7 Tricks How To Stick To Your Decision To Lose Weight

Copyright 2005 Arina Nikitina

So, you’ve decided to lose weight. You're changing your

eating habits, you began to exercise... But do you know

what the most difficult part is?

It's ability to stay on track. Here are few tips that will

help you to stay on track:

1. Remind yourself about your reasons.

Write down all the benefits of loosing weight and review it

on a daily basis. It doesn't take long, and it will keep

you motivated through the day.

2. Use affirmations

Repeat the positive phrase to yourself whenever you have

chance to or if you need inspiration.

3. Use visualization

Visualize yourself being slim. Imagine how you feel…

Imagine what your friends will say… Use the power of your

imagination to stay on track.

4. Form a success habit.

First, ask yourself what habits it will take to lose

weight. Exercising on a daily basis? Cooking healthy food?

It is the fact that in 30 days you can turn almost anything

into a habit!

ALL of our habits are formed the same way. By doing

something over and over again until it becomes second

nature. So all you have to do to form a new habit is to

repeat the same action over and over again every day during

30 days. After 30 days it will become a habit.

But here is a catch: you can't afford to skip a single day.

If you do you'll have to start over again. During first

thirty days, if you miss even a single day of practice

reset your 30-day clock to Day One and start from the

beginning.

5. Find more time for cooking and exercising

If you think you don't have time for loosing weight, think

again. Do you have time for watching TV? Reading newspapers

or magazines? Chatting with friends? Well, if " yes " than

you definitely have time for weight loss.

You don't have to eliminate all your activities; you can

just cut back on them. Just trim by 10% the amount of time

you spend on each of your daily activities. And invest the

extra time in loosing weight.

6. Fight the temptation.

It is really very easy. All you have to do is prioritize.

For example, if you see a pack of delicious cookies in the

store and suddenly start craving one, ask yourself: " What

do I want more: to eat this cookie or to have a beautiful

slim body? " Listen to yourself. Is this cookie really so

important to you?

If you're still craving it use the 10 minute rule. Take

your mind off food for the next 10 minutes. If you're in a

grocery store go to the book section and pick a very

interesting book instead. Most of the time your craving

will stop.

If not, you can take one serving and give the rest of the

cookies to your neighbor. Or put them somewhere where it

would be a problem for you to get them.
