How To Improve Chances to Lose Weight & Keep it Off

Most women focus on their eating as the main cause of their weight issues. 

That is true, when it comes to eating more then your body needs, but that won’t be helpful if you are trying to make a long term change. 

Your eating is directly related to: 

  • how you have been brought up
  • what was the conversation you heard about food while growing up
  • to your first memory around food, at the table in your own home
  • experiences related to your eating – judgment, criticism, comments related about your body
  • have you been given food as a reward
  • comments about your eating and about the outcome
  • creating opinion about food listening, reading, watching others
  • what food means, represents to you
  • what you feel while thinking about food and while eating
  • why you eat certain foods
  • what is the driver for you restrict the food groups
  • how you learned to react to stress & emotions 

It is very important to address all these connections, for you to be able to do something about your eating. 

If you push under the carpet your challenging relationship with food and your behaviours around food that you find disappointing or unhealthy, you will be spinning in circles. 

Until you become aware of what is happening and you put your head up, nothing will change and fortunately, you are the only one who can do that. 

So how you can lose weight and keep it off?

  • Focus on long term reward, rather than instant gratification
  • Focus on bigger picture, of how much your life can be positively affected if you change what you do and how you feel every day
  • Losing weight as a goal is exciting, but not as exciting to what you will gain for feeling full of energy, stronger, fitter, better mood etc. 
  • Change your approach from all or nothing, to long term learning
  • what gets you results, you will have to keep doing those little things to keep those results
  • it is about your daily habit and behaviour change for long term success and reward
  • create a routine that serves you well
  • implement self care every day
  • sleep 7-9 hours every night
  • move your body daily
  • spend time outdoors
  • self reflect your thoughts and emotions
  • keep learning
  • spend less time browsing 
  • be kind to yourself
  • Energy balance – once you understand this, your life will never be the same
  • for you to lose body fat, you have to be in a negative energy balance
  • all you need to do is to manage your food intake & manage your energy expenditure
  • If you struggle managing your food intake due to poor relationship with food, there will be no diet that can resolve this for you. You have to learn and be guided to overcome this challenge
  • Track for few months everything you consume and see how much calories you are consuming daily
  • if you look tracking as something that stresses you out, you still have to count money you have to not go in overdraft? Food is the same
  • sleep 7-9 hours every night
  • walk every day
  • eat protein with at least 2 meals per day
  • eat vegetables at least one big bowl a day
  • drink fluids
  • manage stress through walking, exercise, meditation, journaling
  • plan ahead! 
  • do a meal prep or use meal prep companies
  • do online food shop
  • buy for home only what you need

5 Tips To Change Your Mindset

Do you struggle to stay consistent to achieve your goals? 

Do you feel you are lacking motivation to get yourself on your health and fitness journey? 

Are you constantly stopping and starting with new diets, training programs and you can’t get yourself going when you lose the momentum? 

I just want to tell you that there is nothing wrong with you. 

But you might be having the mindset that is not helping you.

What is a mindset?

Your mindset is a set of beliefs that shape how you make sense of the world and yourself. It influences how you think, feel, and behave in any given situation.

5 Tips to Change Your Mindset

1. Be willing to learn.

When you open your arms to learning, you are opening your mind to new life lessons, and you very soon see that everything can change. From feeling trapped, you learn how to be free. So I would encourage you to seek the answers you have. Is that how to overcome depression, how to live guilt free life, how to lose weight forever, whatever your mind is telling you, it is telling you to become curious to find out HOW. And I can tell you that life becomes exciting when you start finding out the answers you have been looking for, for a long time. 

2. Embrace progress and ditch perfection.

There is nothing worse than chasing a perfection. Deeply ingrained feeling of unworthiness comes through seeking perfection that doesn’t even exist. So it is good to be reminded to become present and to celebrate every progress you make, because with progress you move forward, you learn and grow. 

3. Gratitude journal.

Start your day with spending time to write about things you are grateful for. Writing down will increase the awareness and bring you the feelings of gratitude. If you are struggling to connect with feeling grateful, just imagine how it would feel like if you lose everything you have. I know it sounds horrible, but very often when we lose something we love dearly, we have huge regrets. 

4. Dive into meditation.

Meditation is life changing. It allows you to take a break from a racing mind, busy life and schedule and allows you to sit, breathe and let it all go. I have been a huge sceptic, but since I started doing it, I feel peace and now I am drawn to it to find myself just allowing it all thoughts and emotions to come and go. 

5. Fall in love in mistakes and failures.

We all see making mistakes as something that tells others about us, that we are not good enough but in reality by making mistakes, we all learn and get better at it. So I would encourage you to see mistakes as important lessons, to see what is working and what isn’t, because when you keep trying, you will learn and change the approach to get you towards your goal. 

Changing the mindset is the key for long term habit and behaviour change. Because how we filter information, if we look at it from the judgment and criticism, we will get stuck in the negative way we see and feel our actions, but if we start changing the way we question our actions and see what we can learn from that experience, we start having different answers. 

Let me know in the comments below are you getting closer to your goal and what do you think it is stopping you if you don’t? 

Stay strong and keep on working on yourself. 

Your goal is 100% achievable!
