How To Stay Focused On Your Lose Weight Program

Staying focused and seeing some project through to the end has always been a challenge for me. I’m definitely a starter, but when it comes down to it I often get distracted and walk away from any number of half finished projects. But when it came to losing the weight I needed, I got serious and in the end I think I won the battle. So for those of you still putting up the good fight here are a few of the things that helped to keep me focused.


1.    I used a weekly meal planner. This was fantastic because once my meals were worked out I didn’t ever have that horrible rush to find something to eat when the day went pair shaped. I can guarantee that any other time this happens the meals are never nutritious.

2.    I suddenly had a shift of mindset. I stopped worrying about what I looked like, and started focusing on becoming a healthier person. So instead of thinking when I was eating “Is this going to help me get thinner?” I saw and knew that, eating that apple would help improve my health. This was really quite a big step for me and I’m sure it contributed to helping me achieve my target weight.

3.    I cleaned out the fridge and cupboard before I started my lose weight program. Really I tossed out so much food it was quite embarrassing, not to mention a waste of money. But without those easy snacks at hand, staying good and focused wasn’t too hard. The trick then of course is not to buy anymore of what you just threw out, yes even on a bad day!

4.    I stuck up some notes around the house. I wrote out all sorts of things like. “You’re doing great!” and “Come on another pound off today” “Have you done your exercises yet?” I’d see them all the time and they really made me smile and feel happy within myself.

5.    I have these favorite jeans (which I’m wearing now buy the way) that I displayed in the dining room. Just another reminder to keep my eye on the prize.

So that’s it, so I hope you’ve found something here to help keep you focused on your lose weight program. It really is important to keep encouraging each other to get back to our healthy selves don’t you think. It is my hope that this encourages you to lose some pounds, and then your success encourages someone else to lose weight. Then just perhaps we’ll be able to lower that horrible percentage that states 65% of all Americans are overweight. I have faith, so anyway get writing those notes to post about the house, you’ll do great!
