Weight Loss Success Can Be Yours
Weight loss requires a plan, and more than a plan, weight loss requires that you take action on and with that plan. You will succeed as long as you stick to the weight loss plan at hand. To quit is to fail, to keep working at it even though the results are not coming fast enough will result in success. Change you plan a little here, and a little there, and never give up.
Weight loss requires some work
To achieve any weight loss goal, you will need to do some actual physical movement. To cut down on calories and food intake is good, but that alone will not achieve a healthy life. You need to have some exercise. I hear you groaning over there and making excuses, but exercise does not mean going out and running a marathon, it means doing something besides sitting.
One thing to do that is easy is to stretch; stretch and stretch some more. Before actually doing any exercises and whenever you just feel like it. Stretch when you wake up, stretch when you stand up, stretch while waiting in line, get used to making your parts move. In addition, a little stretching after your work out will help avoid any soreness in your body.
Rome was not built in a day
It is not a good idea to go for the gold when first starting out. Avoid the “push” or any marine corps mottos (like no pain no gain) and just start easy. Do not try too hard, one push up a day until it is easy, then two a day, and so on. Find the level of exercise and training that suits you; it should be easy enough for you to be comfortable, but not too convenient that it will not be much of a challenge.
Weight loss is not about being an Olympic athlete; it is about getting yourself healthy and fit. If you want to be an athlete you can work on that later, but for now, keep in mind the goal is to get healthy. Set your goal, write it down and then keep working at it until that goal is achieved, then set the next goal and work towards that, and the next goal, and the next goal, until you have your healthy and happy life.
The habit of exercise
Right now, you do not have a habit of exercising; you have the habit of just the opposite. You will always have habits, that is human nature; the idea is to have good habits that lead to a healthy lifestyle. To change your habits you must start out by doing something repeatedly until it becomes easy. One of the best ways to start exercising is just a little every day. After a while, you will be used to a little exercise every day, and then you can add a little more. In a few months, you will find yourself looking forward to your exercise time rather than dreading it, as you do now.
The greatest tool for weight loss is being honest with yourself; you must look at you with a keen eye for detail, and see what is there. To go on a weight loss plan you must be honest with yourself and stay with it. To cheat is only hurting you. In the words of Shakespeare “To thine own self be true”. Be firm with your ego and demand compliance from your inner self. To be fit, trim, and happy will take some effort at first. Stay with it, never give up, and you will find yourself becoming happier and fitter every day.
