4 Things to help speed up weight loss

Attitude

Try to maintain a positive attitude about losing weight. Losing weight does not happen overnight so it is important to remain optimistic even when you come across some stumbling blocks along the way.

Focus on weight loss

It is relatively easy to lose focus on losing weight, especially because it is a process that takes time and maintenance thereafter. Set up reminders - online or physical ones to help remind you to engage in a workout or to eat a healthy snack when becoming hungry. You could also buy a book or signup for online newsletters that provide you with ideas, suggestions or different ways in which you can burn calories. Just stay focused!

Motivation

Motivation can go a long way to help you to reach your weight-loss targets sooner. If you don’t have a weight-loss partner, spouse or friend to keep you on track, then perhaps consider joining a weight-loss support group. It will be a fantastic way to share ideas, get advice and most of all stay motivated!

Fear of failure?

Try to find ways in which you can cope better with the fear of failure if you are concerned or feel that losing weight may be unachievable for you. Perhaps take another look at your weight-loss goals and ask yourself if they are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and can be achieved within the set time limit. You could also chat to a professional who may be able to help you cope better with this fear.
