Weight Loss - Don't Be Too Hard on Yourself

Categories: Your Turn, Diet & Weight Loss

your turn
When you're trying to lose weight, it's easy to get a bit obsessive about your food choices. I know I'm guilty of it, and I wondered how forgiving That's Fit readers arre of occasional slips:

  • 46.1 percent get pretty down on yourselves when you overindulge, but you get right back on the bandwagon.
  • 27.5 percent of you are all-or-nothing thinkers. When you screw up, you give up.
  • 26.5 percent maintain a balanced outlook; you know that slips are bound to happen and don't stress about it.

To maintain weight loss, it's best to get yourself out of the all-or-nothing mindset. In fact, you're probably better off if you don't even have a diet mindset. Just develop healthy eating patterns and exercise regularly -- habits that can last a lifetime.
