To lose and maintain weight you have to change your eating, activity and thinking habits. Basically you have to eat less, eat smarter, drink more water and move more. And you have to give yourself a break. In essence, you must adjust your attitude or relationship towards food. So as you get ready to fulfill your New Years resolution, when it comes to losing weight, it is suggested that you make a resolution to also improve your attitude about yourself, to increase your activity or exercise through the year, and to work on changing your eating habits. Also, include in that resolution to get a good nights rest each and every night. But do not sabotage yourself by making a resolution to diet for three months to take off 50+ pounds with the idea that after you reach that goal, its over.
Weight maintenance is a way of life and it becomes more and more important the older you get. Just as you have to keep your mind active to maintain your mental abilities, so too you have to keep your body active to maintain your health, strength, movement, and weight. Remember, this is a process, be patient and enjoy the ride.
