Here are the 5 to do things before you plan to start a weight loss session
Plan - Many people start their weight loss program without a proper plan. Always remember those who plan never fail and those who fail had never planned. So take a pen & paper or prepare an excel chalking out a plan of what needs to be achieved and in what time. Your plan may include steps like diet plan, food intake, calories burnt and keep a close watch on this daily to check what has been achieved and whether one is adhering to the plan or not. One can even have labels set at various places reminding of the to do things.
Eat right - Let the weight lossinitiative start from the kitchen and all the way to your eating habits. Throw out all junk foods, processed foods and other high fat foods. Learn to sayNo to people when they force you to eat those pizzas with cheese and other items that may hamper your plan. So eat right and be healthy.
Set realistic goals - Do not get carried away by setting a goal that is not achievable like losing 50 pounds in a week. Set goals as per your comfort level and make sure that those are realistic. Always remember go slow as one might have heard of the story of the hare and turtle where turtle wins the race. So make small plans and as you keep on achieving it then set medium to bigger goals.
Get support - Once you have decided to join a weight loss program or practice by yourself at home just let it out and make it public. This will help in people making note of it and help you achieve your goals. This might also help in others giving some useful tips that might be useful not always.
Have faith - After all is done and set have faith in yourself and make up your mind that it is achievable. As there will be people who will taunt you and let you down. Do not ever get bogged down and always keep your end goal in mind as that of a footballer whose ultimate aim is to make a goal no matter if the entire team is standing in front of the goal post.
