How to Overcome Weight Loss Failure - Common Avoidable Mistakes in Weight Loss

Have you started a new diet for the third time this year? You know you are overweight and really want to lose weight. You may have read all the information on how to lose weight, set goals for yourself, read all the motivational messages on weight loss just to psych yourself up but after a few weeks or months, you fizzle out and you know, you just can't keep a promise to yourself therefore making you to fail on your way to a permanent weight loss.


If you are this person, then you are not alone. Weight loss failure is very common and it is estimated that more than half the people who start a such program in the year, do not reach their goals, all because of some mistakes that so many of such people make. This has then necessitated the writing of this article to help you identify some of the common mistakes that usually make you fail and also provide you with their solution.
The first and most common mistake is, not setting a goal at all or setting a goal that is not proper that is an unrealistic goal. Have you ever wondered why, you would want to lose say 20 pounds of weight in just 2 weeks? Clearly, this is highly unattainable but even if it is attainable, it will definitely damage your health. Start with a small goal like 2 pounds a week. This would surely motivate you especially, when you really see the weight being shed off.
Another reason that makes so many people fail in their weight loss goals is that they do not do proper tracking of their weight. It is one motivating factor in weight loss because; it is the only thing that would make you see the visible results of the exercises that you are always performing. Don't expect to see change in your weight on daily basis. If you measure your weight on daily basis, you might become discouraged. Do it weekly or even more appropriately monthly. This will help you to avoid being discouraged.
Have you felt bored for doing the same thing over and over again? This really happens to many people on their way to lose weight because; they do not vary their exercises. Make sure to vary the exercises by changing it every week or whenever you see boredom beginning to set in. Do this to avoid saying to yourself "damn that exercise! I'm not going to do it again as long as I live."
Finally, when you always keep your challenges, problems and successes to yourself, you will definitely give up. So share them with your friends who are of the same mind as you. Make sure to choose friends who are also trying to lose weight and share your experiences with them. Their stories will also serve as a form of motivation for you.
If you do these, you will surely get to your weight loss goal without you becoming a failure again.
