Tip #21 - Train Yourself To Be A Good Eater

Aside from the obvious goal of losing weight, another goal of a weight loss effort should be to train yourself to be a good eater. There are so many stories of a person losing 20 pounds and then gaining 30. Do not let this happen to you. Change your way of life forever. One way to achieve this is to avoid going on a "diet" and instead create a new healthy diet. By healthy diet I mean something that you can use for weight loss and weight maintenance. At this point, I look at a bag of chips and say I do not need to eat that. I have created a way of life and diet that I can follow for the rest of my life. It is this concept that one must harness in order to not only lose weight, but also to keep it off. By teaching yourself what is good to eat and what you should not be eating (as well as how much of everything), you will successfully change your life by never having to worry about your weight ever again. As long as you can train yourself (with the help of a weight watchers or dietician) what you should eat now and in the future, you will never again have to struggle with the weight loss problem. And that should be the ultimate goal in losing weight, to make it a one-time experience.
