Losing Weight! You Need to Pick Your Time

This is hard for me to explain, but I will give it a try. You will not lose weight until you are determined. I know I tried a lot of diets but nothing worked mostly because I was not dedicated to it. I would start every day for a week or two. Each time I told myself I messed up today but I will start tomorrow. If your in this phase, you won’t be able to do it. It took me 3 weeks to find the right time to start. So, don’t be in a big hurry. This is for the rest of your life. People ask me how did you do it? Actually it was easy once I made up my mind. Really committing to losing weight makes it easier.

Wait till your on that down side and feeling miserable. Look at yourself, what do I want to do with my life? Is this the way I want to live? How can I change things? We’ve all been there! This is the time to take stock of yourself and figure out just what is it that makes you want to lose weight. It doesn’t work if someone else thinks you should. Only you are going to do it. Only you will be responsible for it. If you don’t have the drive and determination you will not succeed.

There is no quick fix. It is dieting and exercise. You can remain heavy and be happy or lose weight and be happy. You have to figure out what is im-portant to you.
I lost weight because I did not want to end up in a wheel chair or worry about someone else having to take care me. I was over 300 pounds and in pain because my feet hurt so bad I could only walk about 20 feet. My knees were hurting and I was getting arthritis. In the summer I was totally miserable with sweating and not being able to go swimming or even wear shorts. I was ashamed for anyone to see my legs as they were very heavy. Going any place that I had to dress up for was such a stressful thing to do. Putting on pantyhose was real torture. There’s also the health problem. Diabetes is a very real possibility when you are over weight. Personal hygiene becomes a problem. So many little things. I hope you decide it is worth it and wait for that time that will make you determined.
