The old saying about “everything comes to he who waits” appears to have little relevance in today’s fast-paced world of instant gratification. It sometimes seems that nobody has the time or the inclination to wait for anything anymore.
But it’s important to bear in mind that patience is a vital part of losing Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) weight. The way to guarantee lasting PCOS weight loss and its attendant health benefits is to shed those extra pounds slowly and steadily by being careful about what you eat and getting regular exercise.
Fad PCOS diets that promise huge and rapid weight loss omit to mention that, by not allowing your body to get used to change, you are more than likely to put the weight back on when you come off the fad diet. Even worse for your morale, you may find yourself becoming heavier than before.
The way to avoid this fate is to set realistic targets that are not too easy and not too hard. Write them down and stick to them. Aim to lose 1/2 lb to a 1 lb a week and focus on the long-term end result – a new, slimmer you, enjoying the greater sense of well-being that a balanced, PCOS nutritional diet and regular exercise will bring.
Make yourself happy by thinking of how much fresh energy you’ll have. Picture yourself choosing all the new clothes you’ll be able to wear.
Sticking to a set of goals is, of course, easier said than done. But without goals and time frames, your PCOS diet and exercise will happen only when you feel like it or when it is convenient. Without having something to work towards, you will be less motivated to lose weight and avoid the harmful consequences of obesity, which can include Diabetes and the cluster of Cardiovascular Diseases known as Metabolic Syndrome or Syndrome X. An underlying cause of obesity is often Insulin Resistance, which creates an imbalance in blood sugar and insulin levels.
If you have a goal in mind, you’ll be much more focused and consistent. This really is the secret to losing Polycystic Ovarian Syndrom weight. You must make weight loss a passion until your goals are met. If you want something badly enough, you will achieve it.
Keep to your healthy new regime for three weeks and you should find things get easier after that, as it becomes second nature. There’s no greater motivation than beginning to see and feel the effects of weight loss.
If you achieve your goals, your PCOS health and appearance will benefit for the rest of your life. The reason is obvious. Looking and feeling so much better, you won’t ever want to return to the “old” you.
