Everyone wants to lose weight.
How many actually succeed in doing it though? And how long does it last for those that do? The answers to those questions are not many, and not for long.
It's incredibly difficult to lose weight - if you don't have the right mindset.
Too many people see all those crazy infomercials on late, late at night and think that all it takes to lose weight is a phone call.
They wait patiently for their new miracle cure to arrive, and perhaps they will even use the product and lose some weight.
The problem is that this period of time, in which they exercise and watch what they eat, is considered a temporary situation.
"When I get skinny," they tell themselves, "I will be able to stop doing this awful exercise and stop eating this God awful food.
" That mindset will never keep weight off, never in a million years.
What we have here is a case of unreality: you can't become healthy on a diet.
Your diet must be your DIET - that is, what you eat on a daily basis.
That's why weird "lose 15 pounds in a week" miracle cures never work.
Without a permanent change to the way you live your life, you can't expect to keep weight from returning.
Eating cheesecake every other day is unhealthy, regardless of whether you slice it after you've lost weight or before.
You must find a diet that works for you - permanently.
This is not to say that you can't eat chocolate or cheesecake or ice cream ever again.
Far from it.
It just needs to become something rare, maybe a once a week thing.
It means you can't indulge yourself in greasy hamburgers and dripping fries every day.
It means taking responsibility for the fuel you are putting in your body.
Would you expect your car to run smoothly if you jammed three sticks of butter in the gas tank? Of course not.
Your body is, in many ways, a machine.
Without being taken care of, it will weaken and eventually atrophy.
This is why you need to exercise, keep running your muscles, as well as watching what you eat.
It's not enough to do one.
Losing weight without exercising will just make you skinny and out of shape.
Exercising tightens you up and makes you far more attractive than looking like a beanpole.
