Six Steps to winning the Weight Battle
I just read an article called “6 Ways To Win The Weight Battle By Alexandra Gekas, Woman's Day Tue, May 10, 2011. It is one of the best articles I have read about healthy weight loss and weight management in a while.
I like the article because the author talks about practical common sense ways to losing weight and managing it. Simple things that works but most people takes for granted and don’t do.
The author addresses the six most important ways to use the mind-body connection to help your weight-loss efforts rather than hinder them. She addresses the mental, physical and emotional intelligence behind losing weight.
Her “6 Ways to Win The Weight Battle” are:
*** Start small and build slowly
*** Focus on fitness, not thinness
*** Accept that diets don’t help you in the long run
*** Concentrate on commitment more than intensity
*** Stop obsessing about your weight
*** Make friends with food
*** Start small and build slowly: An example of this could be to set a goal of maybe walking 3 blocks 3-4 times a week in a month.
Your 1st week on Monday and Wednesday you walk 1 block and on Friday you add ½ to 1 block. If possible walk with someone or a pet. If you’re in a relationship with someone, this is an excellent time to do some bonding. Go walk together and hold hands.
The 2nd week, Monday and Wednesday do the same amount you did last Friday. On Friday add another block if possible. Don’t overdo it though; we don’t want you to be in pain at the end of your walk.
For week 3 and 4, repeat the pattern from week one and two. At the end of week 4, if you’re successful, just repeat the whole goal over, this time extend the number of city blocks you want to walk.
Please stop by often as I’ll continue elaborating on the "6 Ways to Win The Weight Battle. Get the full article here on:
