Tips on successful weight loss
by Annette Croft

Throughout my childhood and teenage years I watched as my mother tried
every fad diet under the sun. I recall one time she ate boiled cabbage and
nothing else for a whole week. I felt my mothers’ frustration and misery,
however I could not understand why it was so difficult for her to lose
weight and keep it off – until that is I became a weight management
coach.
For the past two years I have been assisting people to
achieve their ideal weight and in this time I have experienced what
contributes to a successful weight loss story.
Getting
serious
It all starts with you and how serious you are about losing
weight. The key to successful weight loss is partly dependent on your
level of commitment. How would you rate your seriousness on a scale of 1 –
10 (10 being deadly serious)?
No quick fix
If you have made the
commitment to get serious about losing weight then you need to make the
commitment to do it safely and effectively. One piece of invaluable advice
my own family doctor passed onto me is that slow and steady is always the
best option. The longer it takes you to lose weight the less likely you
are to put it back on.
Staying motivated
Always keep the end in
mind! Write down all of the reasons why you are motivated to lose weight
now. Record these reasons on a piece of card that can be kept in your
wallet or purse. Each morning and before going to bed remind yourself by
reading aloud why you are motivated to lose weight.
Facing
challenges
Every day you are likely to face challenges, which can
disrupt your focus and get in the way of your weight loss goals. Write
down all of the challenges that you know have made losing weight hard for
you in the past. This will help you to develop a better strategy this
time. Three common challenges are lack of results, boredom and lack of
support from spouse, family and friends.
Choosing a weight control
program
I recommend choosing a diet / weight control program that
offers all of the following for best results:
Provides a balanced
nutritious program that is safe and effective
Support system and
regular progress follow-up
Teaches you better eating habits
Teaches
you how to maintain your weight once you have reached your goal
