YOU LOST SOME WEIGHT, NOW WHAT?
Part 1
When you start a diet, you need to realize that, in order to succeed, there are TWO “contracts” involved. Losing the weight and keeping the weight off. Once you reach your goal, the hardest part begins. Keeping the weight off can be very challenging. First, we need to accept that our body will naturally try to gain weight. There is no “vaccine” against weight gain.
It is very easy to slip back to old eating habits. Skipping meals, which causes starvation, promotes poor health and affects our metabolism. When we are on a diet, we never skip meals. So why do some of us stop eating regular meals once we reach our goal?
One bad habit that comes back is not planning our meals. This leads to poor choices and encourages us to eat out. When we are on a diet, we rarely eat out and try our best to control what we eat; we plan ahead and manage our grocery list properly.
Another habit that causes havoc in weight control is having treats too frequently. A treat should be occasional, not a daily thing. It is very important to enjoy a treat once in a while just not every day.
To have success in keeping the weight off, have a plan, prioritize your new lifestyle and stay in touch with your weightloss coach. A GREAT COACH should understand your needs, and help you by giving you confidence, maintaining communication, and education.
