FOCUS 3
3.1. Look through the text given below and say what all these recommendations have in common. Best tips and recommendations for you to keep your weight under control and maintain healthy life-style
In order to encourage you on your road to healthy life and weight –loss we found the 25 best motivators and tips which are super-inspiring and can really work for you. Here is the list of this best advice and recommendations:
1. Give yourself 10 good reasons.
Grab an index card and write out at least 10 things that are driving your weight-loss desires. Include the vain (“look great in a bikini”) as well as the virtuous (“lower my cholesterol level”). Stash your list in your purse - or heck, laminate the thing and post on your dashboard if it helps. That way when you experience a dip in motivation you’ll have it on hand to remind you everything you stand to gain by sticking like SuperGlue to your plan.
2. Join a gym near your office or school. Exercising during your lunch break or after work or studies will be much more convenient.
3. Know you are not alone! Don’t be afraid to join a health club because of your size. You’ll find a range of body types at the gym.
4. Seek motivation on the Internet. Get 24/7 support with an online weight-loss group. Exchange messages, recipes, exercise tips with others.
