I keep trying to go right back into the routine of dieting and exercising, but I just keep failing. I was at a loss about how to break this pattern, but I had to do something so last night I decided the best thing I can do is MAKE A PLAN FOR WEIGHT LOSS!!!<\/div>\n<p>Last night I sat down and wrote out exactly what I had to do. This included my low-cal, high fruit and vegetable meal plan for the next two weeks and a detailed grocery list of exactly what I need to buy. The second thing I wrote out was a time table of my daily schedule that included one hour of exercise five days a week. I made two copies of this schedule &#8211; one for me and one to post on the refrigerator so that my family knows what I have to do and can support me in that.<\/p>\n<p>The third, and probably most important phase of making my weight loss plan was setting a weight loss goal for myself, which is 30 pounds in three months, and then visualizing how I will look and feel at the end of three months. I wrote down all the things that I visualized:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I have more energy and feel healthier<\/li>\n<li>I feel productive with my life<\/li>\n<li>I feel much lighter and my clothes fit beautifully<\/li>\n<li>My knees don&#8217;t hurt when I walk up stairs<\/li>\n<li>My family is proud of me<\/li>\n<li>I have control over my food cravings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Today when I woke up I took a number of minutes visualizing myself 30 pounds thinner and experiencing all the benefits on my list. I feel so inspired. So far I&#8217;m off on the right foot. A light breakfast at home and a healthy lunch is packed for work. I will go to the gym after work for an hour. This is my plan for weight loss &#8211; a new part of my life starts today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I keep trying to go right back into the routine of dieting and exercising, but I just keep failing.
