Five Anti-Resolution Tips
Is there any more depressing time of the year if you’re trying to lose weight?
The television bombards us with commercials for diet products and programs. There are dozens of quick fixes, pills to take and crazy diet plans to sign up (and pay) for.
So, here are my tips for getting through this rough time of the year and staying focused on healthy eating, exercise, and gradual, maintainable weight loss.
- Like yourself the way you are. You don’t withhold love from your family and friends until they lose a few pounds, do you? Why are you doing it to yourself. Do something nice for yourself today.
- Focus on your health, not your weight. I hear you, “But my weight affects my health.” That’s true, but too often we try to take shortcuts to weight loss that are bad for our health. Focus on taking good care of yourself.
- See you doctor. How long has it been since you had a checkup? Talk to your doctor about your health, your diet, and exercise. Get some advice and the go-ahead to change your lifestyle.
- If it sounds too good to be true, it is. While writing this, I saw yet another ad for a pill that will make you lose weight without changing your eating or exercise habits. Yeah, and you can get rich by quitting your job and going into debt too. Right….
- The only way to lose weight is by diet and exercise. Work on making healthy changes to the way you eat and live. You’ll feel better AND lose weight.
