Stop Trying to Lose Weight!
I have been visiting weight loss forums all over the Internet. I do this in order to get the “pulse” of the public – find out their needs. I hope to learn just what it is that they are looking for in a weight loss plan and maybe point them toward what works. But I have seen a trend here that I just have to address and that is the gal or guy who “tries” a diet and finds it doesn’t work.
Often you hear this person saying something like “I am skeptical about XYZ diet. I have tried so many diets and am tired of getting burned. Tell me this one is for real”.
OK. Let’s get one thing straight right now. It takes Two to Tango. Number 1 – a sound weight loss plan which includes regular sturdy exercise, but, more importantly than that, Number 2 – a person with commitment!!
I have addressed the Number 1 issue throughout my site here. I recommend several weight loss plans in my reports. There are several highly rated diet programs – any of which will serve the purpose to help you lose weight.
But folks, it’s time you STOP trying a diet. It is time to commit to sound health and fitness for a lifetime. Weight loss is a by product to long term, lifetime commitment to living right.
When we approach weight loss as our goal we tend to give up. We fuss that we didn’t lose 5 or 10 or whatever pounds so XYZ diet doesn’t work!
What really needs to be our goal is better health with weight loss being a by-product to better eating and exercise. It should be the result of better living choices.
It is time to take charge of the over all problem that got us fat in the first place – bad habits! Choose a weight loss plan that encourages smaller portions, 4 to 6 meals/snacks a day, made with fresh food. Make sure it includes exercise, the kind that makes your heart pump and your muscles get a work out.
You don’t have a disease that makes you fat. You have some badly formed habits – that of too much of the wrong stuff. And then doing it in front of the TV or computer.
Stop trying to lose weight. Stop blaming a diet plan. Take charge of your own health by taking charge of what goes into your mouth and what you do with your body.
