Keeping
Weight Loss Resolutions
Each
New Year's day thousands of people make weight loss resolutions.
This is amongst the top resolutions made each new year and 2010 will be no different.
The New Year's Eve parties are over, the holiday shopping and
eating are done and you've decided it's time to shed a few pounds and
created a resolution.
The first week you were right on track, eating healthy foods, drinking
your water and you even dusted off the treadmill. The second
week went well also but you skipped a day of exercising - no big deal.
The third week you were starting to grab a potato chip or
maybe you were craving some french fries or chocolate. Now
your into the fourth week and you are losing all motivation, have
forgotten about your resolution or you just don't think you are losing
weight fast enough.
If this sounds familiar, don't panic. This is a common
phenomenon that happens to many people. But just because this
happens to many people, don't give up hope on your weight loss
resolution. Try these tips to keep you on track and help you
reach your goal to lose weight.

your Weight Loss Resolution Tip #1
Break your bigger weight loss goal into smaller goals. This
way you can see progress as you go and keep your motivation to reaching
your resolution. These goals can be in terms of losing pounds or
inches, dress sizes or even habits changed.
Keeping
your Weight Loss Resolution Tip #2
Write it down and post it anywhere and everywhere. Perhaps
when you made your New Year's resolution you wrote them down.
Nows the time to write it down again in big bold letters that
you will see each day. Repetition is the key to helping keep
your resolve going. Read these notes each and every day to
remind yourself of your resolution to lose weight.

Keeping
your Weight Loss Resolution Tip #3
Reward yourself along the way. Remember you don’t have to
reach your weight loss goals overnight. So as you lose a few
pounds or inches, or even if you had a successful week eating healthy
and exercising, give yourself a pat on the back and buy something
new.
Try to stay away from rewarding yourself with food. You don’t
want to get in the habit of treating yourself with the wrong foods as
this may lead to unwanted pounds or slowing down your goal.
Keeping
your Resolution Tip #4
Track how you are doing. In addition to re-writing your
weight loss goal, tracking your progress is another way to stay
constantly reminded of your resolution. So grab a pen and
paper and track your progress weekly. Your tracking tool
doesn’t have to be anything fancy, but if you want something more
electronic, use this weight loss tracking chart.
Keeping
your Weight Loss Resolution Tip #5
Try again and again and again. Like the old saying goes, if
at first you don't succeed......you know the rest. Don't beat
yourself up if you stopped your diet or exercise routine.
Just make a new resolution and start again. January
1st is not the only day to make goals and resolution. So if
it's May and you want to get back on track, start over again - make
your resolution - and start losing weight.
Here are additional tips to keep your weight loss resolutions.
