贝基•雷曼曾甩掉100磅的肉,现在已经是一名经过认证的健身教练,她建议说不要做太多太大的改变,每天做一点小小的改变就能离你的目标体重更近一点,避免被过重的任务压垮.她说："过度的改变往往不能持久,但减肥的基本要义一直都没有变：多运动、多吃蔬菜、多喝水.今天多喝一杯水并不能减掉20磅的体重,但聚沙成塔就会形成巨大持久的改变."
Make fitness a priority, but go slowly
把减肥放在首位,但要慢慢来
Naomi Teeter, the blogger behind Inspire Transformation, knew it was a priority to make working out a habit when she began her weight-loss journey -- all in all, she lost 150lbs and has managed to keep 125lbs off for seven years. Yet she cautions against going too hardcore. "Too many people live by the philosophy, 'Go hard or go home,' when it comes to fitness and beat themselves to the ground when they first start out, causing them to give up more easily," she explains. "Your workout doesn't have to be insane to be good."
内奥米•迪特是"激发改变"网站的博客博主,她在开始减肥之旅的时候就知道,应该首先把健身作为一种习惯——总而言之,她减掉了150磅,连续七年体重保持在125磅以下.然而她很小心,防止自己走得太极端.她解释说："很多人减肥的时候都信奉'要么努力要么回家'这个理念,第一次开始的时候就因任务太重把自己打倒了,这样更容易放弃.你健身不一定非要达到疯狂的地步才是好的."
Don't ban specific foods
不要给具体的食物下禁令
Making certain foods "off limits" can tempt you even more -- and almost always leads to overindulging. According to Lehman, she eats chocolate "almost every single day," yet has still managed to keep the weight off. "Of course, willpower still comes into play here, but don't cut your favorite foods out of your diet completely."
把某些食物设在"禁区"会带来更大的诱惑——几乎总会导致暴饮暴食.据雷曼说,她"几乎每天"都吃巧克力而依然保持着体重."当然,意志力在这里依然很重要,但不要把你最喜欢的食物从饮食中完全删掉."
Recruit someone who will hold you accountable
找个对你负责的人
An accountability buddy doesn't necessarily need to be a workout buddy, but they do need to be someone you can talk to when you're feeling unmotivated and who can remind you of your original goal, says Kelsey Byers, lifestyle coach and fitness blogger behind Good Morning Fit, who has lost 50lbs. Byers' husband helped her stick to her goals; social media can also help you find a supportive community if you don't feel like there's anyone nearby who can help you as you try to drop weight.
