Educating Yourself to Understand What Your Body Needs‏

shutterstock_244407535Research was crucial with educating and developing myself with what my body needs in order to lose weight. I spoke to professionals, various nutritionists and a bariatric surgeon who taught me important facts about metabolism and how foods tend to increase it. My dietician was very helpful and informative with presenting multiple options to learn how to review food labels, and that has been instrumental with my weight loss.

It is equally important to pay attention to your own internal assessment of what works best for you. Self knowledge is the key to advancement. In my own experience, I discovered that I can not eat carbohydrates such as pasta, bread and candy, because it just makes me crave more. I also know that I am a person that likes to plan ahead. I buy prepared food at Whole Foods which is a big help. Everyone needs to formulate their own individualized plan which will attribute to great weight loss success!

Surrounding Yourself With Positive People

shutterstock_29913Be certain to think of the supportive and potentially supportive people in your life, because they are key to help keep you on track. For instance, a person who is positive, encouraging and supportive will take you and your weight loss program seriously. They will not encourage you to “cheat.” Looking back, some examples of unhealthy influences is a friend saying you look great when you know you don’t or someone complimenting you when you are at your heaviest and encouraging you to eat.

The quality and valuable support that I received was people taking there time out to talk with me, offer suggestions and being motivational. A healthy persons influence would want what is best for you. For me, special guidance from professionals and dieticians is especially important. WEIGHT CLIQUERS, do your best to select a healthy support system in your life. You have the ability to pick and choose the positive influences who are on your side of the team! You deserve to be a success! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day.

Southwest Pork, Israeli Salad and Heirloom Tomatoes

Looking for a healthy meal and weight-loss motivation? Look no further! I can not wait to share with you this fantastic meal and give you a dose of inspiration. There was such amazing and quality selection at Whole Foods Market this morning. I decided to pick southwest pork, Israeli salad and heirloom tomatoes. This marvelous trio combination makes a scrumptious meal. I want to keep raving about this! Seeing long-term progress will boost your motivation. Always remind yourself of ongoing goals that you are trying to accomplish. Losing weight can be very simple. Have fun while dropping weight. Get ready to jump-start your diet!?!

Southwest pork is the best. The ingredients include: pork, bread crumbs, bell pepper, green chili, pork sausage, taco seasonings, garlic, cumin, peach preserves, lime juice, ketchup, honey, white wine and bacon. Cutting calories is vital, but your mental outlook can mean the difference between success and failure. Little changes to your current eating style, like downsizing portions or preparing foods differently, can make a big difference!

The next featured side dish is Israeli salad. This dish includes: couscous, tomato, cucumber, green pepper, red pepper, parsley, green onion, honey olives, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar and black pepper. Try dividing your daily calories into six or seven mini meals so you always seem you can nibble on something you love- all day!

Heirloom tomatoes include basil, tomatoes, salt and pepper. Providing a diary can provide valuable insights into helping to overcome weight addiction. Once you start evaluating your eating triggers, you will be able to identify more effective ways to deal with underlying emotions. Keep in mind that committing to diet plan can present challenges. Definitely, altering your lifestyle can be handled easily if you are consistent, motivated and start by attaining small goals and milestones. GO FOR IT! NOW IS THE TIME TO GET MOVING!

WEIGHT CLIQUERS, turning negative thoughts into encouraging ones will propel you to keep losing until you finally reach your goal weight. If you make an un-healthy diet choice, admit that you made a mistake, move forward and don’t drown in a sea of judgmental thoughts. Reward yourself when you drop 10-15 pounds. Treat yourself to something that celebrates the particular goal you achieved. This will keep you continuously progressing. Wishing you a wonderful day!!! Enjoy your meal!!!

Getting Through Social Functions

shutterstock_106626869 I became more mindful that I am not going to change what I usually do when others are celebrating. I am extremely careful about attending social functions. I prepare a meal before going out, especially if I know there is going to be party food there so I don’t eat the wrong foods. I choose a healthy selection and if there isn’t a low calorie alternative, I select a beverage such as water, coffee or tea. Preparation is key. People often can show their love by offering their guests food. Appetizers are always the large part of the party yet are often high in calories. I enjoy socializing and do not focus on food. In my mind, I tell myself to be strong. I remind myself about all of the hard work and sacrifice involved with my weight loss.

In my case, if I make bad choices I can gain weight quickly and I try to avoid this at all cost. Consider bringing the party a low-calorie dish that you prepare so that your mind can feel at ease if there is not other healthy alternative food options. Another helpful tip before going to a party is to exercise before or after the party. Also, try chewing sugar-free gum to take your mind off of munching on the wrong type of grub. WEIGHT CLIQUERS, always be aware not to think of deprivation or restriction especially at a party. Always think of the many healthy food options or techniques available so you do not lose sight of your goals at the party! You are so much more than that!!!
