There is no greater reason to diet than for
your personal health and well being. Those of us who are overweight know better
than most the risks and possible consequences that may result because of our
weight. Much like smokers however, the risks do not always seem quite so cut
and dry until we reach our very own turning point. Whether your eating habits
are born of an addiction to certain foods, an emotional need, or years of
learned behavior and conditioning things will not change until you completely
adjust your eating habits and your lifestyle choices.
Dieting for many has become a lifestyle in
and of itself with people rapidly flip-flopping or yo-yoing from one diet to
another with little success and growing despair over a sheer lack of results.
The truth is that until you decide to forgive yourself for your failures and
get right back on the wagon, so to speak, after falling off no diet is going to
be successful. A simple diet isn’t going to magically make the pounds disappear
and constantly depriving yourself of those things you enjoy most may have a
more detrimental effect than a positive effect.
The number one thing most people need to
learn is that dieting isn’t always a good thing. What most people who are
overweight need more than anything else is to incorporate positive lifestyle
changes into their daily routines. People scoff at the notion of taking the
stairs or parking farther away and yet those are perfectly plausible methods of
working a little more physical activity into your day. If those do not work for
you how about learning to dance? Seriously, there are beginner dance classes in
most communities that will welcome and invite dances of all ages, sizes, and
fitness levels if you are willing to make the effort. What a great way to get
fit, learn something new, and have fun without filling deprived.
Another great thing about an activity such
as a dance class (consider ballroom dancing with your significant other) is
that you are not eating or tempted to eat during the time that you are dancing
in most cases. Another great thing is that you are burning those calories you
didn’t eat. If dancing isn’t you thing, try joining a walking club or finding
another hobby. Anything that gets you on your feet and away from the temptation
of your refrigerator is a good thing when it comes to dieting and weight loss.
You cannot lose a significant amount of weight by dieting alone. You must
incorporate physical fitness into your daily routine in order to achieve those
immediate and visually stunning results that many dieters are hoping to
achieve.
Another pitfall when it comes to dieting is
that people give up far too quickly. Just as the results are beginning and
progressing people get tired of the process or frustrated that they aren’t accomplishing
enough dramatic weight loss as quickly as they had hoped and give up all
together marking off yet another failure when they could have achieved greater
success than ever before if they had stuck with their original diet plan a
little longer.
One more thing you should remember when it
comes to dieting is that the scale can be your best friend or your worst enemy
when dieting. If you are weighing yourself every day in hopes of watching the
scale tick off yet another pound you are dooming yourself to failure. You will
never achieve the results you are hoping for you if you are going into
depressive bouts of Rocky Road or Chunky Monkey every night because you didn’t
lose 10 pounds overnight.
When it comes to dieting there are very few
diets that work. There are however, many lifestyle changes that when practiced
consistently and aggressively will work. The thing to remember is that you are
the one who must work because it is quite unlikely that any diet will.
