Episode notes:
The two most important questions to ask yourself when working on maintaining your weight are: why are you losing weight and who are you doing it for?
The most successful plans for keeping weight off over the long-term involves a combination of eating healthy, physical activity, psychological intervention, and establishing a medical treatment plan with your healthcare team to help you manage your weight.
Be aware of vulnerable times when you are more likely to overeat, and have an alternate plan so you are not as susceptible during these situations. Make changes in your life to avoid the triggers in your life that can cause a setback.
Bias and stigma toward obesity exists and it’s important to have compassion for individuals. Weight is not a matter of willpower– genetics, biology and environment play a role in determining a person’s weight.
Remember even just maintaining your weight means you’ve improved your health! Being ‘stuck’ in a plateau is not negative. For help with reaching your best weight, reach out to a weight management medical expert.
