It may sound silly but eating out of boredom and not a lack of actual food – is one of the primary causes of weight gain. Though it may seem as though this is an easy problem to overcome, it doesn’t take much to find yourself looking for something in the pantry, or staring into the fridge, without even knowing exactly how you came to be there.
Even though I’m a social person, weight loss support groups have never been all that important to me. I’ve always been inclined to take on my diets on my own. I have some great friends and family who are, for the most part, supportive of the things I try to do for myself. That said, while we’ve been ordered to shelter in place, things have changed.
Eating healthy foods is a key component of any successful weight loss diet, but have you ever noticed that the healthier the contents of your shopping cart, the higher the total on the cash register can be? That doesn’t need to be the case. Dieting on a budget is possible.
You’ve likely heard that it is not a good idea to continue weighing yourself every day when you want to lose weight. That said, did you know that the number of times that you step on the scale every month can actually have a direct impact on the number of pounds you will lose during that time?
When you begin a new diet, it can feel as though you’re going out on a blind date. You are hoping for the best, you’ve got a few reservations, and even though you may have been told a great deal about what to expect, you really won’t know what it’s all about until you begin.
The reason is that when you start a new lifestyle, it can feel as though you are beginning a new relationship. The difference is that instead of starting that relationship with someone else, you’re starting it with yourself.
