Trying to Loss Weight

 TRYING TO LOSS WEIGHT

 This Tips will help you to Loss Weight quickly


1. Change your diet one step at a time – You don’t want to do a drastic change to your diet because this can
have a negative impact on you losing weight effectively. Instead, you want to be sure that you change your diet
one step at a time.
Start by eating fresh fruits when you want a snack during the day. Once you are used to doing that you can start
adding small changes to your diet until you are finally eating a completely healthy diet that will benefit your weight
loss goals.
2. Weigh yourself – This is an important thing to do when changing your diet and losing weight because it will help
you keep track of how much weight you are losing. Plus it will help keep you motivated to get those numbers
down.
3. Tell everyone about your diet – This is important for two reasons. One being that if others know you are on a
diet they won’t pressure you to cheat. The other reason is because when others know you are trying to lose
weight, they may become your best support system.
4. Let yourself cheat – Maintaining a healthy diet all the time can be very hard to do and for some people it
becomes impossible. If you let yourself cheat once a week, you will have something to look forward to and it can
be your reward for eating healthy the rest of the time.
5. Exercise – Dieting alone is not enough to help you lose weight. You also need to do some moderate exercising
at least two or three times a week. This will get your metabolism working and help your body burn fat so you can
achieve your weight loss goals.
6. Eat more – This may sound strange, but it is important. You want to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day, instead of
three big ones because this will help you to keep your metabolism working throughout the day.
7. Drink plenty of water – When you are trying to lose weight you need to drink plenty of water so you don’t
become dehydrated. Also your body may lose water when you are trying to lose weight so drinking plenty of it will
help prevent this from happening.
These diet tips will help anyone lose weight safely and effectively. You just need to start using them today and
before you know it you will find that the weight you want to lose is finally starting to disappear.

0-8
You have a strong self-esteem that is capable of withstanding quite a lot of change and helps you feel in control of your life. Keep trusting your intuition and continue feeling good about yourself
9-15
You have a moderate self-esteem that has taken some knocks but from which you have probably coped pretty well. If you are conscious of the knocks, try and identify the areas of your life that have contributed to this. Attempt to tackle your thoughts about them. Try and let go of outdates opinions of yourself and inaccurate images that feed your self-talk
16-30
A score in this range suggests you have a number of concerns about yourself and or your life. These concerns are likely to feed a negative self-image and could upset your chances of feeling successful or positive about yourself. It is important to recognise which aspects of your life you’re unhappy with and decide to tackle one aspect of something in order to put you back in control. It may also make you determined to change. Go to the link for the article on self-esteem if you’d like to know more and also the recommended book list, which might help.
