You've made to your weight loss before after experience. You have all the reason in the world to be proud of yourself for loosing the amount of weight you had planned in only a few months. Diet pills may have helped you to lose the extra weight fast. Maybe you chose an exercise and diet regimen to get to your new won shape, eating controlled portions of food and stepping up on exercises. You may even have gone as far as plastic surgery, with all the pain, expense and trouble it entails, to get your former shape back. Any method you used, it came at a price to look the way you had planned
A break was in order after all the effort you put into your weight loss before after process. Hey, that wonderful cappuccino you just had was something you really deserved (and after all it was just coffee, wasn't it?) and offending your grandma by refusing a single slice of that heavenly double fudge cake she makes wasn't a good idea either. Next time you weighed yourself you find two extra pounds you hadn’t planned on. To get rid of the newly gained extra pounds you strictly reduce your food intake for a couple of days and, phew, you manage to get back to your goal weight. Almost blew it.
A few days later an invite for a dinner party at your friend's arrives and she always goes all the way. She probably spent hours with the preparations and spent a bundle on that three-course dinner. Talking about your diet doesn't really fit into the context, does it now? And should you dare to bring up your weight loss before after, you probably get to hear that you really could use a full meal after all the dieting and as skinny as you've gotten. Knowing you're going down the wrong path you go ahead and dig in. The next few days are very stressful at work and you have to eat whenever possible and don’t get around to fixing yourself a salad, but have to do with fast food. You panic. It's starting all over . . .
Thinking that we can go back to our accustomed way of eating once we’ve reached our weight loss before after goal or the fear of gaining back what we have lost are both tremendous obstacles to maintaining your weight loss in the long run. When you are afraid of gaining back the weight you've lost you can get so tense that your body will crave more food than it actually consumes, to meet emotional needs. And if you think you can go back and eat as you used to you got it dead wrong, since that will only get you back right where you started out with all that extra weight and often even worse.
No matter which method you picked to obtain your own weight loss before after experience, you will need to change to some healthy ways of eating and exercising to keep your metabolism going, or will constantly be in danger to gain it all back. And I’m not talking about drastic measures. What this is about is a diet that is balanced with all the protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamins and minerals your body needs, reducing the empty carbs and unnecessary fat from for example fried foods.
Like it or not, exercise will have to play it's part in your weight loss before after management in the long run. And as before, it isn't drastic measures I'm talking about, like swimming from England to France.. I’m talking about a healthy maintainable amount of exercises that will greatly contribute to your overall health and well being, not just your weight management. And if they promise you long-term weight loss before after without any exercises in the long run, well, then they are lying to you.
For your own and your family's sake, go with some healthy choices and see them through and you WILL see that the "after" in weight loss before after can be permanent.
