Taking the first step towards losing weight is always difficult. Most often, the solution - from tomorrow I'm on a diet - melts with the first rays of the sun. Why is this happening? Most likely, due to the fact that the person who wants to get in shape is not psychologically tuned in to lose weight, and he lacks motivation. There is another factor in how important the correct psychological attitude is - dieting in this case is much easier, there are less breakdowns and there is no bad mood. How to properly tune in to lose weight psychologically? There are several simple rules for this.
Instructions
Step 1
First, be clear about the goal that you will get closer to with weight loss. All of you probably know cases when actors rapidly lost 10-20 kg for a role in a movie. It is easy enough for them to lose weight in this case, the presence of a goal and the right psychological attitude helps. In your case, the goal may be a prestigious job, meeting a nice person you like, or just being able to wear beautiful, sexy things. Be sure to keep in mind that your goal must be realistic and achievable. Here is an example of the right one, which will effectively help you tune in to weight loss: "I will lose weight and can sunbathe on the beach and swim without hesitation." However, if you set yourself the task of losing weight and getting married, then most likely you will be disappointed, because marriage has little to do with weight loss.
Step 2
Second, compare how important it is to you what you lose during the diet and what you get in return. If losing weight will help you in your career or make your life more diverse, then losing weight is undoubtedly worth it. But if you expect that your built figure will bring peace in the family or respect in the company of friends, then this is unlikely. So be sure to weigh all the "pros" and "cons" and make a decision - whether you should lose weight.
Step 3
The third point is to consider whether you can diet in relation to your lifestyle. If your work is connected with frequent trips, meetings with partners in cafes, banquets, then you, most likely, will not be able to observe a special diet. In this case, you will break loose, and this will bring another disappointment. The way out in this situation is to find a diet that you can follow in any case, as well as give up frequent gatherings with friends in cafes and going to lunch with your parents.
Step 4
The next step for an effective weight loss mindset is making menus and eating schedules. If you have chosen a specific diet, then purchase all the products for it. And nothing more - do not create temptations for yourself! If you decide to limit calories, carefully study each package of products, count calories and write down your diet in a special notebook. In case you are just going to limit yourself in food, every day determine in advance what and in what quantities you will eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And, of course, strictly adhere to the chosen regime.
Step 5
And the last moment. If you decide to lose weight, then start here and now, not tomorrow and Monday. Tell yourself "I must" and "I can", and let this become your motto for the near future.
