When you look in the mirror in the morning and then wish you hadn’t, then it’s time to start to think about doing something about the large tyre that has appeared round your middle.
The first thing to do is to have a really good look at what you are doing wrong. Don’t try and kid yourself, if you’ve put on weight there is a reason - actually, probably several.
If you’re serious about losing weight it is going to take resolve on your part. Losing weight is not something that happens by magic, it has got to be worked at. Are you prepared t make the effort? If not then you will be wasting your time embarking on the project.
It takes determination if you’re going to succeed. It means saying goodbye to the chocolate bars, to the cream cakes and to the delicious bread you like so much. You have to start to become aware of the calorie content of what you’re eating.
Do you know what the value of calories there is in what you eat every day? Do you know how much energy you use in a day - or how many calories you eat? You need to know this.
What you do not want to do is to just reduce your calorie intake because you believe it’s what you need to do. This course of action will prove to be disastrous. In fact it is very likely to result in you actually putting on weight rather than taking it off.
What about exercise? Do you know how much you take? Do you take any at all? Exercise, if it is to be of any use to you at all, has to be ‘intentional’ exercise. Exercise that makes a difference and actually gets your blood flowing.
If you want to lose weight effectively you will need to sign up to change. Long-term w3eight loss doesn’t come from dieting, but from changing what you do. You need to begin to behave differently. To learn new habits, new slim habit that will help you to make permanent weight loss a reality.
