Mind Over Weight - Susan Kersley
1.You know you are overweight.
You plan to go on another diet or eating plan to lose some of your excess weight once and for all.
There is no secret formula. There is, however, a simple way to become healthier and lose your excess weight, though you might find this difficult to accept.
You must eat less and exercise more! It's a matter of arithmetic. If you are bigger than you want to be then this balance needs to be changed.
It is said you eat with your eyes, so you can fool yourself into believing you are eating more by using a smaller plate or piling your plate high with low calorie, high bulk foods such as vegetables and salad. You will lose weight when you eat more fruit and vegetables and less high calorie food.
Strike a balance between how healthy a food is against how many calories it has. For example, an avocado is a very healthy choice. It has good fat and plenty of vitamin E - but it has a lot of calories.
In contrast you might know that several spoons of sweet jam have less calories than half an avocado. Nutritionally that contains a large quantity of sugar so is not as beneficial for your health as an avocado.
Nuts such as walnuts or almonds are good for you. They contain healthy fat but are high in calories. However, it is good for your health to have a handful each day.
A way to lose weight is to write down everything you eat during the day. This enables you to discover ways to eat less. The act of recording what you eat helps you change your eating habits by making you aware of ways to change your food and lose your excess weight.
You know you are overweight when your clothes are uncomfortably tight, and you find yourself tugging and adjusting them throughout the day.
Physical activities or everyday tasks that used to be easy now leave you feeling exhausted and out of breath.
People make comments about your weight, which can be hurtful and damage your self-esteem.
You struggle to find clothes that fit or flatter and shop in plus-size stores.
You have trouble seeing or reaching some parts of your body. Tying your shoes or reaching your back when showering is difficult.
Activities such as walking up a flight of stairs or going for a brisk walk are challenging and leave you feeling sore or in pain.
Your doctor expresses concern about your weight and recommends that you lose some weight to reduce your health risks.
You avoid social events or activities because you feel self-conscious about your appearance and worry about how others see you.
Your energy levels are consistently low, and you find yourself relying on unhealthy foods or caffeine to keep you going throughout the day.
You notice changes in your body, such as stretch marks, joint pain, or difficulty sleeping, which may be a result of your excess weight.
Being overweight is not an indicator of your worth as an individual. Whatever your weight, focus on having a healthy lifestyle and loving yourself whatever your weight.
But what to do? You may decide to go on a diet or follow an eating plan to lose some of your excess weight.
There are many confusing plans all persuading you that theirs is the only way to become slim and healthy. But there is no magic formula. Restrictive diets don’t work in the long term.
Even if you believe that you eat healthily, you may be eating too much. You could reduce the size of your portions or decide not to have a second helping. It is said you eat with your eyes, fool yourself by using a smaller dish or piling your plate high with low-calorie, high-bulk foods such as vegetables and salad.
Track everything you eat during the day. This enables you to discover ways to eat less. The act of recording what you eat may help you change your eating habits and as a result, lose some of your excess weight.
2. What's stopping you?
There may be several factors that prevent you from losing weight effectively. Here are some you might be facing:
A diet that is high in processed and unhealthy foods can make it difficult to lose weight. It's important to consume a balanced and nutritious diet that includes fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, whole grains, and healthy fats.
Regular exercise is important for weight loss since it helps to burn calories and increase metabolism. If you have a sedentary lifestyle or don't engage in regular physical activity, it can delay your weight loss
Turning to food for comfort to cope with emotions can damage your weight loss efforts. Emotional eating often involves consuming high-calorie, unhealthy foods, which lead to weight gain rather than loss.
A consistent approach to weight loss is essential. If you frequently start and stop diet or exercise plans, it becomes challenging to make progress. Maintaining consistency over time is key for successful weight loss.
Certain medical conditions such as hypothyroidism, polycystic ovary syndrome, or hormonal imbalances can make it harder to lose weight. If you suspect a medical condition is delaying your progress, consult your doctor.
A strong support system can be valuable for weight loss. If you don't have the necessary support from friends, family, or a weight loss community, it can be more challenging to stay motivated and committed to your goals.
Lack of sleep can affect hormones related to hunger and fullness, leading to overeating. Additionally, sleep deprivation can
