Getting on YOUR Weight Loss Track

Have you ever wondered why it is that you might not be losing weight? How many of us have tried diet after diet after diet only to lose a few pounds and then gain them and more all back? I know I have, many times over the years, but after many trials and tribulations I have a few strong foundations that always seem to work for me when I want to lose weight. As long as I follow them, I not only lose weight, I keep it OFF! Now don't get all nervous and think I am going to say you need to change EVERYTHING you do, but there are some changes that are needed for any program to work.

First and most important you need to make sure that you are doing this for YOU and ONLY YOU! You will not succeed with any certain and long term success if you are only losing weight because someone else wants you to, or if you are doing it just for a dance or reunion. You need to sit down and evaluate why you want to lose weight. List your reasons and make sure they are reasonable. For better health, to lower your cholesterol, high blood pressure, to feel better about yourself, to be a better parent, wife, person in general (for your own reasons) are all good reasons. Anything else may be too trivial and not be a strong enough background for you to keep up your way of life once you get started and then start to see success. Also set some goals for yourself and at first, make them �baby step' goals, such as four pounds this month, then work up to eight pounds the next month, then to see yourself in a size "x" within say 3 months or even 6 months. Let your imagination go wild but don't allow yourself to believe it will happen overnight cause it won't but don't give up….it can and WILL happen, if you persevere!
