if you think that just eating less and exercising you will lose 100 pounds in the next week…I am sorry to say, you are probably in for disappointment! It’s just not reasonable to think that you are going to lose a bunch of weight, and keep it off, in such a short amount of time.
Now, if you were to take the philosophy of “One Pound at a Time,” as what is suggested within these pages, you are going to have a much easier time adjusting to your new diet/nutrition/exercise program, and you will be more likely to succeed AND CONTINUE TO SUCCEED!
Why Do You Wish To Lose Weight?
Because your spouse wants you to?
Because your kids want you to?
Because your doctor tells you to?
Because your friends tell you to?
I suggest you write down your own reasons for wanting to lose weight. Here are some ideas:
- I want to lose weight because I want to gain a healthy respect for my body
- I want to lose weight because I want to live longer for my family
- I want to lose weight because I want to enjoy life more by doing the things that my weight restricts me from doing
- I want to lose weight because I want to feel great about my myself and my appearance
- I want to lose weight because I want to travel and enjoy all that life has to offer me
- I want to lose weight to have the strength and energy I need to enjoy life like having the energy to chase my children
- I want to lose weight so that I can be an active participant in my own life and not just a spectator
Other Reasons Why You May Want To Lose Weight
No doubt a big reason why you want to lose weight is linked to your physical appearance. This scratches far below the surface than just wanting to lose weight to fit into something or simply hating the way your thighs look.
Excess weight can impact on self esteem. No one wants to be obese because it has so many negative connotations in our society.
Because we believe we are not attractive and appealing to others can make us rethink our own self worth and value. This can lead to social and emotional problems and distort the way we perceive ourselves as well as how we interact with others.
This can become a vicious cycle within itself where we eat because of how we feel to medicate the pain yet often end up feeling worse along with gaining even more weight. The cycle continues.
Take your time and think of something that is truly worthy of you and you will stick with it like glue. While doctors, your family, and/or your friends may tell you that you need to lose weight, the one person that is the most important in your decision to follow through is YOU. YOU must want to lose the weight for yourself – FIRST!
Choosing to lose weight and maintaining your weight loss is going to require a life-change. A change that you must be 100% committed to, because without that dedication, you are already set up to fail.
One way to help you in your Journey is to think about your Journey in very small steps.
One of your very first few steps is making the commitment to succeeding, truly believing you can succeed, and picturing yourself having already succeeded. That is a key component.
So, are you committed to the Journey? Are you ready for a New You? Is that a “YES”?
GREAT! You are well on your way to being successful!
One of the first challenges you will face is discovering how you are going to lose weight. There are thousands upon thousands of places both online and offline that claim to have the “magic” formula to weight loss.
Please realize that weight loss does not just happen overnight.
It will take time, commitment, and effort on your part.
The good thing is that you are off to a great start with having made that commitment on the previous page!
On the following pages are some of the tips and techniques to start your Journey. These are some realistic ideas to help you succeed, as well as resources you can use to help you find or create the best plan for you.
Your plan will need to include a mixture of both diet changes and exercise. While you can lose some weight with only doing one or the other, to be successful you need a good combination of both!
The reason is that once you start losing weight with your diet change, you should include exercise to help tone up your new body.
Don’t worry though … it can be done, and it doesn’t have to be painful…and everything you will ever need is right here in this site!
