Although there is so much information available about weight loss, the same
mistakes are made again and again every day. We are not talking about small errors when you ate a piece of pie that was not included in the plan, but big mistakes that could destroy your efforts to lose weight.
Understanding these errors can help you develop the attitude that will lead to permanent weight loss for you.

Error 1: The attitude of "all or nothing"

Proponents of the attitude "all or nothing" in their diet often choose a diet complex and unrealistic to be almost impossible for them to maintain. Before starting, they will find in the kitchen everything is not in the plan and put it in the trash. They believe they can be the perfect maker system, and thus they will be for one day, three days, seven days or even weeks. So inevitably it will happen something that gives them a feeling they can no longer maintain their plan one more day. Suddenly they are totally discouraged and the system is stopped. They then go into the store and buy everything they put in the trash last week and starting to regain the weight they lost, as soon as possible.

If you're that kind of system maker, you should ask yourself some crucial questions. Do you really lose weight permanently, or just lose a few pounds so you can have fun putting  them back again? The way  is to make small changes to your feeding to achieve a slow but steady weight loss.

Error 2: The attitude of sacrifice

Another common mistake is to consider your diet as a period of sacrifice. You deprive yourself of foods you like best when you're on your way to reach your target weight loss. You may be having a good eating plan and be very successful in losing weight, but what happens when you reach your goal? You do not even learn to eat "bad food" in moderation from the very beginning, you may lose control at any time. It is preferable to include a little of everything in your diet and learn to appreciate it in small quantities. Yes, even chocolate!

Error 3: Failure in the definition of the objective

Setting realistic goals is essential in any plan for weight loss. The objectives should be clear, realistic and in writing. Although it is likely that you have an ideal weight in your mind, unless you are only very slightly overweight it is probably too far from helpful. A goal would be more useful as an example of losing 1 pound a week for five weeks, then a 1 / 2 pound per week. Some weeks you lose more, some weeks you lose less, some weeks you may even gain weight, but if you track your progress on a chart, you'll see the ups and downs are natural and do not stop they advance slowly but surely towards your main goal.

If you've made mistakes, do not worry. The most important point in the system like so many other things is to go forward. Learn from your failures and your successes, consider your failures as learning opportunities and next steps to success and never make a mistake as an excuse to stop. The only way to achieve your goal is to make a permanent commitment to become a healthier person.
Remember that eating normally is also eating more some days and eat less on other days. Learn to enjoy foods in moderation and you have every chance to avoid these mistakes in your diet.
