This time we will not offer any diet how to lose weight. Let’s instead talk about psychological and moral preparation for this step. Typically, everybody wants to have quick results, but this means that we will damage our health and the results will not last for long. So what should you do?
Find out what you really need
Think why do you want to go on diet. Do you want to lose weight, improve your health, look prettier? Or maybe you want to do it for somebody else? Some people have to look good (models, actors), others want to be thinner to fit some specific clothes. For some of us, a good diet can really change our lives. Ask yourself why you want to do it. Make a goal and reach for it consciously. The goal has to be specific and realistic to achieve.
Psychological preparation
It is practically impossible to start a diet without preparing yourself psychologically. Take a sheet of paper and write two lists. One of them should include the benefits, another – drawbacks of a diet. Analyze these lists and think of what is the most important for you. It will be much easier when you decide to lose weight firmly and know why you are doing this. Besides, on the week moments, you can have a look at these lists again and they will help you to go on to seek your goal.
It is also very important to have some other activities that would change your habit to hang around the fridge. Some people like to do sports, others – read books. This is very individual and only you know what will help you the most.
