How do you like the way you look? Are you satisfied with they way you present yourself to the rest of the world? Are you the confident person you know you can be or do avoid interacting with others simply because you feel uncomfortable and self conscious? Today is your lucky day because today you can make a choice that can change your destiny. If you are sick and tired of living a life of defeat, then you will want to listen up. Commit to the process of transforming your body today and before Obama takes the oath of office on January 20th, you'll feel and look like you've had a million dollar makeover.

For you step one is to simply get you up and out of that sedentary lifestyle. The key is to get your metabolism going as quickly as possible. To do this, wake up just 10 minutes early and take a brisk walk around your home two to three times.

After that, you must make sure that you always eat a healthy breakfast. There are those who say that eating in the morning is the most important meal of the day however is it really. If you eat donuts and other pastries, is that really good for you? To have a real impact on your figure, put the donuts and kolaches down and pick up the fresh fruit and yogurt.

Stop poisoning your body. Someday soon, you should really take a good hard look at what you put into your body. The food you eat serves as the energy your body will use to make it through the day. Are you really going to try to make it with candy, soda and chips? Proper nutrition goes beyond breakfast and must continue all day long. You may find that you like the healthy food more so than the alternative.

Put away your coffee mugs and break open a case of bottled water. You may not know it but caffeinated drinks like coffee or soda actually rob your body of the nutrients it needs to look and feel great. The point here is simple, give up the crap you put into your body and call it food. Next, eat food that is alive and not processed.

To lose weight you are going to have to cut how many calories you are eating per day. The key to losing weight is that you burn more calories than you are eating. In most cases, this means that you are going to have to cut out some of the food that you are eating.

However, you have to make sure that you are eating enough good calories throughout the day. Spend time finding low calorie foods and incorporating those into mini meals throughout the day. By doing this you will keep your metabolism constantly working which helps to keep its speed up.

Keep a diary of everything you eat. I would also encourage you to document the time of day in which you eat as well. You will likely find an interesting pattern. The key though is that you can not correct what you do not know exists. This daily eating diary will serve a starting point from where you will grow.

Finally, you need to keep your motivation going strong. One of the biggest weight loss pitfalls is that your motivation can wane. Find ways to keep yourself enthusiastic about the positive lifestyle changes that you are taking on. By doing this, you are guaranteed to see a newer slimmer you by inauguration day! - 15255
