It is actually pretty easy to lose weight, if you are in the right frame of mind. Most people know about calories and exercise and eating and that if they cut down what they are eating or have lower fat, lower sugar foods, they can lose wieght. However, wieght loss is much more than this. What is hard is not losing weight, but losing weight for a sustained period of time and then keeping it off.
A key thing to do is to write down what is motivating you to lose that wieght. It could be a health scare, a nasty comment, vanity, because you cannot do something you want to achieve. There are all sorts of reasons why you could want to lose weight. Once you have established the reason, write it down and stick it in a prominent place. Put it in a place where you know you will read it, when you need help with sticking to a healthy eating plan, know where it is and be able to look at it for inspiration.
Sometimes with weight loss it is as if someone suddenly switches a switch and we feel motivated. This is the time to note down what it was that motivated us. Do the same thing when you get demotivated and you might be able to put together a picture of what you can use to help you stay motivated.
It is also extremely important to make sure that you see the change in eating habits as a life time change. Do not think that once you lose the wieght, you will be able to go back to your old ways. This is a big pitfall of many people and they will put the wieght they lost back on and more besides, because they go back to their old ways.
Research has shown that exercise can help maintain weight loss and so this is worth considering too.
