Maintaining a healthy weight is a concept that involves your overall health, lifestyle, routines, diet and emotional state. It is not about attaining the weight celebrities and advertisements imply you should be or the look people at your gym aspire to.
It is about you.
Every person is different and every body is different. What is healthy for one person may not be the right formula for another.
The goals you set around weight should be about helping you be the strongest and healthiest person you can be. Great. That makes it sound easy, right? But if you are just starting to think about your weight loss plan, it’s difficult to know where to start.
Visit a Doctor Whether your goal is to just tone and firm up or lose a lot of weight, it is important to know your current state of health. If you haven’t visited a doctor recently, make an appointment. Make sure you have had a recent physical and any injuries assessed. Doctors are always on your side when you want to make changes toward a healthier life. At Rapid Weight Loss and Esthetics Centers, we take it a step further than most weight management programs out there. Our weight loss programs are physician supervised.
Surround Yourself with Support It is extremely difficult to make any positive changes in your life without support. If you have supportive family and friends, share your goals with them and they will be your best cheerleaders. Join an exercise group or other support group. Having company for work outs and along your path toward a healthier lifestyle can motivate you to keep going when you are ready to throw in the towel.
Don’t Tackle it All at Once Let’s face it, we could all make changes in our lives to be the people we want to be. But if you try to tackle all those changes at once, you get overwhelmed, frustrated and exhausted. And you are likely to give up. Rome wasn’t build in a day. And neither should your new healthier lifestyle. Set a goal each week and stick with it:
• I’m going to only have desserts on weekends, • I’m going to go out for a 20 minute walk everyday on my lunch hour.
It is often helpful to have a theme or bigger goal for the month. For example, incorporating more fruits and vegetables in your diet or going to the gym at least 3 times per week. It doesn’t matter how you choose to set goals, but tackle them a little at a time.
Reward Yourself All work and no play makes Jack a very dull boy. Achieving your weight management goals is going to take a lot of work, so reward yourself! Have a fancy event and need a new outfit to highlight your new flatter tummy? Do it! It’s easy to fall back into old habits, so be sensible about your rewards.

Be Good to Yourself Establishing and maintaining a healthier lifestyle is a long term commitment, so be kind to yourself. Skipped that Body Combat class because it was cold and rainy and you really just wanted to watch a movie? It’s okay to slip once and a while and to also just give yourself a break. If you skip your class every day and fall off your exercise wagon because of it, that would not be good. But cut yourself some slack every now and then. Having good self esteem is extremely important for a successful long term weight management plan. And the longevity of a healthy lifestyle is dependent upon routines that offer a balance of enjoyment and hard work.
