What Is The Optimum Time To Go On A Diet?

Dropping a dress size, much like a big night out, tends to
be one of those things we like to don't rush. For ages we
are saying that we are going to reduce your waist. Perhaps
you gulp down your final chunk of chocolate cake and you
count down to the time you will begin your weight loss.

You have to focus yourself so you can beat the pain heading
in your direction. Commitment is what is required and you
will be requiring all the assistance you can in order to
drop a few pounds.

Eventually the big day arrives - you begin your exercise
plan - yet almost immediately you've had enough again. All
that planning for so little an increase in fitness.

What gives?

The solution , you might have guessed, is that a certain
something got your attention. Something you see as being
more important than your health. Maybe it was a meal out or
a school reunion and it's as though you never started.

Lots of individuals will try to time the beginning of an
exercise program to get around situations where temptations
such as this could arise. People aim to begin an diet
regime in conjunction with a relation or over a vacation
period to try and make it easier for them. The evidence
would suggest it's a great idea, for most people it's a
long way from the truth.

The reason for this is an easy one - you may behave
yourself for a while but when one of the multitude of
hurdles you face each day crops up, you're not prepared to
deal with it and so we use it an an excuse to go back to
eating junk and quitting running (or both).

Far more use on day one of your diet to have a slight set
back, and then to keep fighting. These ocassional set backs
will surely help to get you ready and get you used to
coping with the crap you will experience and means you can
make it through the winter an even more focused dieter.

Relish the hiccups as a challenge. Feel the pride of each
one you beat and you will grow ever more of a winner. All
of a sudden you'll find hiccups have become positive things
not things to be fearful of.

And here's a further surprising point to making a success
of weight loss - and one that I have only just experienced
for myself by mistake.

Consider how many diets or exercise programs have you
started and stopped during your life? How many times have
you given up? When you gave up, besides feeling a tiny bit
depressed for a while what happened? Not very much. Your
hunsband or wife didn't start ignoring you. You company
didn't close down. The sun still rose the next day.

In other words you're used to quitting, and you're aware
that nothing nasty will happen .

But what if it did happen? Consider if failure couldn't
happen? Let's say that a doctor said to you that you had to
lose 50lb in the next 9 months or you'll die? Or that your
spouse says they won't tie the knot unless you lose that
weight?

If you consider the situation in that light, it soon gets
wonderfully easy to stick to your diet.

My goal has been to lose weight, then once I've lost the
weight to find a spouse. Now I find that half way to the
finale of my diet I have come into contact with a beautiful
lady plus I am finding it reasonably simple to stay
disciplined on my diet because I want to make them respect
what I'm doing.

What exactly could you put in place to make certain winning
is the only option for you? Could you plan a photo shoot?
Or else tell everyone what you're doing.

Whatever is needed to almost totally eliminate the chance
of you giving up. Take action on it. It'll be the best gift
you've ever given yourself.
