4 Self-Help Tips to a Sexier You
Are saddlebags, love handles and spare tires inching
their way into your body? Do you spend minutes looking
at the mirror wishing you had the perfectly fit body of
Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt? Do most physical activities
you have previously enjoyed, morphed into pure torture?
Does your diet mostly consist of salt, sweets and fats?
If you answered yes to one of the questions stated above,
then you surely have plenty of reasons to get lean the
healthier way. Keep in mind that losing weight is not
for aesthetic reasons only.
If you are convinced that your well-being relies on your
determination, then apply these tried and tested “get
lean” guidelines to help you out. Not only will you lose
those ugly bulges, you will also be launching a stronger,
sexier and more self-assured you in the upcoming months.
Still wondering how to do it? Here are the secrets:
1. Set SMART goals. Your goals should
be specific, measurable, achievable, result-oriented
and time-bound in order to be highly effective. For
example, if you want to shed off excess pounds, say
how much weight you want to lose in a week or a month.
It should be realistic. Health experts advocate losing
no more than one pound a week to maintain the body’s
equilibrium. If you want to have a 24-inch waistline,
express in concrete terms how it should be done as well
as the target date.
2. Prepare a timetable and/or diary. This
will reflect your progress. Daily, weekly and monthly
activities in order to get lean will be included. This
means household chores and outdoor exercises should
be listed as well as improvement in food preferences
from unhealthy to healthy ones.
3. Commit with a partner. He or she
will serve as a support system in your long and oftentimes
arduous journey to fitness. Choose someone who can wholeheartedly
support you even through the toughest times. It’s really
a great boost to the ego to have someone to talk to
when you feel like giving up. Verbalize your innermost
feelings when you feel an intense urge to quit.
4. Chant the “Yes, I can” mantra.
Dispel those negative thoughts and replace them with
positive pep talks. The moment you wake up in the morning,
fill your mind with upbeat reminders to lift your energy
throughout the day.
Now you know how to get lean the healthier way. Best
of luck.
