Lose Weight During COVID-19

Communicate To Your Body

Have you thought of communicating with your body and talk about your weight loss needs? I have, and guess what? My body listened.

It's true I used the scale as the main communication device. I stepped on it many times feeling anxious, concerned, or even frustrated. But, towards the end of the journey, I was pleasantly surprised. I lost 10 bounds. Yay.  Working on your body to lose weight can be a great motivator during this pandemic and stay-at-home orders.  So, I am sharing with you my A, B, C plan. Ask your body if the plan is agreeable. Ask today.   

A. Attack The Size of The Meal
  1. Cut your meal into half; eat one and save the other for later. 
  2. Use a cup to measure the size of the meal; eat only one cup.   
                                                                                B. Be Strong and Weigh Yourself Daily
Communicate with Your Body and Lose Weight
  1. Stay on top of your weight and take time step on the scale every day early in the morning and before you go to bed. 
  2. Record the number and then evaluate the areas your diet that can be improved upon.
C. Commit to Exercise
  1. Place the sport's equipment near your working area and take advantage of your lunch break and your coffee break to exercise. 
  2. Put your workout time on your phone to get reminders and adhere to them

Treat your body as a partner on the weight loss journey. Listen to the needs and work on them. Adjust your dieting system as you go along this journey. It worked for me and I hope it will work for you.

  • I love this, and agree wholeheartedly. I was stuck at one weight, and it didn't really make sense. So I asked my body to let go and release so I could get to my goal. My body responded positively! It just didn't know what I wanted. Thank you!
