Five Easy Ways to Make a Calories Loss Commitment

by Rowena French

The beginning of a diet is often the time when we make
promises to ourselves and others about how we will eat and
exercise to cause the weight loss we have always dreamed of.
We assure everyone that this time will be different and this
time we will commit to just what it takes to lose weight.
But do we keep that commitment going with a calories loss
diet and exercise or do we resume the wrong eating habits
and lifestyle and fail to lose any weight or worse still
gain it instead?

That is what happens to most people because dieting is not
always fun, change is usually no fun and there are times
when losing weight can just get hard. But in order to make
real, healthy, permanent changes you need to make sure that
the food you eat over the long term is both enjoyable and
provides you with the calories loss you need. You need to be
committed to getting healthy and fit and to sticking with
your diet and this time you really do make that commitment.

Committing to anything involves letting others in on your
secret and using some kind of outward sign that you are
serious. If this seems a little contrived to you, do not
underestimate the power of an action like this and recall
the significance of symbols like trophies, rings and pledges
during special ceremonies on other important occasions.
Politicians like Senator McCain or Senator Obama will be
committing to our whole country in November. If you really
are serious about sticking to a balanced calories loss diet
and you really want to enjoy the benefits of and successful
exercise program then be prepared to commit this to others
in your life.

There are some fun ways to make a commitment to become
healthier, happier, and fit by losing weight so begin
positively and write it down, making a weight loss contract
and committing to stay on your diet for at least six months.
Include in the contract, rewards for staying committed and
penalties for breaking the contract.  Then sign it, have a
friend witness it then keep it on the refrigerator to remind
you of your commitment.

Paying for a fitness trainer and joining a gym is action
that reflects a very clear commitment to reaching your
weight loss goal.  Both require your money up front without
refund if you fail to show up or drop the program for any
reason. Payment for these reasons to help you become fit and
healthy can be an effective way to make a long term
commitment to weight loss.

Set up a weight loss group where the prime objective of each
member is to support each other as they lose weight and this
will reflect your commitment and enable the same for others.
So get a group started amongst those who have said they
want to lose weight and allow everyone the opportunity to
encourage and keep each other committed. This is the way the
best weight loss clinics operate and is worth copying in
your own way.

You do not need to take out a front page advertisement in
national papers but real commitment to a permanent lifestyle
change and healthier body becomes more powerful when you
share this with your friends, family and workmates. The
outcome of this is generally very encouraging and you can
anticipate interest in your calories loss menu and your
exercise routine. After sharing your commitment with the
people in your life whose opinion you value, it is more
likely that you will remain committed for yourself and for
them.

Visualize just how you want to look at your healthiest and
happiest and have fun selecting magazine pictures that
reflect this or your own photos taken at an earlier and
healthier time. Make sure that these are on display in your
office and at home as such images say 'This is who I will
be' and 'This is where my weight loss will take me'.  They
will be daily reminders of the importance of committing to a
calories loss diet that will bring these results.
