Often, starting a diet is no big deal but sticking to it is very much. Every woman wants to achieve commendable weight loss and begins a diet looking forward to reaching the goal in a few days time. However, most times, diet plans fail to see light at the end of the tunnel due to lack of patience, temptation and several other reasons. Here’s what you can do to stay committed to dieting.

1. Go on a shopping spree. Buy yourself all those clothes you’ve been yearning to wear but all a size smaller. This way, every time you look into your closet; you can fight the urge to down that pizza or mud pie.

2. Join a homogenous group of individuals working on same or similar goals. This way, healthy competition will keep you committed to your diet and will also help you steer clear of distractions that usually occur in the way of reaching the objective.

3. Start slowly and proceed gradually. We all have the enthusiasm and excitement to reach the objective quickly and in the pursuit; start crash dieting or cut down even the required amount of daily calories to see dramatic results on day 1 itself. This is not just impractical but also ridiculous. Lack of desired results causes disappointment and thereby the individual stops the diet plan abruptly. Instead, proceed gradually and wait for results to happen. This is healthier, safer and more effective.

4. Stop shopping for junk or eating out regularly. When you are in a supermarket to pick up your groceries, skip the aisles filled with processed foods and junk. Do not even give in to the temptation of just looking around because it seldom just stops with that. If there is no junk at home, you are not going to eat it. A simple logic for fitness easily decoded.

5. Control urges to eat out. Or at least reduce the number of times you have restaurant food in a month. Keep healthy fruits, cereals and greens in easy access so you can pop in something ready whenever you are hungry.
