Social effect

Alternate your dietary and workout approaches

Attaining hundred percent
If you are working very hard on your fitness and you don’t have any internal problem, then your body gladly responds to your efforts and you will lose oodles of weight, but after sometime you will find that your body is not losing weight like before. For example, suppose your weight is 300 lbs and you want to lose 120 lbs in a year, but you have succeeded in losing only 100 lbs and now your weight is stuck at 200 lbs. You desperately want to lose those 20 lbs then we will suggest you to look at the brighter part that is you have already lost a big amount of weight. Therefore, just keep on living the healthy lifestyle and don’t stress about the 20 lbs because you will eventually lose it. You will achieve it by your consistent efforts and not by giving up.
Afraid of embarrassment
If you are not going to the gym just because you think that people will make fun of you for being overweight or too fat. Then shake your head and ask yourself a simple question ‘Why gyms exist in our world?’, of course to make you fit and healthy. Think positively that you can get proper guidance on workout, you can gain friends with fitness experience and someone who has similar problem like you and you can gain motivation. If you still shy about going there, then you can hire a personal trainer, follow a workout plan, build a gym at home or take up some sport. Sitting idle and doing nothing is worse than embarrassment because you will lose those extra pounds if you overcome your fear, but doing nothing will only add pounds in your body.
Stop Comparing
If you think that after a month of strict diet and workout session why you have not lost weight just like your friend or less than that then it will affect you negatively. Don’t do diet hopping just because your friend or any other person has gotten good results from a certain diet. Every human body is different and respond differently to diet, exercise and other factors. So, stick to your diet and workout plan which will give you results if you put your honest efforts and faith in it.
