With
answers to those questions in mind, form an action plan, and start a new daily record to help you keep track of your progress. This new record should contain
same columns as your initial current habits record. This way you can monitor each improvement and celebrate accordingly.
When deciding on which actions to take, you need to refer back to your initial assessment of your current eating habits. Decide which habits are preventing you from losing weight. Write down alternative habits that you want to cultivate, which will help you get slim.
These new habits you want to form are now your ‘targets' - milestones on your way to your ideal body shape and size.
Taking Action ============= To form healthy eating habits, start with small changes.
Don't make too many changes at once. Set yourself main targets, such as ‘I will drink 8 glasses of water each day', then set smaller targets to help you reach each main target.
Using
example above, a small target could be ‘I will drink an extra glass of water after each meal'. When you break down your targets, they don't seem so daunting. They seem easily achievable, so you feel encouraged to stick to them.
Decide on
foods you will be eating regularly. Make sure they're foods you enjoy.
Eat small portions, about 5 or 6 times each day, instead of three large meals. This helps keep your metabolic rate high, and helps you lose weight naturally.
How to stay motivated to continue eating healthily ==================================================
1.Believe that you can do it, and accept responsibility for your health and for
way your body looks.
2.Reward yourself each time you successfully complete a small target. Celebrate each small success - don't wait until you've lost tons of weight before you reward yourself. Make
journey enjoyable by treating yourself each time you make progress.
3.Keep in mind what you hope to achieve - remind yourself of how lovely and healthy your body is becoming each day as a result of your new eating habits. Remember, each small step in
right direction is bringing you closer to your main target.
With a clear goal in mind, a feasible action plan and tips to help you stay motivated, you should find it easy to form habits that keep you slim and healthy at
same time.
Here's to your new healthy eating habits!
