Hello FitCampers!
It was so nice to see all of you Tuesday at the Kick Off! Everyone looked like they are ready to Rock and Roll!
Also I had a great turn out for the Group Fitness Class last night! Keep up the good work!
Here are a few suggestions to keep yourself motivated to Lose Weight:
1.) Visualize the success.
In order NOT to quit, think about what is waiting for you when you reach your goal. Think how well you will feel, how others will admire you , how you will improve your health, what small size clothes you will be able to shop for.
2.) Find a passion or hobby.
When you set your goal, refocus your mind from snacking to other things. Do not think about food constantly, it only encourages you to break the rules, and irritates you. Try to find a passion, a hobby, which will occupy your thoughts. The best way is to find a hobby away from the kitchen.
3.) Start with small changes.
If your eating habits require a number of radical changes, do not make them all at once, because you will get discouraged. Any modifications to your current menu should be implemented slowly.
4.) Reward the results.
The prize should be a pleasant bubble bath, good sleep, new clothes, new pair of running shoes and NOT chocolate or other snack.
5.) Convince yourself it is worth the trouble.
Remind yourself how much better you will be when you get to your target weight/size.
6.) Get used to new lifestyle and diet.
Changing eating habit is often associated with changes that seem impossible to implement. The healthy foods do not always have to taste bad. There are a number foods which are delicious, for example: cereals, nuts, bran with dried fruit, Greek yogurt, whole grains.
7.) Find someone who is trying to lose weight and make a lifestyle change and do this together.
Support each other and share your successes and failures.
8.) List the reasons why you decided to lose weight.
For example: to feel better, to be healthier, to have more energy........
Now it is time to enforce these rules!!
