Has that tire round your middle started to get you down? Are you depressed by the sight of it in the mirror in the morning? What to do? Where to begin?
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 must not do is to suddenly stop eating and reduce your calorie intake dramatically. If you do the long-term consequences will be that you put on weight - not take it off.
How much exercise do you take? You have to be honest with yourself here. There is no point in convincing yourself you take enough exercise when in your heart of hearts you know perfectly well that you take very little.
Exercise is very important because it burns calories. It's also very good for you. We were not meant to sit around looking at television or playing computer games. Our bodies were meant to be used. It is certainly true that if you don't use it you lose it - something to remember! Losing weight effectively is about learning new habits, new slim habits that will help you to change. If you don't change, and are not prepared to change, no amount of dieting will ever result in permanent weight loss.
