Celebrate the beauty of being
alive! Looks and feel better. Being healthy and slim
is the best way to start.
Success can be measured on a number
of levels. It's important to measure your growth by
the new healthy habits you're adopting as well as by
your appearance. Long-term decreases in medical harms,
injury, and other health risks and an improved quality
of life, with or without weight loss, are the most important
measures of success.
Short- and medium-term changes can also be measured
regularly during the process. These include obvious
changes in health-related behavior patterns such as
a decreased reliance on medications, increased ability
to perform physical activity, a reduced intake of fat,
and the increased intake of dietary fiber, vitamins,
and minerals in your diet.
If you've started making slight changes in how your
food is cooked or prepared, or if you're reading labels
at the grocery store and are discovering new tastes
and textures, you're making great improvements towards
a healthier lifestyle. When you feel good about yourself
and acknowledge the changes you're making along the
way, you're more likely to keep moving forward on your
path.
Physical indicators of progress towards a healthier
body fat distribution include the waist circumference
and waist-hip ratio (WHR). Because
abdominal obesity
has consistently been associated with risk factors for
diabetes and heart disease,
any reduction in the waist circumference or in the WHR
is a positive step towards a healthier body fat distribution,
regardless of weight
loss.
