Losing weight is possible but how to keep away from those long-lost pounds is still a query. When you start losing weight, it tends to become easier initially.

Even if you have somehow managed to lose up to the desired target, there still remains a chance to get it back. It is related to too many factors. With the passage of time and with experience you'll know what factors affect you most but right now for your ease, I'm summing up a few things you need to know and have to do if you want to stay slim and smart.

Achieving your goal never means that you are allowed to do what you did in past. If you do so you will gain weight faster this time and may be more than you had before. The purpose of the diet and physical routine was to build a regular routine for you that you are going to follow in the future. I'm not saying that you can not stop this tough routine, ever in your life. Now you can eat whatever you want BUT in a certain amount and at a certain time. Try to stick to your diet plan but do eat in between, enjoy parties go to restaurants but not regularly. Keep a limit to it. Similarly, keep your physical activities. But now you can reduce the time and duration. For example, if you used to have exercised 5 times a week, now you can do it three times a week.
2. Check your weight on regular basis:
It is very necessary to have a weight scale. Buy your own bathroom scale and keep it in a place where you can see it on a regular basis. Keep it in your bedroom, bathroom, dressing room, lounge, and kitchen or at your workplace. Do not forget to weigh yourself every day. Do it in the evening or before going to bed. That is the time when you weigh your maximum. In the mornings your weight is always reduced, which gives you a false idea that you've lost weight and consequently you eat more that day. Checking on a regular basis keeps your body in shape. Because it is easier for anyone to lose a pound or two but it becomes dreadful when you have to lose in stones.
3. Keep your medical checkups updated:
Get your routine medical checkups and don't forget to check for all those things that tend to increase weight. Food allergies, thyroid problems, hormonal imbalances, stress, water retention, growth of any abnormal mass in the body, lack of necessary nutrients, and certain heart diseases. There are a few physiological factors that increase your weight but they are not alarming as they reverse with the passage of time. Pregnancy and Pre-Menstrual Syndrome (PMS) are the most common examples. In pregnancy of course the weight of the baby is added along with the weight of the placenta and intrauterine structures. Whereas in PMS there is water retention due to hormonal imbalance. But it soon relieves as soon as bleeding starts.
4. Stick to your size:
Try your level best to stick to your size. Whether you are size 6, 8, or 10, glue to it. If you buy a dress of your size and you think it is tight or uncomfortable at a place or two. Don't do alterations to the dress, do alterations yourself own yourself. Trim your body. Lose some pounds to fit into it. Believe me, if you'll get into the habit of getting alterations, you'll keep on gaining weight in a disguised manner.
5. Ask your spouse or friends to help you:
It is very important to let know the people around you how difficult it was to lose those pounds. This will help you a lot. Your friends and your spouse will appreciate you for that which will enhance your self-control. Moreover, they will be reluctant to offer you something to eat that is not healthy for you. One more thing is that ask them to tell you honestly if they think you are looking plump or fat.
