Regaining some of the weight...

We all need some “weight-regain protection”- here are some key things to think about if the weight starts to creep back:



1. Fear: What am I afraid of, if anything, about losing weight? Could fear be the source of my self-sabotage?


2. Negative Self Image/Body Image: Am I battling myself? Do I not give myself credit despite my efforts to lose weight?


3. Deprivation: Was I feeling physically or emotionally deprived while I was on track?


4. Support: Did I lose my support system that I was using for accountability?


Trainer Tip
When you're working out it's important to incorporate weight training into your routine. You'll burn 8 to 10 calories a minute lifting weights. Also, lifting weights gives you a metabolic spike for an hour after your workout because your body is trying hard to help your muscles recover.
