Help Me I Want To LOse Weight!

By Henry John

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?

What have you done wrong? What is it that's made you this way? There are probably many reasons and it's a good idea to think about what they are. If you do you'll have a very good idea what to do.

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.

Have you any idea how many calories there are in the food that you eat every day. Is it a lot of a little? You may think it's not much, but it may be much more than you think. Do you know how many calories you should take in every day? You need to be aware of these facts before you go any further or you are likely to make some fundamental mistakes.

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.

This might be an embarrassing question, but do you know how much exercise you take in a week? Be honest now! It's not very much is it? Do you actually set out to take exercise every day? Is it something in your mind that you always do as a matter of routine?

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.
