The Key to Successful & Permanent Weight Loss
You've been disciplined and yet the next day you notice that you weigh exactly the same as you did yesterday. On some rare occasions I've noticed that my weight has gone up. How is that possible? I eat less but I gain weight, that doesn't sound right. But it can happen.
Instead wouldn't it be great to not have to worry about checking your weight ever again, because you know for sure that the exercise programme that you are doing is guaranteed to lose you weight, so all you have to do is stick to it and you'll see the difference every time you look in the mirror.I don't know about you. I really don't care what the scales have to say about my weight, so long as I look good. That's more important to me than the actual weight itself. If I was overweight and I still looked fantastic then there wouldn't be a problem. Unfortunately for me that isn't the case and it's not for most people. Knowing that you look good when you look in the mirror helps to make you feel good inside, it inspires confidence and self worth and gives you encouragement to keep moving forward. That's the type of weight loss I want and need.
The question is whether such a weight loss program exists. Fortunately the answer is yes. I tried to lose weight for a very long time, unfortunately I wasn't very successful, I only saw very minimal results. I would lose a pound or two here and there and then I would put on a pound or two, so essentially what I was doing just wasn't working.
The first problem was that I wasn't adhering for any proper programme. There wasn't anyone there to inspire me with confidence and provide me with guidance and provide me with disciple when I needed it. I thought I could just do it by myself. Big mistake, I realise now I was just being foolish. If losing weight was really that simple then there would be any need for all those books, videos and fitness instructors.
The second problem was that I used to think that just burning calories was the key to permanent weight loss. Unfortunately burning calories is important but it is only one of several factors that need to be considered when trying to achieve permanent weight loss.
And thirdly I was afraid of doing weight training. I just had this idea in my head that If I did weight training then I would end up like a body builder. As much as I hated my body at the time, I don't think I would have been any happier if I looked like them. I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with bodybuilding. I have ultimate respect for them, but that isn't my ideal type of body.
It was only when I started to really learn about weight loss and how our body works that I truly understood how to achieve my goals. I understood that I had to follow a programme. Fortunately I made some really good friends, professionals who gave me loads of great advice. Using their advice I was able to create my own programme, and I had their support all the way. I don't mean they held my hand as I exercised or anything, but I always knew that they would be there to advise me if I had any questions and I was comforted by the fact that I knew that their advice was of the highest standard.
I realised that calorie counting was not the way forward, as important as It may be, it isn't the be all and end of weight loss. Anyone who thinks otherwise is doomed to do what I was doing before, just not getting anywhere. And thirdly, resistance training [weight training] is a key factor in achieving permanent weight loss. When you learn how your muscles work, you can incorporate resistance training into it without the fear that you will bulk up or getting injured.
It is only through this specialised knowledge that I was able to finally achieve my weight loss goals. When you take that step forward and start to learn how to do things properly, you too will achieve your weight loss goals.The question you need to ask yourself is just how much longer are you going to carry on the current path before you finally get fed up and try another path.
I learned it the hard way; I spent years and years achieving nothing. I have already made those mistakes, I know what it feels like, don't make the same mistakes I did. Follow a proven method and before long you'll see the results starring back at you in the mirror.
Best wishes, Sam
