Somehow Choosing a good diet plan and Summertime just doesn't fit. Doesn't even sound good together. But let's be honest, You've had a good summer, lot's of back yard barbecues, trips to the beaches and those roadside diners and dive's noted for comfort food and adding a pound here and there.
Life is meant to be lived but there comes a time when we need to sit down and decide how we're going to fit into our party clothes for the holidays. If a diet is in your agenda don't fret, just make some good decisions now that will insure that your diet is successful.
The only reason diets fail is because we don't think through the diet or the consequences of the diet. Here are 7 must do items to allow you to have a successful diet.
Thing You Must Do #1:Decide How Much You Want To Lose!
Don't just pick a number out of the sky, be realistic. You need to stay healthy on the diet, losing too much weight at one time is not good for your health. Aim for two to three pounds a week. More than that and you will set your self up to fail. You didn't put it on in a week so don't try to lose it all at once.
Thing You Must Do #2:Decide Which Type Of Diet Fits Your Personality
Each and every one of us has been made different. One diet doesn't fit all. Never has, never will. We are designed by our creator to be different with different needs. If your a body builder then the Sonoma diet would be an insult to you. If you love carbs then a no-carb or low-carb diet would be a recipe for failure for you, your best friend might do great on the same diet.
Thing You Must Do #3:Decide How You Will Interact With The Rest Of The Family
Are you going to sit down and eat with the rest of the family who are not on the diet. How will you feel? Will you be resentful? If so, decide now how you're going to handle the situation. Being resentful of the others at each meal is a sure way to cause a diet to go sour.
Thing You Must Decide #4:Ask For Your Families Support.
The quickest way to get exactly what you want is to ask for it. Your family and co-workers will be more than willing to give you support and help if you ask for it. Share your goals with them and you will be surprised at the affirmations and support coming from them.
Thing You Must Decide #5:Set A Time Table For Your Diet.
All good things must come to an end and that includes a successful diet. When yours ends, whether you choose to continue a portion of your diet, that's up to you. You will know a lot more about your body by diets end. Use this knowledge to fit the good things into your daily routine. But the important thing is the diet must end. Diets that go on and on end in sure failure.
Thing You Must Decide #6:Decide What You Are Going To Do After Your Diet.
This part is not set in concrete because you will learn a lot about your body during the diet. But decide now if you will be willing to continue some of the good things you learned about yourself during the diet and make it a part of your everyday life.
Thing You Must Decide #7:Set Yourself Up To Win!
By doing these seven must do things you will assure yourself of success. We tend to fail when we run around trying one new fad diet after another. Just because a diet works great for your best friend doesn't mean it will work for you. You know more than anyone else about your body. Set your self up to win with a diet that is good for you
