50 Weight Loss Tips – Tip 6

Here is a weight loss tip that is virtually guaranteed to help you shed a few pounds.

Preoccupy yourself.

That’s it.  That is the one tip that will help you lose some weight.

Why does it work?  Here is the explanation.

When I was at my heaviest, and when I was told “lose weight, or die” I looked at what I was doing and found that most of the time I was bored.  So I sat and watched tv.  A lot of TV.  To kill time between channels or shows, I would eat.  

Then as I started my lifestyle changes (which resulted in weight loss) I made better use of my time.  I went away from TV and tried to occupy myself.  We had purchased a house, so kept myself busy with yard work – mowing the lawn, taking care of it, weeding, watering – you name it, I would do it.  I’d be drained when I was done, but you know what – I kept myself busy and away from the TV and I wasn’t bored!

I bought a bike and rode around the neighborhood until I started riding a few miles each day.  I really enjoyed that.

At work I took walks during my 1-hour lunch break.

Boredom is a sure way to gain weight, especially when you are prone to weight gain – boredom is your mortal enemy.  By doing something, maybe even reading a book (outside) you keep your mind active and engaged.  If you can keep yourself from getting bored by doing light exercise – like a walk, or going out of the house you’re sure to beat it and stay away from the fridge or pantry.

Here is to your health!
