If you have been noticing that your clothes are fitting tighter and tighter, I have some bad news for you. It’s not that your clothes are getting smaller, it’s that you are getting bigger. I’m sorry to be the one to break this to you. Luckily, since you’re reading this article, I’ll give you some quick tips and easy things to do to make it easy to lose weight.
The first thing to do is stop thinking short term. Most people, when they think of losing weight, think of doing it quickly and getting it over with. Like pulling of a bandage, or setting a broken bone. The problem with this is that when you finish “losing weight” and go back to your old way of doing things, you gain the weight right back.
A better way to look at this is by thinking about making lifestyle changes. And the secret to making any lasting lifestyle change is to make them slow, and give yourself time to get used to them. If you start out like gangbusters, you likely won’t last very long.
In order to achieve lasting weight loss, you’ll need to exercise. So start off by running five miles every morning. Just kidding. The best way to start an exercise program is as slowly as possible. Go for a ten minute walk every night, or do one or two push ups in the morning. The trick is to get your mind and body used to the idea of actually doing exercise every day. Once you are used to it, you can add more later.
The other thing of course is to slowly change your eating habits. Introduce some lean fish in once a week, skip the ice cream shop once a week. Maybe have an apple and a banana for breakfast once a week. Once you get in the habit, you increase your frequency of healthy eating.
By going slow, and making gradual changes, you’ll yourself a dramatic advantage that most people don’t have patience for. But you’ll have the last laugh, as you will be developing a healthy, slim body that will last you a lifetime.
