Summary: Why are you not losing weight even though you’re trying to diet and exercise? It’s probably one or more of these 10 reasons.
With the holidays behind us and spring now here, many of us are starting to think about shedding the winter weight that’s so easy to gain in the colder months. While you may feel like you’re putting in effort and not seeing any results, there are certain choices or habits that you may be sweeping under the rug without realizing how much they’re hindering your efforts to lose some body fat. Remember that change doesn’t magically happen. You aren’t going to see improvements in your health and fitness unless you make real changes in your lifestyle.
Here are ten reasons many people aren’t losing weight:
- Mindset and excuses.
- Too much alcohol.
- Eating out too much.
- Not getting enough sleep.
- Lack of stress management.
- Eating too much.
- Eating too little.
- Not having a plan.
- Too many sweets and treats.
- No accountability.
How many of these apply to you? Be honest with yourself! If you’re an all or nothing kind of person, then dive in all at once, but for the rest of us, choose two of those things and make changing them a priority. Then pick two more and make them happen as well. You can make a change, you just have to commit yourself!
