Boredom – the diet destroyer

‍
Losing weight successfully isn't just about a good diet. It’s about having a good attitude, too. Boredom with food, boredom with meals, boredom with cooking, boredom with your lifestyle – these are all very common reasons why a diet can be destroyed. Even if you have been dieting successfully for a while, it never hurts to take stock of how you feel about your weight-loss programme so far.
Boredom with lifestyle
This often leads to the inability or disinclination to do something different and more enjoyable because we forget how to

Take five minutes to think about your priorities and then re-order the list below into order of precedence:

• Do you want to be healthy
• Do you want to be slimmer?
• Do you want to have more energy?
• Do you want to eat the right foods?
• Do you want to do more exercise?

If you have answered “yes” to any of these but don’t know where to start, have one day when you switch off your TV for two hours and go and do something more interesting instead. Whether it’s taking the dog for a walk, going to see a film or visiting the zoo, the activity you choose should be enjoyable and something to look forward to.
