Finding A Weight Loss Plan That Really Works
By Debbie Allen
As I got dressed and turned to look in the mirror I was taken aback by what I saw, my clothes were fitting me better than they had in quite sometime! That is a wonderful feeling that is hard to define. I had finally succeeded; I found a weight loss plan that really works.
I had tried some of the well-known weight loss programs, you know the ones, they are very expensive and can even afford to pay for commercials on TV. Although I am sure those plans work for some they did not work for me. After a week or so of the required food I was tired of it. I feel sure that the celebrities promoting those programs receive lots of additional help and advice that the rest of us do not.
In years gone by I also tried various fad diets and pills. With the fad diets I was starving after a couple of days and the pills left me feeling miserable. Headaches have always been a problem for me and using the supplements just increased them. But that was not the end of the side-effects; I also suffered with stomach cramps, fatigue, and a nervousness that caused me to be very irritable.
You may be wondering what this weight loss plan is that actually worked. First of all it is not a diet at all. That's a good thing! I am never hungry. I have learned about the impact of our metabolism rate on our weight. I know that sounds simplistic but it really is possible to manipulate your metabolic rate.
Additionally, I wanted to lose weight and be healthy. I found that my nursing background came in handy with that issue. In reality a weight problem affects you physically, emotionally and mentally. Therefore, if you are going to lose weight you need to focus on you as a complete person, not a diet plan or a single aspect of you.
Stress can play a major role in our weight. It is important that we address our emotional status when we are attempting to manage our weight. The good news is that there are ways to alleviate or decrease the stress in your life without the use of medications.
When you are developing a plan to solve a problem you go back to the basics of; what, when, where, why, etc. That is done before you move forward. This provides you the opportunity to see where the real problem is and to resolve it at its root. You can then develop realistic goals and decide on detailed steps that will help you reach those goals.
The problem with most weight programs is that they do not address any of those issues. Instead the focus is on losing weight by following the diet or program. This means that the 'person' is being ignored. And eventually there will come a time that the diet or program will need to end. Then the person ends up right back where he started, or even worse.
I have found that by using a weight management plan that is holistic in nature I am able to lose and control my weight plus I am living a healthier lifestyle. I look better and I feel great! This approach is easy to use because you simply make small changes to your life as time goes by. This is a sure way to lose weight and keep it off. The end result is a healthier, slimmer and trimmer person that is less stressed and more satisfied. You really can't ask for more than that!
