Have you ever felt like a big diet failure because no matter how many times you try, you never seem to lose weight? I’m sure I did. If you feel this way, don’t worry. There is a way to stop failing at losing weight and start doing it right. It won’t be easy or fast, but you can do it, and you can start right now.

Eat the Right Food

Choosing the wrong diet is one of the most common reasons why people don’t stick to their plans. Let’s face it. No one can lose weight with a fad diet. They set you up to fail when you try to lose weight.

Think about what kind of food will work best for you. Choose a diet like Jenny Craig’s or Weight Watchers’ if you want to follow a plan. If you want more freedom, make a diet based on healthy eating rules and keep track of what you eat often. Whether you eat low carb, high carb, low fat, or something in between, if you stick to a low-calorie diet, you will lose weight.

Ditch Bad Habits Completely

Dieting fails are often caused by bad eating and workout habits. Find your five worst habits and make a promise to get rid of them. Ask yourself these questions to help you figure out what your bad habits are:

Do I sneak food?

Do I eat too much because I’m stressed, bored, or happy?

Am I putting in too many calories at night?

Do my snacks make up a lot of my calories?

Is it more than once a month that I eat fast food?

Do I say I’ll work out but then never do it?

Get ready for your environment

One of the things I had to do to help me lose weight was clean up my environment. The chocolate bunnies that lived in the kitchen, not the dust bunnies that lived under the couch.

Take a look at your kitchen and get rid of any unhealthy foods you have in there. This will keep you from being tempted and make room for better foods.

Get the right frame of mind

Start your diet by thinking like a winner. Tell yourself that you can do this, that you will win, and that you won’t give up no matter what. Write down these good things to tell yourself and say them to yourself often.

Have high hopes for them

When people eat, they sometimes set their goals too low and don’t expect enough from themselves. Don’t expect to fail. Instead, give yourself high standards for sticking to your diet and not giving up. If you think this is impossible, think about how children often meet their parents’ standards. Set a high goal for yourself and try to reach it.

Get ready for the unexpected

Don’t think that your diet will be easy and that everything will go well. When something out of the blue gets in your way, just go around it and keep going. Don’t give up on your diet if you get bad news that makes you want to eat or if you hurt yourself and can’t work out. Just do what you need to do to make your diet work by being open and coming up with new ideas.

Don’t forget to work out

Exercise can’t make up for a bad diet, but it is an important part of a successful diet. When you work out, you not only burn calories and improve your health, but you also tell yourself that you are worth the work it takes to get to a healthy weight.

Get ready ahead of time for maintenance

People often fail at diets because they don’t think about how to keep the weight off while they are still losing weight. It can be scary to realise that you will reach your goal weight and then have to keep the weight off.

Read up on how to keep your weight off, make good habits a part of your life, and find ways to hold yourself accountable once you hit your goal weight.
