Steps to Breaking the Weight Gain Cycle

Individuals who try to lose weight and fail may feel depressed, frustrated and even guilty or ashamed and may rely on comfort foods as a way to feel better

Canoga Park, CA (prHWY.com) January 31, 2012 - Individuals who try to lose weight and fail may feel depressed, frustrated and even guilty or ashamed and may rely on comfort foods as a way to feel better. The same is true of those who succeed in losing weight, only to gain it back. Anxiety, depression and guilt can produce a feeling of hopelessness that hinders efforts to lose weight.

Plan Ahead. What if you should slip? The best way to avoid slipping is through pre-planning. So, if you're off to a backyard barbeque or family gathering decide ahead of time what your plan is. Eat something healthy and filling before you go out and then allow yourself a few special treats at the party, but exercise portion control. If you know that Aunt Mary is making your favorite dessert, plan on having a small slice and savor it. Managing your weight and enjoying life should go hand in hand.

Set Realistic Weight Loss Goals. To avoid the frustration of failing, don't overstress yourself with unrealistic weight loss goals. You gained weight slowly over time and it will take some time to gradually lose that weight. Slow, but sure is the best approach.
Stop Harboring Hurts. Work through issues that are upsetting you. Talk to a therapist or even a friend. Don't let hurts, even old wounds or patterns that reach back into your childhood, affect you and your relationship with food.

Keep your goal in mind at all times. Write down your positive affirmations and put up visual reminders of what you want to attain - that dress you want to buy, that seaside resort you're longing to visit this year, or even a picture the happy person you want to be again. It's all within reach if you set your mind to it, keep active, exercise, and prepare healthy menus that you enjoy.
