As many weight loss surgery post-operative patients know,
it is possible to regain weight after having weight loss
surgery. If you aren't a weight loss surgery patient, the
same essentially apply to you too. A nutritious, active
lifestyle is the key to losing weight AND maintaining your
weight loss regardless of how you do it.
Here's the Top 10 reasons how to do it:
10. Don't exercise.
9. Don't bother drinking water.
8. Drink alcohol, soda and fruit juice.
7. Graze either all day long or for long periods of time
throughout the day.
6. Eat mostly carbs in your meal, especially sugary,
refined carbs.
5. Ignore taking your vitamins or take them whenever
convenient and if you remember.
4. Protein first? Eat protein after you eat your mostly
carb-heavy meals only if there's room.
3. Don't bother keeping a food and exercise journal.
2. Don't get support either by a support group, online
support, or your own weight loss coach.
And the number 1 way:
1. Thinking you are cured, your surgery will do all the
work in maintaining your weight loss, and never have to be
concerned about emotional eating or food issues ever again.
Losing weight is a process. We didn't gain our weight
overnight and it won't come off overnight either. If you
keep this list and refer to it often, you can maximize your
weight loss and the rate at which you lose. When we make
the decision to have surgery and lose weight, we want it
NOW.
Rather than focus strictly on the number on the scale,
appreciate all the positive changes you're making. When
you reach your desired weight, you will have experienced
all sorts of little and big "wins" along the way. By
following the Top 10, you'll no longer need a seat belt
extender, you'll be able to zip up jackets, wear your jeans
you haven't worn in years, you'll have more energy, you'll
be able to participate in activities that would have
exhausted you before, and many more that will be special
and unique to you. Losing weight can be a wonderful
adventure and journey with many wins along the way.
The process of losing weight is to change your habits. You
need to discard the old habits that made you heavy in the
first place and replace them with new, healthy habits. The
above Top 10 are the best habits you can incorporate into
your life. Habits are learned behaviors. Just as we
learned the unhealthy habits of becoming overweight or
obese, you can relearn habits that will allow you to lose
weight and maintain the weight. I've lost weight before
but never maintained it. How did I do it? I did it by
following the Top 10. You can too.
