How to Lose Weight.....FAST!
Here is a little food for thought...
Okay! It's the new year which means most likely 2 things have happened. One, the holidays brought joy, cheer, festivity, and a nice, little bundle of body fat gift wrapped by YOU! And two, you are now ready to do something about it!
Well I've got some news for you! I'm flipping over a new leaf this year as well. No longer will I only abide to my one school of thought which in the past has been "Gradual Weight Loss." Sure I still believe that this is by far the most effective way to not only lose weight, but to maintain your weight loss for a lifetime.
I still believe that when we try to be PERFECT, we start trying to sabotage ourselves right of the bat. When we start saying we can't have something, we only want it MORE. I still do believe that small changes over time make for one ENORMOUS difference.
But let me ask you this.
Is GRADUAL working for you? Have you put into place the small differences that add up? Have you made the subtle changes in your habits to make the changes in your body? Are you in a different place now then you were six months ago, and is that place better? Have you been GRADUALLY losing weight, dropping inches, and reducing your body fat?
If so, great! Keep doing it. This is the method that works best for you. If the answer is no to these questions, you may be a candidate for FAST WEIGHT LOSS!
You see the bottom line is that YES, fast weight loss DOES exist and you can do it safely. Whether or not it can be done has never really been the question. The TRUE question is... are you willing to take the actions necessary to make it happen?
FAST WEIGHT LOSS (at least the kind you want) does not come in a bottle, in the form of a pill, or some magical cream that melts fat away. You won't find it in a body wrap or an ab rocker. You won't even find it by simply watching Oprah! Imagine that!
You see the weight loss that you want fast is the kind that rids your body of excess body fat, has your abdominals popping out, and has each and every muscle on your body looking like it was chiseled from Michelangelo himself. That's the kind you get one way and one way only. DIET AND EXERCISE.
So let me ask the question one more time. Are you willing to do what it takes to experience FAST WEIGHT LOSS? Are you willing to calculate your calories every single day to make sure that you are burning more than you are taking in? Are you willing to make the tough decisions when it comes to what you put into your mouth? Are you willing to put importance over convenience?
How about your willingness to get to the gym even when your day is crazy? Are you willing to stop making excuses as to why you haven't lost the weight, gotten to the gym, or started your diet? Are you willing to stop letting work, kids, events, and LIFE in general get in your way?
If you can truthfully answer YES to these questions and follow through, you will be amazed at how fast you can lose weight. If you can't do this NOR the gradual approach, I think it's time to ask yourself if you really want it. More importantly, it may be time to look at what you are WILLING to do for the things that you WANT.
It's up to you!
