Re: Weight Loss Tips?

[(Anonymous)]

From someone who lost 20+ lbs and has kept it off for the better part of a decade...

The first thing you need to do is recognize that you are making a permanent lifestyle change, not "going on a diet." Diets don't work because they are aimed at short-term weight loss, not correcting the underlying unhealthy habits that led to the weight gain in the first place. You need to totally overhaul your eating habits to smaller portions, more healthy food/less junk food, and overall moderation.

Which is another important point: everything in moderation. Don't cut foods out of your diet entirely; by thinking of certain foods as "bad" or "forbidden," you are just furthering the already-unhealthy relationship you have with food. Eating should not involve feelings of shame or guilt. Healthy eating is being able to go have that chocolate sundae once in a while without feeling bad about it because you know occasional splurges don't matter when your overall eating habits are healthy ones. Healthy eating is not thinking of food as the enemy.

Another thing you need to do is find a type of exercise that you enjoy and look forward to. It needs to be something that you actively want to do rather than something you feel obligated to do. I now actually get antsy when I can't have my daily walk because I love the relaxation I get from it. Make it a part of your daily routine and it'll start feeling weird when you DON'T do it.

Good luck, anon! Losing weight is a slow process, so you need to be patient and not expect it to happen overnight. The payoffs are more than worth it.
