Solutions for weight-loss setbacks
Everyone who successfully makes changes in his or her life has experienced setbacks. It's better to expect them and plan for dealing with them. Identifying potential roadblocks — a big holiday meal or an office party, for example — and brainstorming strategies to overcome them can help you stay on course with your weight-loss goals.
Have questions about sex? Ask your doctor
Your health has a big impact on your sex life and vice versa. Don't be embarrassed about discussing sex with your doctor. Your doctor can be a reliable source of information on sexual health. He or she can help you manage chronic conditions and medications that affect your sex life. Your doctor can help you understand how sexual activity may change throughout your life.
Check your weight-loss readiness
Weight loss requires commitment. Ask yourself the following questions to help you determine your readiness: 1. Am I willing to change my eating and activity habits? 2. Do I have the time to spend on making changes? 3. Or am I too distracted by stress and other pressures? Talk to your doctor if you need help addressing stressors or emotions that seem like obstacles to your readiness.
