Weight Loss Tip
By Janice Elizabeth Small, Mon Dec 26th
Whenever you feel your motivation slipping give yourself a boostby treating yourself like a precious child. 1. Talk to yourself kindly You encourage your children to do their best and to have anothergo when they fail. You don't say "Might as well give up then,you're useless at this. You'll never succeed". If they'relearning something new, you encourage them to keep practisinguntil it becomes second nature. Give yourself the same wisewords when you're trying to lose weight! You can do this! Youreally can!
2. Nourish yourself Would you let a child stand at the fridge wolfing down a wholetub of cookie dough ice cream? Would you let them ask for achocolate biscuit and then eat the packet empty? Why not? Youknow what's good for them, that's why not! Parents who care for their children don't feed them a lot ofjunk food, coffee, wine and cigarettes. Aside from thelegalities of it all, they want their children to grow uphealthy, fit and strong. Why would you want any less for yourown health? Give yourself the very best nourishment you can. Eat lean meat,fish, healthy carbs and vegetables and allow yourself the oddtreat. Don't spoil your appetite for healthy meals by eatingunhealthy snacks all day - give junk food the thumbs down. 3. Play Children's bodies cry out for physical activity so we take ourchildren out and give them lots of active play. But what are wedoing for ourselves while we are running around chauffeuringthem from one thing to the next? Are we just complaining wehaven't got time to exercise? Carve some time out of yourschedule every day to do something active, even if it's just a10-minute walk at lunchtime. No child deserves to be cooped upall day and neither do you. You can't expect to perform at yourpeak if you only ever move between your desk and the coffeemachine or the sofa and the fridge. 4. Stick with It long term When you have a child, you're in it for
the long haul. You'renot here one day and gone the next. You commit to takingresponsibility for the child's welfare at least until they growup and probably for long after that. So why should it be anydifferent where your own health and welfare is concerned? Youdeserve long term care, not a two-week crash diet "that's allI'm giving it" before going back to abusing your body. Make acommitment to care for your health forever. 5. Be Consistent You care for a precious child day in day out. You don't give thechild lots of love and care on Monday only to neglect him or herby Friday. That's exactly how you treat yourself when you starta new diet every other week. You need to be consistent intreating yourself well to get great results. 6. Make it routine Children thrive on routine. Despite their protests they love thesecurity of knowing the rules of the house and someone caringwhether they keep to them or not. They like order and certaintyabout how things are done. Adults are no different. Everyone is a creature of habit to someextent. When we have good habits we eat healthily and move our bodieswithout thinking about it. And we reach our weight loss andfitness goals as a result of following our habits - almostautomatically. If you don't have a good routine, like any child you need somediscipline to keep to the habits which are for your benefit inthe long term. But after a while you will find you settle intoyour new routines without a fuss - after all they feel sonatural and they're doing you good. It takes just 21 days of consistent practise to form a newhabit. So start today and create a slim, healthy and fit new youone habit at a time.
