Weight Loss Rules
For the last several months I've been trying to lose weight and it has not been going well. I think I have found a partial solution to the problem and that is how I have created this weight loss rule list for myself. The rules are as follows:
- Stop comparing myself to others. My fitness and strength level may not be like theirs but I will get there with time.
- Stop obsessing over the number on the scale. My clothes are feeling loose but the number isn't changing and it discourages me. From now on I will weight myself on the first and last day of the month.
- Watch my sugar intake. I'm addicted to Dunkin and Starbucks coffee but that crap has to stop. Also stop drinking my calories!
- Progress and results take time. I was doing workouts and eating fairly clean and would give up after a week because I didn't see drastic results. This weight wasn't gained over night and it will not go away over night either.
- Stay away from those who are negative about me making healthier choices.
- Focus on my health and fitness goals.
- Move more. Usually after work I eat dinner, shower and go to bed. I need to start a new routine including exercise and stick to it. For now, my goal is to be active for a minimum of 30 minutes 3 times a week. I hope to gradually build up.
