Similarly, it is important to evaluate your goals and keep track of your progress for weight management. Without self-monitoring, people can easily get out of track. For example, there is no planning or review mechanism, such as weighing regularly, recording meals (including all meals and light meals) and physical activity levels, and not anticipating changes. Daily life such as during festivals that do not fit the current weight management plan. There is no regular review of the plan to see if there is a danger signal.
As a result, we are unaware of the need to get back on track until the clothes feel tight or, lately, weigh in the clinic.
Clear and consistent
For Yuen, setting the extreme goal of preparing all meals daily was time consuming and labor intensive.
He did not set a timeline to resume his weight management routine and did not have the habit of regularly checking the progress of weight loss, so he gradually gained weight. As a result, he noticed that he was gaining weight and felt depressed when he avoided weighing him regularly. The longer he had to avoid it, the harder it was for him to get back on track.
Since then, he has modified his goals and moved them around the important celebrations that gave him joy. One day he pre-arranged a visit during the meal time so that he could have a healthy meal before going out.
He also realized his thoughts, changed his mindset of all-or-nothing, enjoyed CNY moderately, and found that weekly weight measurement was less time consuming and part of an approach to weight loss. I remembered.
The festive season is one of the common pitfalls of weight management planning. But if we know how we think and feel about food, and the rationalization we make to get out of doing better for our bodies, our results will be better. It will get better.
Complementing your “hardware” with a weight management “software” tool allows you to enjoy delicious pineapple tarts without tilting your scale.
