Top 10 Traits of Successful Losers!
I’ve worked with hundreds of people who were interested in
losing weight. Over the years I started to notice that the people who were
successful at losing weight and maintaining that loss, had several traits in
common. If your goal is to be successful at losing weight and keeping it off,
my suggestion would be to make these traits your own;
1. They make aerobic
exercise such as walking, jogging, or swimming part of their DAILY life. They
realize that DAILY activity is absolutely critical to their success. They are
committed to exercising just about every day for the rest of their lives. It’s
not a chore for them.
2. They either
naturally enjoy the exercise they do, or they make it enjoyable. For example,
many of them enjoy walking in the beautiful outdoors, or if they don’t, they
make it enjoyable by listening to music or taped books, exercising with a
friend, or perhaps by varying their route or the type of exercise they do.
3. They don’t smoke.
I have seen very few smokers who were successful at weight loss.
4. They are typically
early risers and get their exercise done first thing in the morning.
5. They don’t weigh
themselves every day.
6. They have an
incredible desire to lose weight and be healthy. But, they don’t just talk
about it - lots of folks do that. They actually walk the talk. They are willing
to do what it takes to get where they want to be. This gets them through the
tough times when they feel like giving up.
7. They don’t fall
for the latest fad diet and they are resolved to the fact that their weight
loss will take time. They’re not constantly looking for short cuts.
8. They realize that
their body functions best and is healthiest when it’s getting the naturally
healthy stuff - fruits, veggies, and whole grains. They concentrate on eating
these with very limited added fat and sugar.
9. They prepare most
of their own meals and usually bring their lunch to work.
10. They weight train
two to three days per week to maintain muscle tone and elevate their basal
metabolic rate.
11.(Bonus) They usually have a great big smile on their
face! They know that it may be very tough at times, but they also know that
they are slowly but surely reaching the goals they’ve worked for. That feels
great!
Go for it - YOU
can do it!
