Get excited about exercise: Make it easier to stick with your weight loss programme by choosing an exercise you enjoy. Set yourself targets. If you’re a swimmer, push for those extra lengths. If you walk or run, use a smart phone app to track your progress. If you’re struggling for motivation, consider exercising with a friend or in a group.
Enjoy the occasional treat: Don’t depress yourself with the thought that you can never again eat a favourite food such as pizza, chocolate or chips. Learn to enjoy them in moderation and you won’t need to completely give them up. Through regular exercise and a nutritious weight loss diet, your body’s balance sheet should soon be healthy enough for you to afford it. So celebrate special occasions with a favourite treat. Just don’t make a habit of it!
Change your lifestyle: If you take the attitude that a weight loss diet and exercise plan are only required until such time as you reach your ideal weight, it’s likely you will eventually pile the pounds on again. But if you learn to enjoy exercise and good food as part your new lifestyle routine, and overcome the emotional eating habits at the root of your previous behaviour, you will soon accomplish your goals far more easily than you ever thought possible.
