Does it feel tough to lose weight, as if it is an impossible task? Have you unsuccessfully tried to lose weight in the past or lost the weight only to put it back on? Revive Medical Center knows how frustrating all of this can be, we want to assure you that you can lose weight and keep it off. You need the right plan and the knowledge to prevent yourself from sabotaging your weight-loss program. We can help you with both. Here are four reasons why losing weight might seem as if it is an impossible task.
1. Your Goals Are Not Defined
If your only goal is to “lose weight,” that goal is too vague. Having this vague goal could be the reason why you’ve failed in your weight loss attempts in the past, too. Setting up both long-term and short-term goals that are concrete and that you can plan for really helps you to see where you want to be and what you need to do to get there. Your short-term goals need to be ones that help you experience success quickly so you’ve got the momentum to build on.
2. You’re Under a Lot of Stress
Stress seriously impedes your body’s ability to shed unwanted weight. If you’re under a lot of stress, you may want to make stress management techniques a larger part of your overall plan for wellness. This can help you to get into the right state of mind to make a lot more consistent progress toward your weight-loss goals. The most common way stress and weight are linked is two-fold: Your body produces more weight-gaining cortisol and most people eat their stress away.
3. You’re Trying to Be Perfect
This might sound odd, but your past failures with weight loss are your strengths now. You know what didn’t work in the past, and you’re able to make changes now based on the information you’ve got. Plus, you’re human. You’re going to make mistakes. If you are planning to approach losing weight “perfectly,” that’s not going to help you. Make friends with the failures, and they’ll teach you lessons. Accept the failures, as well, and move on and away from them.
4. You Don’t Have a Lot of Time or Energy for Complicated Plans
So many people find that they want to make changes to their wellness routines and they want to lose weight, but there’s not a lot of extra energy or time to devote to complicated weight-loss plans. With the right solutions in place, you may not have to worry about how much time is involved and, as you start to lose weight, the energy problem resolves itself. You’ll feel better and, as a result, make better choices for you and your weight loss goals.
