Losing weight is the most important thing you can do to get back on track. How quickly you stop gaining those pounds and start losing some may be the most important decisions you need to make to stop this obesity crisis you find yourself in. Many people get so frustrated before starting that the tasks seem overwhelming. I know, I’ve had those days too. Here are some tips on how you can start losing weight today.
- Start keeping track of what you eat and when. Just become mentally aware of what is going on in your mouth. Look at food from a different perspective. Look at him for what he’s doing to you. Decide if what you put in your mouth is your friend or your enemy.
- Take responsibility for preparing at least one of your meals every day from start to finish. Watch what goes into each bite you are about to eat. If you don’t fully understand what the product does to your body, go online and read about the benefits and possible side effects of at least one product every day for the next week. An example could be sugar. Do you know the benefits and side effects of excessive use of sugar? Type sugar into Google and search the results. You will be surprised what you discover. When I did this it changed my life forever. I found out that sugar was just my enemy because I didn’t understand anything about it. A teaspoon has only 15 calories, did you know?
- Learn to read food labels starting today. Read one day over the next week and it will change your life. A sweet pickle is 10 calories, yes, a delicious little round sweet pickle. How many calories does a pickle have? Find out for yourself and decide what to do on your own. Learn to make decisions for yourself.
Get started today and you’ll see the pounds drop only from what you learn, not from what you stop eating. It’s all in your mind, take control and start losing today before you go to bed. Food for thought.
