Losing Weight: Seeing Results with Weight Loss and Exercising
Wendy Hearn
Are you seeing and achieving the results you want? I often
hear people say they've been following a diet and
exercising, yet their weight doesn't always appear to be
reducing.
When I'm working with people who want to lose weight and
become fitter, one of the reasons I've found to account for
this is that their approach is sporadic. They may start a
strict diet, give up after a couple of weeks, then start
another, perhaps a different one.
A certain event, maybe Christmas or a holiday often sets
this cycle off again and afterwards they stop the diet.
These typical examples reveal how being sporadic in your
approach to your health leads to you being half-hearted.
Do you join a gym and then give it up or are you still
paying for it, yet not even going? Are you eating meals
regularly? Are your eating habits irregular? Do you skip
meals sometimes, mostly breakfast?
The way to achieve the results that you're looking for is
to be consistent. Being consistent means choosing a
regular exercise and eating plan and committing to it.
This needs to fit in totally with your life and needs to be
continued, even after you've started seeing some results.
Developing a regular exercise and eating plan, and following
it consistently will allow you to lead a healthier life.
Being healthy is something which needs to be approached
consistently and when you're being sporadic in your approach
you're unlikely to achieve the results you want. Many
people are haphazard in their approach, particularly with
regard to weight loss.
If you've been sporadic you're very normal but there are
ways that you can change to make you more consistent.
Look at the reasons you're being sporadic and deal with
them. Perhaps you need to write some of this down to
enable you to explore more fully what's going on. There
are a number of ways that you can become more consistent
with your weight loss.
One way is to make it an integral part of every day and not
something that has to be fitted in if you have time. You
can make a plan for your eating and exercise. Look at all
parts of this plan to schedule the time you need to devote
to it in your life.
If there are times when you're being sporadic, don't give
yourself a hard time; instead, celebrate the time that you
achieve consistency. This will help you to build momentum,
which will in turn enable you to feel more motivated to
continue.
I've found that being sporadic often occurs when you may be
taking on too much. Perhaps, when you first started
exercising you committed to doing too much and too often.
This becomes difficult to maintain and may lead to you
giving up.
I would suggest that you commit to an eating and exercising
plan that is achievable on a consistent basis. For
instance, decide to exercise once a week and stick at it,
rather than committing to six times a week initially and
then giving up.
You can always build on this weekly exercising once it has
become a consistent habit. Being consistent in your actions
will bring you consistent results.
What do you need to be doing on a regular basis to achieve
weight loss and health for yourself?
