It’s Almost Spring -Get Back on Track with your Weight Loss Diet

It’s right about that time -the shoulder season of dieting. A
time when we’re no longer obsessed by our New Years resolutions
and the looming bathing suit season is still too far off. We’re
stuck between a rock and hard place because it’s hard to find
the motivation to get on to a weight loss diet when there’s
nothing particularly motivating us to get moving.

If you’re looking for some springtime dieting inspiration to get
back on track with your healthy eating regime or exercise plan,
think about the meaning of the spring season. Spring is the time
of year when little flowers peek through the melting snow and
new birth begins. Let these little miracles quietly happening
around you to compel you to make a positive diet change in your
life.

The key to experiencing a new-found motivation in your dieting
lifestyle is action. Find an activity or diet program that
you’re interested in and commit to it. For example, is there a
cause or charity preparing for a walk-a-thon, 5-mile run or
half-marathon in your city? Is there an aerobic class or walking
group you can join?

Once you’ve selected the right activity, it’s important to
commit and stick to it because without a commitment you’re not
likely to reach your greatest potential. Something that may help
you commit is the group of people you meet or the friends which
accompany you to the fitness class, walking group or tennis
club. Finding a community of people that will be there every
week will help motivate you to participate knowing you have a
group of people waiting for you.

Finally, once you’ve found an activity and group of people to
keep you enthused, try telling your friends or loved ones about
your new-found motivation. Not only will you inspire others to
recommit to their health with your example, but the act of
telling people is an indirect way to keep you accountable.

Just like the new growth that naturally occurs in the
springtime, find a healthy burst of energy in your life. Amaze
yourself and others with the zest for life you’ll find in
discovering a healthy activity or weight loss program and
committing to it through community and accountability!
