy Weight Loss Success
Healthy Weight Loss Success
1. Stock a healthy pantry. Having quick and easy food at your fingertips is a key to healthy weight loss success. It makes meal planning easyso you are less tempted by fast food and take out.
2. Have a stash of quick and easy healthy ready to eat foods at the ready. Things like apples, bananas, nuts, peanut butter, plain yogurt, whole grain crackers, and popcorn.
3. Keep a food journal. So much of what we do is habit. To raise awareness and tune into your eating habits, take the time to write it all down – including what you eat, how much, when, where and why. You’ll be amazed by what you discover.
4. Take a 20 minute walk most days of the week. Moving is key to success and there’s no easier form of movement than taking a walk. You can do it anywhere and all you need is a pair of sneakers. (If you prefer, find some other form of enjoyable exercise.)
5. Spend 5 minutes a day doing focused breathing. Sit quietly, close your eyes and just breathe. It will help relax you which is something we all need more of in these busy stressful times.
6. Buy and use smaller dishes. Modern dishes have grown in proportion to our super-sized meals. This is one of the easiest things I’ve done to help support my healthy weight loss goals.
7. Eat regular meals. Don’t skip meals. Don’t snack all day. Set regular times for eating and then stick with them as much as you can. As natural beings, we like rhythm and routine in our lives.
8. Eat some protein at each meal. It will keep you feeling full longer.
9. Drink lots of water. It will help keep your systems working and prevent you from getting tired.
10. Learn to say “no.” Most of us are overworked and overstressed which contributes to excess weight gain in a multitude of ways. To protect your time, your energy and your waistline, learn to say no to extra food, to the things you don’t want to do and to the people who drain you.
