I can’t tell you how many times I heard that if one isn’t losing weight, they have another reason for being thin and are unhappy with their bodies or their self-image! That was not my story — I couldn’t bear the thought of myself as a size zero, happy person at 40 because if I stopped eating healthy foods, I would never be beautiful again and I wouldn’t have the energy to do any more things in life; for a week I refused to get up for the third day in a row.

I knew it wasn’t fun for anyone to lose weight and for anybody involved, but I couldn’t help feeling guilty about being fat and miserable about myself. I don’t want someone else to feel like I’m living within reach and at peace with myself; I want the process to be fun, enjoyable. After all, who doesn’t like making themselves laugh? So when I started thinking about losing weight around age 25, I did some research and found ‘all-natural diet plans.’ Those were two options to choose from and if I followed them, I was sure to enjoy watching pounds melt away and my face fading into a flawless glow. But then something bad happened and I started falling off diet plans. I’d start starving at 3pm, feeling so famished that I didn’t want to sleep, didn’t eat or drink. By 8am, I dropped down to 500 calories per day. My boyfriend had been very attentive about my food intake, which was both annoying and comforting. He gave me more space on his plate than I really needed, though. When he took care of my meals, I just sat there like I was dead — I didn’t even care about when he left a plate of cereal on the table. It hurt. The next morning, I felt bad about not enjoying what my body had planned out. I ate and drank everything I could manage before bed — and that made sleep difficult. Now I am back to the healthy weight I have ever been. All weights have come back to normal, plus I feel I got my fair share of exercise. Here is how I managed to successfully drop 10lbs over three years:

Step 1 – Choose an appropriate diet plan

This may seem obvious, but you need to choose a healthy diet plan. This is a really important step because without an effective meal plan, your daily calorie deficit will remain constant and you will fail to burn your stored fats, thus keeping your metabolism sluggish. I tried countless diets during my teens, but I only lost 8 pounds in a year. They didn’t work, so I chose to focus on high protein, low carb products like Atkins Diet, Paleo, Quaker Oats, Keto, Atkins again, etc. If you know you need to stay away from sugary beverages, avoid them altogether. However, if your doctor prescribes a medication for diabetes or heart disease, you should probably take that medication, too.

Step 2 – Know it won’t go on forever

If you have a good diet, you will burn stored fats in the meantime and you will stop seeing any results at first. That’s fine for now, but not forever. Many people say they lose weight quickly because they only have four weeks to live: the number of days between the last cigarette smoking and starting smoking for cancer smokers. Some people start to see results within 15 months; my weight was on the scale when I started my journey, but as I mentioned above, it wasn’t until the second year that I began seeing changes. Sometimes, a tiny plateauing in weight can lead to a sudden rise a few years later. Your goal of weight loss must be realistic and realistic — you must burn more than a small amount of fat a day to maintain a sustainable weight loss goal. Keep going until you hit your goal every single time. You can do this by adding exercise and healthy habits, such as getting a minimum of eight to 12-hour gym sessions a week and practicing yoga or Pilates regularly.

Step 3 – Don't beat yourself up

Believe it or not, this is also part of the long-term success story. People think that intermittent fad diets give temporary changes, especially if you start at a high weight, but that’s not the case; once you establish discipline and discipline at the gym, you’ll see results quickly. There’s always the risk of failure that comes along with intermittent training but there are plenty of reasons to keep going. Even if it takes several years and more than 20,000 steps between two sets at the gym, the weight loss becomes worth it in the end. When it fails, you learn a lot and it helps you improve your way to succeeding each time. Do you want to drop a stone? Go slowly and carefully at first! Then slowly build up to heavy resistance and eventually higher weights. Find the right balance and stick to it.

Step 4 – Enjoy the process

Losing weight has been hard for many people and while it sounds complicated and daunting, it gets easier as you progress through the journey by sticking on top of the latest fitness trends which include cycling, running, yoga, dancing, walking, swimming, hiking, and HIIT (high-intensity interval training) workouts. Also remember, there’s nothing wrong with your looks either! Once you find the groove at the gym, you will notice incredible improvements in your body, like improved abs, bigger arms and chest, toned legs, better posture, and less joint pain. Just remember that you don’t need to get perfect every single workout; it’s okay to feel sore after one of your intense runs or gym workouts. Losing weight takes time and effort and while it’s satisfying to see your clothes and workout gear fit, it’s also important to recognize that that does not mean you need to stop doing exercises or stop eating healthy meals. It means that instead, you need to enjoy the fact that your body is changing and developing and that it’s not slowing down yet. Feel grateful for what your body has done and feel proud of the little wins along the way! Remember how much you enjoyed eating burgers when they seemed so tasty, but you now love steaming your fries and chips because you enjoy having a treat for dessert.

Step 5 – Be patient

Don’t expect overnight results. Most people struggle to drop two to three pounds (on average), especially early on. At least half of the people have a plateauing loss, so it shouldn’t bother them if they weigh more than what they initially weighed. They should gradually increase their exercise time to make it harder yet manageable and to allow themselves to enjoy the process of dropping pounds and burning more than what they already lost.

Step 6 – Reward yourself

It’s easy to become discouraged when it seems like it’s all downhill for so long and not worth putting in your mind. Acknowledging setbacks and learning new skills at the gym will take you back to the drawing board and keep you motivated to continue. Use the extra support from family and friends and reward yourself when you see that you’re not alone with your struggles. For example, if you’ve worked so hard to achieve your fitness goal, you can also celebrate your achievements, even if it is only a tiny bit. Whether it’s sharing your progress to others, celebrating victories, giving gifts to those you have helped, holding special prizes for yourself, receiving congratulations on your way to your goal, or simply thanking yourself for the motivation you have provided throughout the journey. Treat yourself to some positivity every day and remind yourself that although the journey hasn’t always gone well, you’ve kept moving forward. Take the small wins in stride and see that your physique is improving — all thanks to the efforts you’ve invested in and the dedication to following a strict diet plan and creating healthier lifestyle habits. Stay motivated and motivated to keep working towards your goals and not to let all your hard work get affected by the constant fluctuations in your hormones. Always stay focused on yourself, no matter what.

Step 7 – Give it time

When you lose weight, you start to notice health benefits as well — like the increased quality of sleep, appetite, digestion, stamina, muscle gain, and energy levels. These health benefits affect everyone in a similar manner, so it’s recommended to wait 4 to 6 months to bring back a ‘normal’ weight. Try to stick to this timeline which you can adjust based on your preferences and goals. In addition, it’s good to try to keep any unwanted weight off your shoulders — you might feel that the extra pounds aren’t necessary for your particular situation and they just add bulk and weight. On the upside, your health is often considered one of the most significant factors in determining whether or not a person will be able to work with a medical professional when required. Having regular checkups and testing your health with a healthcare provider will ensure safety and long-term health.

Step 8 – Watch your gut function

One thing you can do to keep your gut health intact while working to lose weight is to take care of your body. While maintaining a positive outlook may have been helpful in managing the pandemic, I personally found it difficult to cope with my weight loss. As soon as I realized how much more calories I needed, I checked the kitchen for any additional ingredients I hadn’t eaten. Because of the change in eating habits, I had a reduced appetite. It was frustrating for me because I had spent years preparing for weight loss and I did everything I possibly could to prepare. Yet the idea of starving or lacking nutrients and micron
