6. Make a habit out of exercise and healthy eating
Try to hang on to your healthy habits. Of course it happens that you don’t want to go exercising or that you eat a piece of cake instead of a salad. Every now and then that is fine, but it is important to stay structured. When you skip working out for a couple of days, it is even more difficult to start again. Therefore try and keep things structured.
7. Plan ahead
Whether you’re going on a holiday or you’re having a weekend filled with dinners and parties, make sure that you plan your meals and workouts. Do you find it difficult not to snack when you’re at a party? Bring something healthy yourself. Moreover, it is wise to prepare some meals ahead of time on a Sunday so you won’t make any unhealthy decisions during the week.
8. Set yourself goals and celebrate achieving them
Setting yourself goals is really important. For example, set yourself the goal of running a few kilometres during the coming week or losing a kilo by the end of next week. It is also important to celebrate the goals once you’ve achieved them! Buy something nice for yourself or plan a nice activity. When you stop and think about your achievements, you will stay motivated.
9. Bounce back
Maybe you could not motivate yourself to go to the gym or maybe you ate a whole packet of chocolate biscuits in one go during a weak moment. Don’t let it discourage you! One mistake is not a disaster. You can bounce back and continue where you left things.
10. Stay motivated
This may be the most important tip of all: stay motivated. Remember why you do it. Remind yourself of the reason why you wanted to lose weight every time you have a setback and keep going!
