For most people, a weight loss program is not easy to fit into their daily lives. It is definitely hard to come to terms with the fact that the music must be faced. Coming to terms with reality isn't always very pleasant.
Even though on the inside, they desperately want to make changes, the combination of being sedentary and having been in an unchallenged and cozy comfort zone for too long makes it more difficult for them to get moving. Their willpower has evaporated.
People use all kind of excuses for not slimming down. Excuses just serve to delay the time when they can be diet free. Things just get in the way, don't they? A favorite television show, an evening out or just plain "too much to do". Excuses, excuses, excuses....
One of the classic excuses is that there is just not enough time. Exercise is always the one activity that suffers from so-called "lack of time". There is always enough time in the day to do exercise. It's not about managing time, it's about managing yourself. If you don't find time for exercise, one day you will have find time for illness.
Slimming down is a gradual process that works best when there is both commitment and self-discipline. Without these two very important elements the whole process of losing weight becomes more difficult.
Slimming down also requires a change lifestyle. In order to change your lifestyle, it helps to change your mind-set. Visualizing a positive outcome can be very helpful. It's also very important to have goals. Without goals success will be limited. You must have something to measure your success by.
Losing weight is about not making excuses. If you have become overweight, it's probably because you have been making too many excuses. You've not been facing up to reality and letting your life slide by on autopilot.
To lose weight - and particularly if you want to lose weight permanently, you need to have resolve. You have to be determined that you want to cast off your old ways and turn over a new leaf. You need to recognize your old habits and learn new habits - slim habits. No more excuses!
