5 - And follow it through the end :
The thing that will
help you to lose weight, and will also help you to keep the weight off,
is if you follow the plan through to the very end with your decision to
lose weight.
In other words if you have set yourself a target weight, then stick to it. Follow through to the end, and don't give up.
If
you have been reading through the earlier sections, or if you have gone
down this route before, then you know how much easier it is to start
yourself on a weight loss regime than it is to continue on with it.
And
you will also probably know how much easier it is to follow through on
such a course if you give yourself a little nudge, than it is to see it
through to completion.
Many of us, even if we do manage
to successfully drag ourselves through our weight loss routine day
after day, will find that it is harder to stay on track as time goes by
and your goal comes ever closer.
In my case most of the time, even when I followed through to nearly the end, I found myself losing the will to continue.
This
was mainly due to the fact that I was not as committed in the beginning
as I could have been which in turn meant that I was only staying the
course because I was forcing myself to do so, and not because I really
wanted to.
And this meant that when the going got tough, I got going - in the opposite direction most times!
Since
it was difficult enough to stay the course when things were happening
normally in my life, it was near on impossible to stay the course when
things went even slightly out of sync.
The end result? I
would always, always find some way, some little loophole to exploit
which would necessitate my going off my weight loss regime.
So
to see you through to your weight loss target, you need to follow
through, and make a conscious decision that you will see it through to
the end. But you also need to have that commitment to yourself and to
your goal that you will see it through to the end.
And
really, it is only when you want to do this, when you have the
commitment to stick with it come hell or high water, that you will find
that you not only lose the weight, but you find that you also keep it
off.
