When I Worked At A Weight Loss Center...
Written by Jodi Sheppard
It was surprising the thin people who still were disatisfied with their bodies. However, they continued to lose weight and were successful because not only did they want to follow the diet plan, but they were willing to put in the time to excercise. Counseling one woman, we would take her blood pressure, weigh her, only to find out that she hadn't changed in weight. This happened week after week and she became frustrated. I begged her to do a little exercise because we had seen so many combining the two who become very successful of all different sizes. n Recently, I laughed as I watched a "Saturday Night Live" skit where the woman asks what she should do to lose weight?
The answer from some Godly voice was "Eat Less, Move More." I think of this every time I am challenged with a weight gain.
Yes, everyone as they get older struggles with weight now and then. Does this make you feel better? It's not just you...
The question is how can we control this thing called fat?
Well, there are little secrets that you can use, and then there is exercise. If you were an exercise fanatic, you could probably keep it off. But when I was in the industry, I saw even those runners who exercised all the time unable to keep a perfect figure. The bottom line is that you must combine all lifestyles of, food choices, exercise, and also a healthy mental outlook. I find that if I can go to a support system or manual for encouragement, this helps. That is why I am going to share a book that I found recently that will encourage you to stay on track. Healthy eating is a lifestyle choice. nnhttp://www.trueweightlosstips.com/butterflyfit/true/nn Habits are difficult to break, but the good news is that they can be broken, you are not "stuck" like you might feel today. You might be saying to yourself right now, "I can't." Oh, but you can! And with little effort. Remember......In simple terms eat less, move more. Even eating great food, a little less, and moving a little more should start to take it off...But if you want more help, here are the 101 best kept secrets which I promised you......
