Am I Obsessed With My Weight

Denying the weight gained you've experienced is a quick way to get to a really sad and desperate place. That is after all the underlying message we send when we ask others if we look fat.  Your weight matters to you other wise you would not be asking people to say you are not fat.  It is so hard to admit we've done it again, allowed ourselves to gain an uncomfortable amount of weight. It hurts both physically and mentally.

Weight loss tip

Thin people drink mostly non calorie drinks throughout the day and they do not drink diet drinks.

The healthy drinks free of bad chemicals and sugar that help you to shed the pounds would be iced green tea and iced water with a lemon slices. 

It is a well known fact that diet drinks laden with heavy chemicals makes you fatter and fatter more so than regular sugar. Diet drinks make you fat, face it, accept it and believe it!

The brain reacts to sweet taste triggering a signal causing you to eat more. The brain does not differentiate between real and artificial sweeteners.

Artificial sweeteners are far sweeter in taste than regular sugar and therefore create a more intense desire to eat.  

Plus, there's the damage the chemicals cause to your body, organs and especially your brain.

There is no need to drink calories other than skim milk and all natural unsweetened juice daily. Now remember a serving of juice is 4 ounces.

Go right now and measure 4 ounces. You back? That’s half a cup, not a lot. Imagine the calories you’ve been drinking and rarely counting.

On average calories from drinks account for 23 pounds of weight gain per year. The truth is drinking calories alone does make you fat!

DRINK WATER, its healthy, free and aids in weight loss efforts like crazy!

Plus it makes you look and feel younger!

Step exercises is a great way to shed pounds and have you building strength and endurance all in the privacy of your own home, show off your improved body when you're ready!

Stop right now

Go look at yourself in the nearest mirror, raise your shirt and really look at yourself, go ahead do it and do it quickly not preparing yourself for what you want to see! Touch it, feel it, are you soft, flabby and much bigger than you liked to believe.

Can you lift a hand full of fat from your mid section?  Belly fat is very dangerous to your heart health, this is nothing to deny any longer.

Do you feel as if you’ve suddenly been invaded by fat and now see little signs of it all over making you feel powerless to do anything other than just be fat?

The good news is the heavier you are the quicker the weight comes off.  

Stop letting fat take over your life and your body. Anytime you notice cellulite on any part of your body it’s a signal that you’re carrying around more fat than you should. This is a sign you should not ignore and in fact move to stop it dead in its tracks.

Fat thoughts keep us fat! We automatically have negative thoughts about food and being over weight which keep us fat;

The Fat Thoughts and Lies

1. It’s my genes, DNA, heredity makes me fat

2. I have no control, I can’t help it, I’m so weak!

3. I don’t like healthy food.

4. I don’t have the time to cook.

5. I don’t have the time to work out.

6. I’m too tired and over worked.

And on and on the lies go!

The Big Fat Secret

It’s not just about burning more calories than you put into you body that really counts the most.

While this is true and you must consider this fact in your weight loss equation there is more to it.

Most importantly is the quality of food you put into your body. We all must eat but its what we eat that counts.

Many of us get into trouble merely counting calories and yet not eliminating bad foods. If the calories you take in are the right number but bad quality, high fat or sugary foods, you will run into trouble and I mean big fat trouble.

The Weight Loss Calculations 

1. For example if you want to weigh 150 lbs you will need to consume 1,500 calories a day to maintain a weight of 150 calories.
2. If you wanted to lose 1 lb a week to achieve this weight you will need to reduce 500 calories a day from your calorie intake which would be 1,000 calories per day.

Now that’s not a lot of junk food. When you divide this number up between healthy fruits, vegetables, omega rich fish and nuts you get a lot more food and nutrition.

These types of food help you to feel good and energized all the while reducing the danger of binge eating after you've made progress.

Remember one pound equals 3,500 calories and you must burn off 3,500 calories in order to lose one pound.

Adding physical activity to your plan is a great way to excel your weight loss and get your body working as it should.

NOTE: There are no junk foods that boost your metabolism but lots of healthy low calories ones such as;
