If you are looking for an answer to your question "How do I get rid of my love handles?", I understand your problem. Losing love handles can be one of the most difficult parts of a weight loss program. They are just so stubborn!
In this article, I will share with you the most important secret for getting rid of love handles (or for achieving any other weight loss goal you have).
What is that secret, you ask? Simple - I will look at how to set your weight loss goals. That sounds simple right? But trust me, if you do not have specific and measurable goals, you are going to have a very difficult time losing weight. You are also going to have an even harder time keeping that weight off.
How To Set Your Goals
Let me repeat what I said above - setting weight loss goals is the most important part of any weight loss project. But you can't set just any goal. You need to set the right weight loss goals.
Let me tell you a little story.
I was once overweight. I didn't just have a problem with love handles, I was also overweight. And I went on fad diet after fad diet, losing weight, and then gaining weight. Losing weight, and then gaining weight. Sounds familiar? You know why I could never keep my weight off?
It was not because I didn't have goals. I had goals - lose 20 pounds here, lose 30 pounds there. It was because I didn't have the right goals...
So, I grew tired of constantly growing and shrinking. I went out to find answers to my ever elusive question of "How do I get rid of my love handles?" . And, what I found out changed my life forever...
My secret? I learned how to set effective goals.
And, I'm going to share that with you here. My whole strategy can be summed up in 1 simple rule:
I only set goals that I have control over
Let me repeat that (yes, its that important) - you need to have control over the goals you set. Think about it - what is a goal? A goal is something that you set for yourself, that you need to accomplish. The more control you have over your goal, the more likely that YOU will be able to accomplish it.
Wouldn't you say that having a goal to lose 5 pounds every week is much more difficult to accomplish than a goal of exercising 4 times a week? How much control do you have over your body - can you force yourself to lose 5 pounds each and every week? No, you can't. I call these types of goals No Control Goals. Your body decides on the exact amount of weight that you are going to lose, and by setting such a goal, you are letting go of the ultimate responsibility of achieving your goal.
The best way to set a goal is to keep the accomplishment of that goal in your hands. So, instead of taking the easy way out and letting go of the responsibility of achieving the goal, rather focus on setting goals that you can take responsibility for. This concept is one of the most important aspects of any weight loss program and is critical if you want to eliminate love handles.
