More Than Weight Loss...

Recently, we’ve been talking about creating the proper environment in your kitchen so that you can increase the odds of your success while working to reach a healthy weight…you know…get rid of the junk and replace it with healthy food options.  I think that we can all agree that it is a wise thing to do.  I mean, if there aren’t any potato chips in your pantry you’re more likely to grab a healthy snack…if you get in the car, though, and go buy the potato chips, well…maybe you should hide the car keys!!!

Seriously though,  potato chips and healthy pantries aside, you have to reeeeally want to lose the weight.  There are no magic bullets out there, no matter what anyone says…to succeed, you’ve gotta wanna do it!

When you do come to that point where you’re ready to go…ready to commit to improving your health by reaching a healthy weight…it’s like an avalanche!!!  You become the avalanche and push all your hesitations and excuses down the mountain side and out of your way!  You are filled with energy and excitement about the prospect of a slim new you!  There is no stopping you!!!

Well, there are so many weight loss programs out there and they all promise the moon and back when it comes to results…you could easily become the “avalanche” for any number of diet plans that are out there right now.  They all sound great and you can’t wait to start…but as you decide which plan is right for you, be careful what you consider.

So, in light of all this, when considering a weight management plan, there is More Than Weight Loss…much more…much more that one needs to consider before embarking on any regimen.

When considering a weight management plan, one needs to consider how they will maintain their weight loss…that is sooo critical.  What does any given program have to offer you when it comes to making the transition to maintenance?  You can’t just lose the weight and then return to your old eating habits, but that is what most people do…because they aren’t given any support or education regarding maintenance.  Most programs just want you to lose weight, but aren’t interested in helping teach you how to keep it off.   The weight loss is just the first step in a lifelong journey of healthy habits that one must adopt to remain at that healthy weight. 

That’s where I come in…my next blog will outline how the program that I coach will change your life…forever.

Leave me a comment…love to hear from you!  Take care.
