Some people don’t succeed at weight loss due to:
1)
Feeling as if you don’t have the time to
exercise;
2)
Thinking that you can’t eat healthily because
eating out is convenient and quick;
3)
Seeing people you live with as setting bad
examples, for your weight loss, with food; and,
4)
You needing support from at least one other
person.
Several ways in which obstacles can be overcome
(corresponding to the aforementioned list) are:
1)
Taking 5 – 10 minutes, several times during the
day, to complete 30 minutes per day of exercise;
2)
Making a sandwich, along with packing
single-serving milk or soy-/almond milk when going out so that you don’t eat
fast food;
3)
You cook healthier meals for people you live
with regularly or eat before they do so that you’re not tempted to eat their
weight-loss-busting, unhealthy foods; and
4)
You can ask people you know who are either
trying to lose weight or doing weight-maintenance eating/exercising to give you
weight-loss support, until you find at least one person to hold you accountable
with your weight-loss goal.
