It's Time to Control Your Weight

You Want to lose weight & had made some goals but you does not know how to acheive that particular Goal .

So How to Start ?

Step One

Begin by setting some small daily goals. Your weight goal might be to lose 1 pound per week.

If you hardly exercised in the past, you might want to walk around your neighborhood for 20 minutes every day. (Split it into a 10-minute walk in the morning and another in the evening.) Your nutritional goal may be to reduce your fat intake.
Your psychological goal may be to write in a journal every day.

Step Two

Now after achieving the first goal Make goals that are a little more ambitious than your original goals. For instance, two weeks after you begin to meet your daily 20-minute walk goal, extend your goal to a daily 1-hour walk; start eating smaller portions at every meal.

Step Three

Determine big-picture goals; this includes the total amount of weight you'd like to lose by the end of your program. Make a commitment to jog or run every day to maintain your weight and health; learn how you can shop, cook and eat as nutritiously as possible.

Here are some psychological ways that should help you achieve your weight loss goals.

How to keep your mind in control?

As my personal experience i saw my brother to take initial step to lose weight but after some time he stopped working out .He got carried away from his ambition & stops working out.

What should you do to control your mind?

1. Make the decision to lose weight.
If you really want to lose weight, then you need to make up your mind that you are going to do so and be determined in your pursuit of success.

2. Avoid the “all of nothing” mentality.
Let me give you an example. Have you even been on a diet and then you gave in to the craving for a biscuits? Then after you ate the biscuits, you said “Well, now that I have ruined my diet, I’ll just eat whole bag of biscuits”. That is what is meant by “all or nothing’ mentality. Realize that, as in most other endeavors, you are not going to be perfect at sticking to your diet, but don’t let one slip send you into an eating binge. If you fall off the diet wagon, get right back on and put the rest of those cookies back in the cabinet.

3. Research diet plans and choose one that fits your goals and lifestyle.
Don’t choose a diet just because it is the latest fad or because your friends are doing it or a popular celebrity is endorsing it. Make sure that the plan is one that you believe you can stick to based on your weight loss goal, your food tastes and your lifestyle.

4. Find time to exercise even if it is only a few minutes a day.
Even if you don’t have time to go to a gym and do a planned program, try to find ways that you can integrate exercise into your everyday routine such as taking the stairs instead of the elevator or parking further away so that you have to walk further to your car.

5. Keep a food diary.
Just taking a few minute to write down what you eat and then reading over that list at the end of the day can be a real eye opener. You may not realize just how many calories you are eating per day until you see it in writing.

6. Find a partner for support.
Finding a diet or work out partner will help keep you motivated.

7. Take a “before” weight loss photo.

8. Set short term goals.
If you focus on losing 50 pounds, you can easily get discouraged, so focus on achieving smaller goals such as 5 pounds. If you keep reaching your small goals, before you know it, you will have reached your long term goals.

9. Reward yourself for success (but not with food).
Give yourself a reward for reaching a short term goal. For example, you can go to a movie you want to see, buy a new outfit, or get a massage. Just don’t use food as a reward.

10. Don’t let other people discourage you.
If you tell other people that you are trying to lose weight, some of them will probably be less than supportive or want to tell you about their failed efforts and make you feel like you will fail also. Realize that there are other people that just don’t like to see anyone achieve success or that are just negative people in general and don’t let those people get you down.
