Ok, here you are. You've reached that point. You might
have been here a few times before, but this time it is
different. You are going to lose weight and nothing, but
nothing, is going to stop you.
So, it took you quite a while to get where you are today
quite a while. Don't think that shedding those pounds is
going to take any less time. It is going to take time and
maybe a bit of exercise. It's not going to take a great
deal else. In fact, you're going to be doing less than you
are now, of one thing at least!
The reason you've been putting on weight? You've been
taking in more fat than you've been using up. It pretty
much is that simple. So, if you turn it round and decide
to use up more fat than you take in, guess what? You'll
lose weight. You know that, I know that, we all know that.
It's not rocket science is it? But why then is it so
darned difficult. Well, as human beings we are creatures
of habit. We eat at the same times every day. We like to
eat certain things time and again despite the fact that we
know they will make us put on weight. We even eat when we
aren't hungry. And then we wonder why we put on weight.
Losing weight then should be about changing habits. Yes,
eat breakfast in the morning (would it still be called
breakfast if you ate it lunchtime? - probably not!) but
make changes to your habits. Not huge changes, because
huge changes will make you revert to your old habits
quicker than you can say "darn, I've out on another five
pounds!". Make small changes. Eat a tiny bit less than
you used to for starters.
You also need to have some fixed ideas about how much
weight you want to lose and how you are going to go about
it. Write yourself a plan. In that plan you need to
include how much weight you are going to lose, you're going
to identify the little things you want to change, you're
going to write down the exercise you're going to do and
you're going to set yourself some timescales.
You must remember however that it took you a while to put
that weight on so you need to give yourself some time to
lose it. That point is crucial to your weight loss. If
you try to rush it you know what will happen. I'll spell
it out just in case you need a reminder. "I've spent a
whole week being good and I've just lost one pound, I'm
going to have a lovely donut (where it says donut put in
whatever you eat to cheer yourself up)". The day you
decided to eat that donut was a Friday so you say to
yourself "I'll start again Monday". By Monday, the pound
you lost has been replaced by another two.
That's the way it works. You knew it already but I wanted
to remind you. So anyway, get your plan with the goals,
the new habits, the exercise and the timescales. You are
going to start implementing your plan as soon as you finish
it. It might take you an hour to do but as soon as it's
finished that is it. There is no going back, ever.
I'm not going to give you advice about what you should or
shouldn't eat because you already know and anyway, there's
enough of that stuff on the net for you to read. Plus I'm
not a dietician and you might sue me if your plan said
that you should only ever eat oranges again for the rest of
your life because they had lots of Vitamin C in them.
If you've ever tried to lose weight before, and you
definitely have otherwise you wouldn't be reading this, you
know the first couple of days or even couple of weeks are
going to be hard. But that's why the changes you make need
to be tiny, almost un-noticeable. You will lose weight. I
know it, you know it. You've lost weight before.
So what's different this time I hear you ask. You're not
going to give in. When you write your plan you are making
a commitment never to go back to your old ways. Your tiny
changes will soon become normal and you will never want to
go back.
