AdA Freight and PDE of $1 2007 Weight loss involves lifestyle change Thc term "diet" conjures up different images for different people. Whether you envision bowis of salad with no dressing, an endless supâ€" ply of cabbage soup, egg whites for breakfast or completely avoiding a sinâ€" gle food group such as carbohydrates, there is a common theme. Maintenance of weight loss is just as difficult as losing weight, thus going "off" a diet will ultimately result in regaining the lost weight. The cycling of weight up and down is not only harmful physically, but emotionally due to feelings of failure and discouragement. These are all means of selfâ€"depriva tion and suffering. Further, the term diet implies someâ€" thing that you go "on" or "off." Changing longâ€"term behaviour canâ€" not occur while a person is "on" a diet because being on a diet implies a short â€"term fix to a lifelong problem. Permanent lifestyle change, on the other hand, means simply modifying behaviours and creating new habits that are sustainable. This involves establishing new habits and working hard to make them part of dayâ€"toâ€"day life. Building skills and confidence Lifestyle change requires a system or plan along with the skills and confi dence to make the change happen. Skills enable you to make positive decisions with respect to your behavâ€" iour and confidence will prevent lapses in behaviour from turning into relapsâ€" Up to 75% OFF Storewide! Thinking positive about yourself and your abilities is one way to instill confidence. Group support is also effective for maintaining confidence and improving adherence to healthy habits. Setting unrealistic goals ultimately results in perceived personal failure despite a number of positive health benefits that may have occurred. Goals and expectations A common mistake is setting unre alistic weightâ€"loss goals. If your goal was to be active, eat healthy and fit into your favorite pair of bellâ€"bottomed jeans from high school, the latter is likely setting yourself up for failure. Despite losing a significant amount of weight and adopting a healthy W TS 6. lifestyle these constructive changes may be overlooked because your favorite pair of jeans still don‘t fit. Discouraged with your apparent failure you abandon your healthy habits without recognizing the wealth of health benefits that have occurred. Realistic goals and long â€"term results Slow and gradual weight loss may not sound as exciting as losing "30 pounds in 30 days," or as flashy as some fad diets but it is ultimately more effective. Losing more than four pounds per week of fat loss is physically impossiâ€" ble, so a steady weight loss of one to two pounds per week is a good goal to aim for. Longâ€"term goals are essential, but it is just as important to have short term goals. â€" â€" These goals should be SMART. Speâ€" cific, measurable, attainable, rewarding and timeâ€"oriented. Set your shortâ€"term goals accordingly and reward yourself for achieving them. Your shortâ€"term success will proâ€" vide you with the confidence to reach your longâ€"term goals and maintain your new healthy lifestyle in the future If you fail to lose more than 10 pounds $0 be it, but the 10 pounds that you did lose is a significant achieveâ€" ment. Incorporate goals that don‘t involve the scale and concentrate on the things that really matter. Track your feelings, mood, sleep patterns, energy levels and overall feelâ€" ings of health. ______ After all, how you feel is what really matters. Remember, those closest to you love you for who you are, no matter what you weigh. S _ Finally, think about what a reducâ€" tion of as little as 10 pounds would do for you physically and emotionally. _ You will find that these improve much quicker than the number on the bathroom scale.
