Still Trying To Reach Your Weight Loss Goals? If you're still slowly working your way toward your diet and weight loss goal like I am, maybe it's time to pause and evaluate your progress. In one of my recent articles 5 Diet Health And Fitness Questions   I took a close look at some of the reasons for my overeating and I asked myself five very important questions that needed to be answered if I were to successfully achieve my weight loss goal. Why Do You Overeat? One of the questions that I asked myself was why do you overeat? After pondering this question for a few moments I came up with a few typical answers such as hunger, loneliness, boredom and stress and I left it at that. As time went on and my weight continued to fluctuate up and down, I began to examine my eating habits again and tried to see if perhaps I was missing something. Diet History and Culture I began to think back on my childhood and what my eating habits were like then. During th...

Problems Sticking To Your Diet? Like many people I sometimes have a hard time sticking to my diet. My intentions are good but it seems as though I can always come up with a reason or an excuse to revert back to my poor eating habits. In order to help myself stay on track I starting playing a little game called "Stick To Your Diet." Stick To Your Diet Game The game is really simple and all that is needed to play are one or two refrigerator magnets.  The magnets that I created for myself have motivational and inspirational diet tips on them to add that extra element of visualization and positive reinforcement. You can place the magnets on any metal surface but I have mine on the fridge since that's were the food is and the kitchen is where I am most likely to over-eat. Diet Game Rules The rules of my diet game are really simple. Each time that I go into the kitchen to get something to eat, I stop, l ook at the magnet, read it a...

Diet Success Tips To Get Unstuck We all get stuck sometimes when trying to achieve our diet and weight loss goals and I think that is why it is so important to have your diet, health and fitness goals in writing so you can refer back to them when you get stuck or discouraged. I've been working on my diet, or shall I say lifestyle change for about 7 months now. So far I've lost 20 pounds but now I seem to be stuck, my progress has come to a complete halt. Fortunately for me I'm maintaining and not gaining but I'm starting to get frustrated by the fact that I am unable to break through the lower limit of my weight loss goal. Write Down Your Diet Goals Luckily for me, I wrote down some thoughts about diet and weight loss in one of my recent articles and I can now refer back to that article and see if I can break through this barrier that seems to be holding me back. In my recent article 5 Diet Health And Fitness Questions   I took a close look at some of...

Weight Loss Goals While conducting a training session on Goal-Setting last week, one of the things that I asked the participants to do was write down a personal goal that they would like to accomplish in the upcoming year. Do you want to guess what the number one goal was at the completion of the exercise? That's right, lose weight! Without prompting or prior discussion, seventy-five percent of the participants indicated that their goal was to lose twenty to thirty-five pounds this year. This appears to be a common goal shared by many people and for obvious reasons. The benefits associated with maintaining your weight at the proper level are numerous. The improved health benefits and enhanced self-esteem alone are enough to make this a very desirable goal. Tired Of Being Overweight? If you're tired of being overweight and struggling constantly to shed those unwanted pounds then it's about time you made up your mind to take action and d...

My Diet Plan I am constantly looking for ways to refine my personal diet and weight loss program so that I can achieve the health and fitness goals that I have set for myself. With only a few minor changes in my lifestyle and paying closer attention to what I eat, I have actually managed to lose a few pounds over the past year. Not only did I lose 20 pounds but so far I have been able to keep the weight off. I have to admit that I am currently stuck within a 5 pound weight range so I need to figure out how to take it to the next level. Dieting vs Healthy Lifestyle Changes The reason that this weight loss is significant to me at least, is because I'm not really focused on diets or dieting. I have chosen instead to focus on making lifestyle changes that I can maintain for the rest of my life. I am not a diet, health and fitness professional by any stretch of the imagination. As a matter of fact, I am just a regular working professional who needs to lose weight. ...
