Speaking of fitness, one of the main concerns of individuals trying to lose weight is setting goals. So to point you in the right direction, keep these in mind:
Love your body
Learn to appreciate your own physique, even if isn't in its ideal state yet, as this is the first step to realising your goals. So set your vision around your intention to lose weight, not on getting frustrated that you do not look like that supermodel you admire so much.
Learn to control yourself
Although there is a host of ways to getting active, there can be many reasons why you are not as fit as you want to be. Now one of the most common culprits is the lack of control when it comes to eating. So if ever you are depressed or stressed, steer clear of fatty or sugary foods. Instead, let healthier alternatives, such yoghurt and fruits, be your comfort food.
Do not be intimidated
Look away if TV and Internet advertisements bug you, especially those that say “Lose 10 lbs in a week!”. In fact, better avoid these altogether. Some of these might only serve to intimidate you from reaching realistic goals.
Aside from all these, you should let a personal trainer help you out. After all, “Becoming more active doesn't necessarily mean sweating it out in a gym...” - BBC, especially on your own. You will need expert guidance from a professional.
