2 Things That Can Sabotage Your Weight Loss

By Greg White


When you're making an attempt to lose weight, it may frequently appear like everything in your life is conspiring against you and making it tougher to reach your goal. The reality is, there are plenty of external diversions which make it virtually impossible to remain concentrated on your weight loss goals.

Here are two to look out for:

1 - Clutter and Disorder

Are your house and workspace terribly cluttered and disorganized? If this is the case you might want to give some time to cleaning them up Asap! You wouldn't think that a disheveled environment has anything to do with weight loss, however it absolutely does. Think about how you are feeling when you are in a muddled, disorganized environment. Confused, unable to concentrate, sluggish, bogged down, scattered. All these feelings will impact your ability to stay targeted and incentivized on your weight loss goals, or any goals.

When your surroundings are clean, orderly and organized, you are feeling much lighter, more happy, centered and energized, which can help in keeping you on track with your goals.

2 - Busyness

How busy are you most days? Like plenty of other folk, you'll have answered, "I can't remember what it's like to NOT be busy!" While busyness is extremely commonplace in this era, it can be a large obstacle standing between you and your weight loss goals. When you're busy, you are more likely to postpone preparing healthy meals and snacks and working out. You have got the best motives to stick to a healthy lifestyle, but it will ultimately appear too hard to keep going.

To overcome this hindrance, you've got to find creative ways to decrease your persistent busyness and leave time for your weight loss activities. Planning healthy menus, shopping, cooking and preparing healthy foods, working out everyday. These things should be a top priority in your life. Undoubtedly you have got other activities that aren't as crucial, even though they are still very important to you. If you truly can't eliminate any activities to minimize your busyness, at least work out a way to rearrange some things so you can slot in everything you need to do. Your health is hanging in the balance and if your will to do something about it is strong enough, you can find a way.
