Loosing weight is possible but how to keep away
from those long lost pounds is still a query. When you start loosing
weight, it tends to become easier initially. Once your metabolism boosts
up you start loosing weight. But then gradually time comes when loosing
more weight becomes difficult. Even if you have some how managed to
loose up to the desired target, there still remains a chance to get
it back. It is related to too many factors. With the passage of time
and with experience you'll know what factors affect you most but right
now for your ease I'm summing up few things you need to know and have
to do if you want to stay slim and smart.
1. Stick to your weight loosing factors:
It is very important to keep that routine in your life, which made
you loose weight. The problem starts when you loose weight, achieve
the target and just relax. Achieving your goal never means that you
are allowed to do what you did in past. If you do so you will gain
weight faster this time and may be more than you had before. The purpose
of the diet and physical routine was to build a regular routine for
you which you are going to follow in future. I'm not saying that you
can not stop this tough routine, ever in your life. Now you can eat
whatever you want BUT in certain amount and at certain time. Try to
stick to your diet plan but do eat in between, enjoy parties go to
restaurants but not regularly. Keep a limit to it. Similarly keep
your physical activities. But now you can reduce the time and duration.
For example if you used to have exercises 5 times a week, now you
can do it three times a week.
2. Check your weight on regular basis:
It is very necessary to have a weight scale. Buy your own bathroom
scale and keep it in a place where you can see it on a regular basis.
Keep it in your bedroom, bathroom, dressing room, lounge, and kitchen
or at your work place. Do not forget to weight yourself everyday.
Do it in the evening or before going to bed. That is the time when
you weigh your maximum. In the mornings your weight is always reduced,
which gives you a false idea that you've lost weight and consequently
you eat more that day. Checking on a regular basis keeps your body
in shape. Because it is easier for anyone to loose a pound or two
but it becomes dreadful when you have to loose in stones.
3. Keep your medical checkups updated:
Get your routine medical checkups and don't forget to check for
all those things that tend to increase weight. Food allergies, thyroid
problems, hormonal imbalances, stress, water retention, growth of
any abnormal mass in body, lack of necessary nutrients and certain
heart diseases. There are few physiological factors that increase
your weight but they are not alarming as they reverse with passage
of time. Pregnancy and Pre Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) are the most common
examples. In pregnancy off course the weight of the baby is added
along with the weight of placenta and intra uterine structures. Whereas
in PMS there is water retention due to hormonal imbalance. But it
soon relieves as soon as bleeding starts.
4. Stick to your size:
Try your level best to stick to your size. Whether you are size
6, 8 or 10, glue to it. If you buy a dress of your size and you think
it is tight or uncomfortable at a place or two. Don't do alterations
to the dress, do alterations in your own self. Trim your body. Loose
some pounds to fit into it. Believe me if you'll get the habit of
getting alterations, you'll keep on gaining weight in a disguised
manner.
5. Ask your spouse or friends to help you:
It is very important to let know the people around you that how
difficult it was to loose those pounds. This will help you a lot.
Your friends and your spouse will appreciate you for that which will
enhance your self control. Moreover they will be reluctant to offer
you something to eat that is not healthy for you. One more thing is
that ask them to tell you honestly if they think you are looking plump
or fat.
I hope these tips and facts will help you get going well through
the rest of your life. Good luck for your fat free life.
