Sabotaging Your Weight
Many people join a fitness center to help control their weight
. But unfortunately, there still lies the problem of sabotaging oneself. The lack of general knowledge, awareness, and the ability to stick to the plan can all hinder your fitness goals, slowing you down or even putting you back a few steps. What we want to do is to help folks realize that there are several things they can do to avoid sabotaging their weight.
Ignorance isnt bliss- or healthy
For the majority of people, the actual knowledge of how to control their weight is often misunderstood or they are unaware of what or how much to eat in order to control or lose weight.
The truth is that most people arent able to judge their calorie intake properly. This applies not only to a daily consumption of calories, which often is related to your energy output to calorie intake, but also the timing of when to put those calories to use. Timing plays a big role in weight loss and control, particularly when you consume the needed calories for fuel. You dont fuel up your vehicle the day before you are going on a trip; you do it right before you take off to ensure that you have what it takes to get to your destination. The same principle applies to your body.
is likely the most essential part of the fitness program. You can work out all you want, but if youre sabotaging your weight by not eating properly, youre just chasing your tail.
You eat more than you might think
Have you ever sat down to eat a large meal and started calculating calories? While this is a good step, what often happens is that the meal is large enough to where miscalculations can occur easily. While this is normal for any situation, the larger the meal, often the larger the miscalculation- resulting in way too many calories you added on without taking them back off.
Areas where overeating (over calorie intake) often happens are commonly at parties (even if you stay away from the cake), restaurants, and buffets. There are more people present so we arent paying attention to what we are actually eating, and quite frankly, the meal itself is larger and theres plenty to go around. We usually say to ourselves: Hey, Ill just have one more. It wont hurt anything. But if youve ever heard the classic comedian, Sinbad, he makes the comment: If I could eat just one chip, I wouldnt be on a diet. Though it is a good joke, it is so very true.
The best thing to do, if you cant resist temptation, is to avoid temptation altogether. Dont put yourself in a situation where you may be inclined to over-eat, because its hard to stop after just one chip.
All good things come in time
Just because you dont notice results instantly, doesnt mean that its not working. Results take some time, and often folks wont stick with a method because they didnt lose fifteen pounds in one or two sessions. Results are best calculated over time, so dont be discouraged by slow results. Many people sabotage themselves by quitting or radically changing their diet plans because they didnt lose enough weight quickly enough. As the tortoise and the hare tale goes: slow and steady wins the race.
In order to avoid sabotaging ourselves, we need to become aware of what we are doing every day, down to the last calorie. These small differences add up and change the direction we are headed, even if we arent aware that something has gone awry. Take the time to become aware of what you are doing, and work towards your fitness goals.
