To lose weight or not to lose weight…that is the question! Most of us would immediately answer….yes, I want to lose weight. Easy to say….not so easy to do. This is one decision most of us wait until we are forced into action by health problems or for other reasons until we get serious about making the decision. Most of us talk about losing weight but we don’t put the action behind the decision. Talking about it is as far as many of us ever get.
Most of us have this picture in our mind that losing weight is a lot of work. We are afraid we’re going to have to give up our favorite foods or that we will have to do exercises we’re not that excited about and so we associate “pain” with the decision to lose weight. So our natural response is to think about losing weight but we never do anything about it.
Losing weight should not be a struggle as you have imagined. But I would be lying to you if I didn’t tell you that you’ll need to be make some changes. After all, you didn’t get overweight overnight. The weight won’t come off overnight either. But these changes you’ll need to make don’t need to have pain associated with them.
When it comes to other changes we make in our life, it seems like we do a much better job of accepting those changes much easier than we do with a decision to lose weight. Changing jobs, moving, marriage and/or divorce are all life changes we make and we just do it because there is no other alternative so we just accept it and move on.
What are some reasons why you want to lose weight?
- Maybe you’re tired of your clothes that don’t fit you anymore
- Maybe you just learned you have diabetes
- Maybe you have high blood pressure
- Maybe you have a family history of cancer of heart disease
- Maybe your joints are becoming more and more stiff and its harder for you to get around
- Maybe you’re in a new relationship and want to look your best
Whatever your reason, you need to make a commitment to yourself that your health is more important than anything else. Now is the time for you to decide how you want to live the rest of your life. Do you want to risk having serious health problems that will be extremely costly for you? Or, do you want to feel good about yourself and how you look? Anything worth doing is worth doing right. The quick and fast method you see on those infomercials will actually add to your health problems. Remember, we want to live a happy and fulfilled life not a life of going to see the doctor every week.
So ask yourself, am I ready to lose weight? Are you ready to make a life style change? Are you ready to make a commitment to yourself to become healthier?
If you’re ready to make the ultimate choice to take control of your weight instead of letting your weight control you, then you’re ready. I’m here to tell you that you can do it and that losing weight doesn’t have to be difficult.
Once you have made your decision and you’re ready and determined to lose weight whatever it takes, then you’ll be ready to make the life changes that will be necessary to follow through on your decision.
Start by making better choices for yourself. Each morning remember the commitment that you made to yourself and follow through on your commitment. Find a plan that works for you and your lifestyle. And stick to it! Before long you’ll start to see changes in your body but better yet, you’ll begin to feel so much better.
Because when you finally make that “decision” to lose weight and you’re truly ready to lose weight, nothing will stop you!
