Why you'll succeed this time
Have you tried every diet going but still had little weight-loss success? The problem may not be a lack of willpower, or even the types of plans you've tried. The problem could be that you are not ready for success.
Preparing yourself mentally and physically before starting a diet programme is vital. In fact, it could mean the difference between reaching your goals or repeating diet history.
Are you prepared this time?
Use our checklist to make sure you're ready to go the distance. And if you answer no to any of the questions, use our tips to get you prepared to answer yes! Print it out and check off each step as you accomplish it. When you've done that, you're ready to start losing weight!
1. Have you set realistic goals?
Do you know how much weight you want to lose or how quickly you can safely lose it? Set realistic, attainable goals and know what to expect, so you don't get frustrated and bail out before reaching your goal weight.
Before you begin, prepare yourself for the fact that you're not going to lose the weight overnight - remember, you didn't gain it instantly. A healthy rate of weight loss is three to five pounds in the first week and one to two pounds each week thereafter. Sit down with your journal and determine just what that means in terms of your individual goals.
