Lessons We Can Learn from The Biggest Loser
1. Put Loss of weight First.
In the Biggest Loser household loss of weight is the first priority. Make it come first in your household, too. Sounds simple, doesn't it? It is. In fact, so easy that many individuals just overlook it. They try to fit workout and planning meals around everything else in their lives, instead of making it a priority.
Think about how important it is to get into shape and have a better quality life -- instead of watching TV or sitting around feeling miserable. Plan your meals, record what you eat, and do some form of workout.
2. E is for Workout - and enjoy!
One thing we see in the Biggest Loser household is the more they exercise, the more they seem to enjoy it.
The secret to enjoying workout is finding what's right for YOU. If you don't really enjoy the gym, look for other kinds of work out. You need a mix of cardio and resistance schooling - but it doesn't have to be on machines. Walk, swim, dance, hike, garden, ... there are endless choices that can be fun for you. Research what happens to various muscles - and to your heart - when you workout, and choose activities that you will love.
3. Identify the Triggers.
Weight gain usually includes emotional causes. Keeping a food diary, and recording what you eat and when (and why) you eat it, you'll soon see patterns of emotional eating. Some triggers may include boredom, being tired or lonely, stress, family issues, or financial problems.
Once you have identified your personal eating triggers, you can start creating strategies to defeat them. This can be as simple as identifying every time you want to eat. Are you really hungry? If not, then why do you want to eat? Are you really just thirsty? If you're not ready to handle the root cause, then have healthy snacks ready that won't add to your problems with the resulting extra weight.
