- Do you eat like you are a body builder?
- Do you eat without thinking about how much you eat?
- Do you eat an unbalanced diet?
- Do you miss meals?
- Do you refuse to give up the food you like?
- Have you given up on yourself and your ability to lose weight?
Here are the solutions to win the battle of the bulge.
Being active is a great way to help you lose weight but it can also make you hungry so don’t overeat thinking that if you're active you can get away with eating more. If you are overweight then you are eating too much.
Do the 28 day weight loss plan in book 5 and you will soon see if your having yourself too much food.
Avoid the crazy diets that restrict or eliminate how much carbohydrates you have. The best way to lose weight long term is to eat from all the food groups. Make sure that you eat the healthy choices for example lollies are high carbs and so is fruit. The difference lollies are junk food and not at all beneficial to your health where as fruit is packed with goodness and great for health and wellbeing.
Missing meals means you may binge late at night. Always start the day with breakfast as it kick starts your metabolism and will set you on the right track for the day. Lunch will keep your energy levels up and help you avoid lethargy and headaches mid afternoon.
If you don’t make some changes nothing will change. I remember when I was overweight how much I loved eating chocolate, now 14 years on I am not at all interested in it. It took time but I taught myself not to desire it and give it power. Making changes to habits that got you overweight must be eliminated if you are to lose weight long term.
If you stay focused, committed and above all excited about your journey ahead you will succeed. Instead of thinking about what you are going to give up think about what you will gain losing those unwanted kilos. I remember visualizing myself with a flat tummy, in a pair of slim jeans with a T Shirt tucked in. Believe in the outcome, focus on what you want to achieve and never give up on yourself.
