Are You Having Weight Problems?

You know all about the excessive weight you are carrying but sometimes people just tend to ignore thing such as weight loss or in this case weight gain! One of the most important things you need to do is change your habits, both food and otherwise. Losing weight really isn’t as hard as it may seem but mostly people think it’s the exact opposite or worse yet; they aren’t willing to give up their cakes and cookies and greasy fatty foods! Listen there are over 80% of people in our country alone (US) that are over weight!

I can only imagine how bad this is all over the entire world! A lot of people think, “well I’m already overweight and nothing can be done” or “well I already have this disease or that disease, I may as well just forget it”. No! Did you know that if you have something like diabetes from being overweight that losing weight can actually help the diabetes? Or that a lot of heart problems can be fixed by adding exercise to your life?

Exercising and changing your diet are both essential parts of not only your life, staying healthy and staying fit, but it could also be the answer to a lot of problems you already have! But how does someone even get started with weight loss? Can you read books? Yes! Can you check out sites online? Yes! Can you talk to your doctor? Yes! There are all positive decisions.

The main point is that you make a decision and you stick with it. Yes it’s going to be hard. And yes it’s going to be painstaking. But ya know what you have to either choose life or choose what you have right this very second. And if eating greasy and fatty foods is more important to you than living, go right ahead and keep living the way you are right now! But if your tired of being embarrassed about the “weigh” you look, and if your tired of your knees and your back hurting from the excess weight, and your tired of being depressed?

Change it! In the end only you can make the choice and actually stick with it. This doesn’t mean you have to be a super health freak and run 20 miles a day and eat nothing but vegetables. But what it does mean is that you start becoming more active, you increase your exercise intake and you decrease your sweets, fats and carbs. Most people allow themselves at least one “cheat” day. The way I do this (even now) is I have one night a week where I let myself cheat. Maybe I went to a party and the cake looks really good, so I let myself have a piece as a reward for being so good.

But! You need to also not do the cheat “trick” until you have your cravings under control. Can you imagine someone allowing themselves a sliver and that sliver turns into half the cake! The point of the cheat is to allow yourself a taste not to let people find you on the bathroom floor passed out from cake overload. In fact, you might find this really amazing: After I gave up sweets, fats and carbs and I would allow myself a small cheat, if I went even a tiny bit too far or I took a little too much I would actually get nauseous.

Food like fried chicken and ice cream; bad for you. So when you detoxify your body and get all that stuff out of your system and you get rid of the preservatives and fats and sugars you are cleansing your body, but once you start putting that stuff back in? Its like poisoning yourself and your body will let you know that it’s no longer welcome! The simple fact that the body does this, just goes to prove that those types of food aren’t good for you and it’s not natural to have them inside your body!
