Factors for Successful Weight Loss Maintenance & Self-Growth
Successful weight loss maintainers have common traits such as regular exercise, regular weighing, cognitive restraint in diet, social support, reduced snacking, and a sense of forming a new identity. This new identity involves making drastic lifestyle changes, including changing friend groups to align with new behaviors and avoiding environments that may lead to relapse. Bettering oneself can evoke insecurity in others, leading to attempts to sabotage progress. Supportive partners play a crucial role in maintaining lifestyle changes.
