Return Of The Scale

My Healthy Weight Game Plan

1. Learn How to Eat – Not Diet – in the past I would pick some random diet and get all pumped up and have a little success, then fail and make up a crazy diet, which didn’t work – so no more diets except for a healthy diet. I am going to plan my meals for the week and cook meals at home. I will eat out only for social reasons, and be mindful of what I eat. To help me grasp a concept of portion sizes and how much I need to be eating, I will be using a computer program to help count and keep track of how many calories I eat.
2. Exercise – I will do some sort of physical activity every day. It may be walking, riding a bike, using my exercise bike, going to the gym, working in the yard or doing sit-ups. My goal is to do something every day.
3. Be Accountable – Here is the kicker, and the reason for this site. I do better when I am accountable for myself. I was very successful at previous “diets” when I had challenges with family and friends or I had something to keep me accountable. That is why I am making this site, to share my successes and failures, but above all, to be accountable for what I am doing.
4. Change Bad Habits – Overeating isn’t just about food. I am eating when I am stressed, when I am sad, when I am tired and when I am happy. I need to replace my bad habits with good ones. Then maybe I can stop the cycle of overeating.
5. Maintain Weight Loss- I am not looking for a crash diet or exercise plan. I don’t ever want to go on a diet again, or force myself to do activities I hate doing. I want to change so that I enjoy eating healthy food and find activities and exercise that I like to do. I want to change so that I am not on a diet for the rest of my life.
