Sane Weight Loss

When you wait for progress in a weight loss program it can drive you insane! Especially if you are constantly weighing yourself.

Here Are Three Tips for SANE Weight Loss

1. Don't focus on weight.

It seems odd to not focus on your weight during a weight loss program but hear me out. Weight loss happens slowly at about half a pound a week. So instead focus on immediate results like feeling good, having a great sleep and cardiovascular and strength improvements. Taking the focus off of the weight loss portion of your program makes exercise seem more beneficial and purposeful.

2. Take Measurements.

I have mentioned this point in other entries and I cannot stress it enough. Weighing yourself daily becomes obsessive and will make you go crazy! Weight fluctuates based on the time of the day, time of the month and your own personal hormonal activity. Instead of weighing yourself take measurements every three months. It is more accurate and waiting three months means you will see bigger results to motivate you in to another few months.

3. Enjoy Exercise and Eating Healthy.

Working out and healthy properly can be a drag if you have convinced yourself that you hate exercise. Anything that seems like a chore is not something to look forward to. If you do not enjoy what you do, chances are you will give it up on your first opportunity. So it is really important to find activities you enjoy participating in, and food that you think is food and satisfying. Don't make getting fit hard on yourself. It should be a fun and exciting time!

Losing weight is great for your health and well being. You don't need to deprive yourself, become obsessed with the scale or do things you do not want to do to make it work. It is your life and your body so your program should reflect your likes and wants on a personal level so you are happy with your program and results.
