Some ugly truth about weight loss |
| There is an ugly truth that not many people in the weight loss world seem to mention. But knowing this secret is a key step in moving to progressive and long term weight loss. It's a secret just under the surface of the weight loss industry, and those who deny it go on false hopes.Here it is. For long term weight loss you must have long term change. For life time weight loss you must have life long change. And unfortunately, the changes that you will have to make get greater as we get older and our metabolisms slow down. Yuck! Your current dietary and exercise habits (and possibly things outside of your control) have brought your body to your current weight. To change your weight, you'll have to break some of the habits that you have. And if you ever go back to your previous diet and exercise habits, your weight will most likely go back to where it was before. This is one of those main reasons that diet pills and surgery are so prevalent in the weight loss field. They require little if any change to your lifestyle. But here's the silver lining. Those changes to your lifestyle won't be bad! In fact after a while those changes you make can be something you greatly value. Discovering your new favourite dish, joining a running club and meeting new people, the changes you make may be some of the most enjoyable decisions in your life. And if you do make changes that aren't enjoyable, after a while those changes won't seem so bad after all. Long term weight loss requires long term changes, and don't worry if you stumble along the way! As long as you keep trying you can never fail! |
