- Your weight effects you in many ways other than your appearance.
- Self-esteem
- Health risks
- Depression
- Physical Ability
- To lose weight effectively, you have to permanently change four aspects of your life:
- What you eat
- How you eat
- Your behavior
- Your activity level
- Small goals are easier to reach than big ones.
- Don't weigh yourself every day. That is just depressing and will be discouraging.
- You must have a good support system. Your inner voice can be loud. It's good to have outer voices that can drown it out.
- Go public. Tell everyone you know that you are going on a diet. It will hold you more accountable.
- Meditate.
- Don't compare yourself to other people. You are the warm, calm center of the Universe. No one else is you.
- Keep a food journal, like I do on FatSecret.com. It keeps you focused and accountable to yourself.
I'm sure I'll come up with plenty more as I travel down this path, but so far, those are the big ones that I have noticed.
