How many times do you look in the mirror and feel unsatisfied with your body? How many times do you tell yourself you’ll do something about it tomorrow? But tomorrow never comes!
Recognize The Problem.
Majority of the time we can blame ourselves for not exercise enough or at all. You should have maybe worked harder and not spent the entire time at the gym worrying about looking silly or admiring others more than focusing on your own training.
Maybe you haven’t given up the unhealthy foods? Regardless the exercise reasons behind it all, sometimes you’ve got to simply understand that our genetic makeup and characteristics just works against us, sometimes that body you want just can’t be for us.
Don’t beat yourself up, find what works for you. Train either indoors or outdoors depending on your preference and season, choose healthier meal options and even take up stretching classes.
Realistic Goals.
Instead of setting goals that are just to lose weight you should be more specific. You need to exercise as a whole rather than just wanting to lose weight on your belly. It just doesn’t work like that.
Unless you’re aiming to starve yourself into a size 0, sometimes we’ve got to accept the fact that somewhere whilst seeking to lose fat the body can only lose a certain amount before it becomes unhealthy. Will a massive weight lose change be good for you?
A major problem is people forget that when training hard, muscle weighs more than fat. So some people will wonder why they’re not losing fat (weight) when in actual fact they’ve done an excellent job! But of course they’ll never see it and will wonder what on earth people around them are saying when they begin to get complemented.
Set up short-term goal that aren’t about your weight, and be commit to them fully. When you reach the short term goals be kind to yourself, give yourself a complement or two.
Stop and Think.
Don’t constantly put yourself down. Something you’ve probably not even thought about is that the more you insult yourself the more the people around you will begin to see more faults in you too. Which in turn will make you feel worse but at the day it’s your own fault for sharing it with them. You must be especially careful in case there are children around, this could potentially be a negative experience for them. They’ll begin to question what is the ideal body? Soon children will start to wonder if they’re fat themselves and at a young age it’s too difficult for them to understand weight loss, strength training and proteins.
