After choosing a diet plan, and making sure that it is one that can last a lifetime, you will need to make the necessary intellectual and emotional commitments needed for success. Don’t look at your diet plan as a temporary thing, something to discard or ignore once you achieved your weight loss goal. There are four things that you can do to help make the intellectual and emotional commitments to make your diet last a lifetime -
1. Define your goals. Don’t just think “I’ve got to lose some weight.” Pick a target, even if its a moving target. Some dieters like to think in increments, for instance, losing 20 pounds, and then establishing a new goal until they arrive at a weight level they feel most comfortable with.
2. Try to choose a realistic time-line for losing weight. It took years to on those excess pounds. Don’t expect to lose them all in one month!
3. Try to avoid as much stress as possible during the earliest stages of a diet. Eating binges are often the result of high stress levels.
4. Buy a good scale, preferably an accurate digital one. Some of the most sophisticated scales can also measure the ratio of body fat to lean muscle mass. A Body Mass Index (BMI) over 25 usually indicates obesity, although variables such as height can influence your number.
