Do you really want to lose weight? Have you given it much thought? Who are you doing it for? These questions may sound harsh but they have to be asked.
So many people are searching for ways to lose weight and a lot of the time they want to do it quickly or with some "miracle pill".
No pill, no "quickie" supplement or program is going to help unless you're actually doing it for Yourself.
The reason most people fail with their weight loss efforts is because they are trying to lose weight for someone else, rather than themselves.
The amount of fad diets and so-called "miracle pills" available is amazing, and yes those models look great too but if you're not doing it for yourself then the chances your weight loss efforts may not work out as you hoped.
People also have their comfort zones, and issues which contribute.
Lacking self esteem, playing a victim, lack of confidence, all these things can contribute to a person's weight and how effective a weight loss plan is going to be.
So first things first, get out a paper and pen and write down all the pros and cons.
Be honest with yourself and write down Why you want to lose weight.
When you have the why you can start planning the how.
If you lack confidence or self esteem, if you are afraid of things not working out the way you hope, write it down, if you are doing it for someone else, write it down, if someone else has told you you're overweight and made you feel self-conscious, write it down.
Then go over your list and look at why you want to lose weight.
If at the end you can say 100% that it's for YOU, then you're well on your way to achieving your desires.
Now you can start planning the how.
