You have sadly learnt that yoyo
dieting is no real solution. We are only really truly successful if we make a lifetime commitment to a healthier lifestyle. That does not mean never having a treat again - or going around saying "my
body is a temple". Nothing so dramatic...
What it means is that we take up a regular form of exercise and do it all the time. We dont stop because we get to
goal weight. We continue doing it into the future. The best form of exercise is something that you enjoy because you will still want to be doing it next year or in twenty years time for that matter. There are benefits to incorporating an element of muscle work into your program - which could be with
weights - or could be something like
pilates. Check out the exercise section.
Read also the
nutrition section - studying the sticky threads - in order to understand how you should build a healthy
diet. Then get a free account from
FitDay - Free Weight Loss and Diet Journal and log your food and exercise. You can thus see your calorie balance and whether you deserve to lose weight. You can also check that your
nutrition is healthy and set for optimal
weight loss (because fitday tells you how much of each nutrient you are getting - e.g. protein, fibre, healthy
fat etc).
We decide that we are going to eat healthily into the future too. We do not stop doing that because we get to
goal weight - we just adjust the calorie balance so that we no longer deserve a loss...
In order to get that vital support element - I suggest that you start a diary. Also see who visits and visit them back in their diary and leave a message. You may want to visit a few diaries up front too to see whether they visit you back. You thus start chatting and make friends. You can also join challenges and get chatting to the folk there.
Good luck with your project.
