Tips To Help Lose Weight For This New Year

It is finally 2020, here starts the new year, new me resolutions! Many of us are most likely wanting to lose weight for this new year to feel great about our bodies and overall feel happy in our own skin. There are many different ways to lose weight but here are 3 big ways to start with your weight loss journey.

1. Water

I can not express this enough but water is so important when it comes to losing weight. Drinking water helps boost your metabolism, cleanse your body of waste, and acts as an appetite suppressant. If you drink water Also, drinking more water helps your body stop retaining water, leading you to drop those extra pounds of water weight. If you are someone that struggles with drinking water, my best advice to you is to drink very cold water. Having water that is super cold refreshes you and helps get it down. Since the water is so cold, it tricks your mind into thinking it's just a nice and refreshing drink. The more water you can drink the better the outcome will be.

2. When You Weigh

When you begin to lose weight, you may find the need of wanting to weigh yourself daily, or even twice a day. However, frequent weighing can be more damaging than can it be helpful and here's why. Due to the time of day, you will weigh different. In the morning, you are at your lightest weight for the day. In the evening, you are at your heaviest. That being said, it is best to weigh yourself at the end of each week. Weigh yourself at any time on Monday, and then weigh yourself again on Sunday. You will most likely get results you want, even if it is just a few pounds. Those few pounds can be super encouraging for you to keep going in your journey.

3. What You Eat

The last tip is usually the hardest for most people to accomplish. This is watching and controlling what you eat, how much of it, and when. When it comes to losing weight, it can be easy to start watching what you eat, but overtime it can become expensive and you even lose interest. When you decide to get a plate of food, remember this saying, "Eat until you're satisfied, not until you're full". If you can train your stomach to not intake as much as it can, your stomach will begin to shrink and you won't be as hungry as you usually are. With that in mind, it is best to avoid things high is sugar. Sugar will be your weakness when you're trying to lose weight, so it is best to try your hardest to avoid it.

I hope that these tips help you get started, and I wish you the best of luck to achieve your goal weight! Anything is possible if you put your mind to it, and aspire for what you want, and not for what others expect out of you. It'll only get easier over time, and I know that you can do it.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
