Body fat is inextricably linked to self image. It has been shown in several studies that having an attractive body improves self-esteem. However, for the sad majority of people, feeling good about your body is a distant dream.
It is estimated that almost 30% of the adult population in the US is obese. Now we would all like to look like the super hot model on MTV, but what does it take to achieve it? It will require a lot of effort, commitment and a positive attitude towards your body.
Having a positive approach towards your body is vital for your self-esteem. Most of us have trouble admitting that we are overweight. We try to let go of the inevitable by ignoring the slowly creeping weight. Before we know it we’ve carried maybe 20 extra pounds. So, first and foremost, you’ll need to come forward openly and accept that you have a weight problem.
Most people fail to lose weight mainly due to lack of concentration. We are afraid of the initial setbacks and ridicule that we face on the hard road to weight loss. Many times weight loss fails due to a pessimistic attitude gained from past experience with weight loss programs. But I think we mostly fail because we’re too lazy to get out of our layers and take the plunge. I mean you can’t really lose weight, you don’t try to lose it!
The key to achieving weight loss is to engage in this type of progressive activity. You must stick to the diet system and program your mind to “hold” the idea of having a new lifestyle to start a new chapter of your life. Weight loss isn’t about rigid physical activities, it’s about boosting your emotional strength.
The first steps to losing weight start with you. You will need to build within yourself that burning desire to achieve the goal. Once you have reflected and resolved your inner conflicts, all impediments in your way will become clear. So!!!
So remember how weight loss starts with you. This is not a miracle weight loss program. This program is all about you. It’s about respecting your body. This is the belief, born of strong commitment, that you have the courage and power to succeed!
So all you people who want to lose weight but have failed, take heart. Weight loss is not an impossible dream.
