Tip #2,#3, #4 from blog entitled “21 Weight Loss Tips You
Have Probably Never Tried” (www.listotic.com).
2. Invest In Flattering Workout Clothes
Looking and feeling good goes a long way towards staying
confident and motivated. If you have gym clothes that make you look and feel
good about yourself, you’re more likely to keep a regular workout routine. And
if you can afford it, get a makeover while you’re at it! Just because you are
not at the weight you want to be now doesn’t mean you shouldn’t feel your best.
Building your confidence NOW will help you stay motivated and on track
3. Don't Exercise Just For Weight Loss
Exercising consistently week after week can be hard if your only
goal is weight loss. Believe me, the scale can lie! It doesn’t take into
account your body composition (fat vs. muscle), and sometimes results can be
slow. If you can remind yourself (maybe even make a list) of all of the other
reasons why you exercise, you’re more likely to make it part of your life.
Imagine yourself one or more years from now and how different you would look
and feel with regular and consistent exercise vs. not exercising at all.
4. Make A Separate Snack Station
Stocking your kitchen with healthy food and keeping temptation
food on the shelves at the grocery store is ideal, but let’s face it, most of
us have husbands, kids, or roommates. Keep a separate section in the your
refrigerator and cabinets that is just for you. And spend an hour or so each
week making fruits, veggies, and other healthy snacks easier to eat and take
on-the-go. You’re less likely to eat the eggs you boiled if they aren’t peeled,
but if you peel them all ahead of time and place them in individual bags,
you’ll eat them! Sometimes it just comes down to convenience.
