When you look in the mirror in the morning and then wish you hadn't, then it's time to start to think about doing something about the large tyre that has appeared round your middle.
Getting started in anything is always the hardest thing to do. A good idea is to sit down and examine what you are doing that made you put on all this extra weight in the first place.
There are probably many reasons why you've put on weight. You've probably got some pretty good excuses. Some of them might be valid, but the fact remains that you've got to do something about it. Are you prepared to get to grips with the problem? Are you prepared to really make a supreme effort?
If you have a sweet tooth you are going to have to give up the candy bars and the sandwiches, the full fat cheese and all those delicious cakes. You have to make yourself aware of all the things you think have contributed to your weight gain and cut them out.
Do you know what the value of calories there is in what you eat every day? Do you know how much energy you use in a day - or how many calories you eat? You need to know this.
There is one thing that you need to avoid and that is reducing you calorie intake dramatically. If you do you are going to put more weight on in the long-run.
This might be an embarrassing question, but do you know how much exercise you take in a week? Be honest now! It's not very much is it? Do you actually set out to take exercise every day? Is it something in your mind that you always do as a matter of routine?
What you need to understand is that exercise burns calories - it's also good for you. It keeps you alert and healthy. If you're serious about losing weight you should start to think about making an exercise plan. Exercise needs to become a habit - a slim habit, if you like. If you are prepared to change you have a better chance of being successful at losing weight. Change will come from learning new habits.
