As the leaves drop, the rain sprinkles, and the trees change color, you may notice that as the temperatures cool, so does your mood. With less sunlight, tans wearing off, and outdoor activities dwindling down, it’s important to continue to think of your body.
Marna Goldstein, expert and author of Naturally Thin Secrets, shares that all too often people begin pouring on the pounds once the weather cools off and jackets and sweaters come on. Goldstein states, “My busy season begins this season as men and women find the scales slowly increasing and their activity decreasing. I begin hearing more frustration and anger with their bodies as fall hits.”
Goldstein recommends these seven sure-fire tips to make sure you don’t fall off the wagon with your weight this FALL season.
1. Find sexy, figure-flattering clothes. It’s easy to begin getting ready for the summer as you think about tank tops and bikinis. Once sweaters and jackets come on, make sure you don’t get in the habit of neglecting your body. Don’t hide behind big sweaters and sweats. Find sexy, figure-flattering clothes that keep you warm and show off your svelte figure at the same time. You feel confident and confidence always leads to keeping your weight down.
2. Get rid of the old and fashion flawed. Dig through magazines and find fashion-forward fall trends. Head to your closets and put together fun and hip outfits. Throw away anything that doesn’t make you feel like a thousand bucks and that makes you feel out of date. Get a long-length mirror and twirl around so you can see all parts of you. Remember, how you feel during the day in your clothes makes all the difference in the world.
3. Make a pact with your feelings. The key to keeping your weight down has almost everything to do with your feelings. If you feel down in the dumps, your body will too. Keep your feelings light and energetic. Write down in the morning how you want to feel during the day about yourself and your body. Make a pact to feel great about your body this season, and do everything you can to feel light and beautiful.
4. Get out in the sun. Yes, of course you should wear sun protection, but make sure you see the sun during the day. With the sun going down earlier, and less sunlight during the day, make sure you get some sun during your lunch or breaks. Light feeds your soul and helps you feel alive and energetic. Get out in some light and watch your spirits soar.
5. Do the sexy walk and walk tall. Get out of your chair during the day and begin strutting your stuff. Sway your hips, cross one ankle over the other as you walk, and walk with confidence. At work, there’s no reason you can’t get up and feel good about your body. When you stand tall and walk sexy, you feel tall and thin. The better you feel about your body now, the less work you’ll have to do to get back in shape during the spring and summer seasons.
6. Get inspired this season. Pick just one additional physical activity you can do that would be above and beyond your normal routine. Whether it’s a walk for a great cause, a 5k run, a hike, or playing Frisbee in the rain, just pick one and stick to it.
7. Strip down. We see ourselves half naked during the summer, whether it’s wearing shorts, sporting little tank tops to show off our neckline and arms, or wearing sun dresses. Make sure you don’t go nine months without seeing your body, only to be frightened when you go to wear next summer’s favorites. Get naked, sleep naked, and make sure you see your body. Wear shorts around the house, go on vacations where you can lie in the sun or buy yourself sexy lingerie so that you don’t hide that beautiful body of yours all season.
