How Not To Fail At Weight Loss by Ken Snodin

So you have decided to try to lose weight again? Well I'm guessing you have or you probably would not be reading this right now!

We are all aware of the basics required to lose weight effectively, a healthy well balanced diet, regular exercise and perhaps the added help of a detox and/or body wrap. The biggest challenge we all face is keeping the momentum going and stopping ourselves from making the usual excuses about why we REALLY need to have pizza tonight or why we won't do any exercise today.

There is something you can try, but it does require that you are completely honest with yourself.

1. Establish how much weight you would like to lose. If you are very overweight and need to shed weight for health reasons it most definitely should be done under the supervision of a doctor or dietitian.

Make a note of this weight loss figure on a piece of paper.

2. Think of the worst thing that can happen as a result of you not sticking to your weight loss program. Being Truthful with yourself here is vital.

Write this on the same piece of paper.

So for example you should have a piece of paper which says something like:

I would like/ I need to lose 15 pounds If I do not have enough will power to succeed I will not fit into my wedding dress.

or

I would like/ I need to lose 40 pounds If I do not have enough will power to succeed I will be crippled with arthritis in my spine before I reach the age of 40.

Now that you have done the hard part, lets face it the truth always hurts - stick this piece of paper somewhere that you will come across it constantly throughout the day. You could have more than one dotted around the house even at the office.

By doing this you will have a constant reminder of your objective and the consequences of you failing to lose weight. As you go about your daily tasks read what you have written repeatedly. This should help you to stay focused on the task and help to maintain the level of will power necessary to achieve your goal.

I hope this little suggestion works for you, I know it has for many people already.
