YOUR TESTIMONY

JUST MY OPINION- YOUR TESTIMONY REVEALS THE PROBLEM

I was listening to someone who was starting a diet, again. They were repeating the same diet they were on before that was successful in achieving the goal of weight loss BUT they gained the weight back and then some. Call me foolish but the problem is not your not eating to loose weight; the problem is your eating and gaining weight.

Your weight is often a reflection of your lifestyle. I know far to many people who have a reason to eat more than their body needs. It is not just Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, 4th of July, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Birthdayssss and aniversariessssss that people eat more than what they should. The fact that there is food on a plate and a person was taught to eat everything on their plate is reason enough to eat more than enough.

People think I am crazy when I suggest focusing on loosing just one pound, especially when they want to loose more than ten. My reason is this: It is easier to loose 5 pounds trying to loose one than it is to loose one pound trying to loose five. You really will change your focus.

If all you want to do is loose one pound you will skip desert. If you want to loose five pounds you will eat less food, perhaps just vegetables and water as well as skip desert. The problem with getting rid of everything you want is that you will eventually, once you have lost the weight, go back to eating everything you banned yourself from eating.

People who have successfully taken the weight off have changed their lifestyle. Many still eat desert, just not as much. Most still eat the foods they like, just not as much. They exchange one habit for another habit. Instead of a desert after dinner they go for a walk.

Gyms make lots of money having those great January and before summer specials. People are motivated to get fit for about a month and then the excuses come.

I know a person who have had a gastric-bypass and lost over 200 pounds and gained it back.             

If you want to know why you can’t keep the weight off; if you want to know what is stopping you from getting buns of steel or six-pack abs, listen to what you are saying. You’re testimony is telling you why you can’t keep the weight off.
