Calling the effort to lose weight a challenge is like calling the Bonnie and Clyde shoot out a little game of cops and robbers. Striving to lose weight and keep it off isn’t just a challenge it’s a war! What to do?
Eating Isn’t the Only Thing, It’s Everything!
I love to eat. No, really, I love food. In another lifetime I could’ve been a chef; but who wants to wait that long to eat? Eating healthy can actually taste good. With weight loss being such a big deal in America, food companies are striving for you to continue to buy their products even if you need to lose weight. So they come out with healthy choice, or low fat, or low salt; all of which are good ideas and can taste good, too. Don’t like the taste, not spicy enough? Cayenne pepper is not only good for you it will kick that food up a notch or 10. There are also some fantastic products out there that have a plethora of spices in them, but no salt. Garlic is another option, also good for you. It may not be good for your social life, but you’ll look so good no one will care about your breath.
Exercise is Key
The worst part about losing weight, for me, is the exercise. Who’s got time for that? Really, it’s not about the time, it’s more of a do or die situation. Try to remember one important fact. You’re watching the scale, you’re exercising, and you’re losing weight when suddenly… You stop losing. Keep in mind that even though you’re losing fat you’re gaining muscle (provided you’re doing it right). Don’t be discouraged if you hit a plateau. Work through it.
The important thing is to look ahead. Reach for that Brass ring, who knows, maybe it’s really gold. (You do know the price of gold these days, don’t you?)
