So I found this article I wanted to share...it's titled "100 Tips one How to Lose Weight Fast." Although I don't think it's safe to lose weight fast (because you'll gain it back), I do think that these tips make a lot of sense!
What are your favorite tips? http://www.dietminded.com/100-tips-on-how-to-lose-weight-fast/
Here are mine:
8. "Incorporate Tips Slowly" - I've made this mistake so learn from me: don't try to change your life overnight. It's not going to happen, and if it does, then it's going to stop soon. Pick a tip, stick with it, and when you feel comfortable, pick another one and add to that your original plan. Slowly but surely, you shall reach your goal!!
10. "Shop on a Full Stomach" - Doesn't this just make so much sense?! If I'm craving chocolate and I'm shopping, I'm more likely to buy junk food or even grab a candy bar at the checkout counter! Why let myself do that when I can fulfill my craving first and then go shopping?! :)
26. "Season Foods" - I feel much more satisfied with any meal if it has a ton of flavor! I love adding garlic, taco seasoning and paprika to pretty much anything :) And it's all low in calories!
33. "Plan a Cook-a-Thon" - I am a huge fan of cooking extra food and saving it for the next few days. (Maybe it's cause I'm lazy!) But realistically, it simply makes sense! There's no way I can take out so much time cooking every single day...why not just keep it ready?!
84. "Step Away From the Couch" - I always promote working out during commercials! It's a great iday :)
85. "Dance, Dance, Dance!" - Uhhh one question: why wouldn't you?! If I wasn't injured, this is how I would be changing my life right now!! Dancing is fun even if you suck at it!
90. "Weight Once a Week" - Hahh...get it? But seriously, I know I'm a terrible example of this but I truly do believe you should only check your weight once a week. Why? A fluctuation going down is GREAT motivation, but the day it goes up a little bit...you won't be feeling so great and might get discouraged!
94. "Post It!" - Do you have an addiction to post-it notes or index cards? Then leave inspirational messages around the house for you to see! Have more closer to the junk drawer and fridge!! :) They might help you!
97. "Celebrate Success" - To my cousin reading this...when I reach 160, we are getting a mani/pedi! When I read 150, we are going to get some awesome massages!! :) We'll decide the rest later! Any other ideas? Where do you want to go when we reach our goals? [Alsooo...this is obvious but just saying: don't celebrate by going out for a HUGE meal at Olive Garden or something like that. You can eat, but stay healthy!]
99. "If You Fall Off The Bandwagon" - Get right back on! This was the hardest for me before...but I'm learning that each day is a new day. That doesn't mean I can cheat every day and start again tomorrow. It means if I didn't do great yesterday, I can do better today. The past doesn't determine my future!
