Weight Loss Tip #5 – Embrace Change

Most people are fearful of making a commitment to a new diet and exercise routine because it is easier to stay with what you know and what makes you comfortable.  You would rather be a little heavy or sedentary as it gives you a way of keeping your expectations low and keep you limited in what you can achieve.  Make the changes small enough so they aren’t uncomfortable and set a specific timeline to do them (let’s say 3 weeks) and if after that time you really can’t stand the change, go back to your old ways.  But, if you can handle the change, keep the new habit and try something else.  Soon you will be making bigger changes that can substantially improve your success of achieving and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
