Have a Helping (or two) of Dieting Alphabet Soup

by Maria's Last Diet

Do you know your whole dieting alphabet? It pays to. It's your best friend and companion on the way to weight-loss success. So learn it and keep it with you at all times.

If you are just learning the alphabet for the first time, it could take lots of practice before you can put it to good use. If, like so many women, you've known your alphabet for years but had trouble remembering to use it, then here's another chance to see what it can do for you.

So go to it!

Always go right back on when you fall off
Be mindful of your eating triggers
Consider every cheat a learning tool
Design a specific plan for getting through the rough spots
Enlist the support of those close to you
Focus on feelings along with food
Guide your diet process along a path of small goals
Hang on, even when you are not perfect
Imagine reaching your goal and how you will feel
Justify a cheat by carefully examining the situation where it happened
Keep your goals fresh by re-thinking them daily
Lose weight, don't lose your mind
Make up your mind, and your body will follow
Navigate your way through holidays by easing up on diet rules
Organize the steps of your diet plan, but stay flexible
Prepare for the weight loss journey before you take the first step
Question your negative, limiting beliefs about yourself
Remember other areas in your life where you successfully reached a goal
Stop and think before you automatically succumb to old habits
Try again whenever you have a slip
Understand that defenses are always at work when you are trying to change something about yourself
Voice your feelings instead of stuffing them down with food
Work hard at resolving the non-food issues
X-out people and places that are conducive to overeating

Finding the right Diet Plan can be really hard. You need to find one that would fit with your daily lifestyle. There are so many different options when it comes to picking a plan. I think the most easy plan is something that allows you to count your calories and log them in a journal. I found this really great website that offers some really great diet plans. I hope it helps you on your weight loss journey. http://www.fitclick.com/dietplan
