Mmmm, the cake or the carrot?

By Nadine Cooper


I have come to the decision that weight loss is equivalent to golfing, everybody has an opinion and can help you learn the simple way to swing the club just right but few are pros!

The choice to get rid of some weight is a really personal and challenging decision. Where once there had been a 6 pack, now there is a keg. What had previously been firm is now fat.

For all of the products, diets, exercise regimes, self help books, there seems very little agreement re the sure way to lose weight. Well, that is if you hear all of the get aid options, if you try every one of the assorted programs and diets.

There is no one size fits everybody weight loss is about you, it's your lifestyle, your body type, your eating habits, exercise commitment, realistically frequently it's about your will power. If you make a choice to lose weight I'd encourage you to face up to one query first when it comes to the force at 2:00 am in the morning and you open the fridge due to hunger do you pick the chocolate or the celery?

If you know you're more prone to pick the chocolate (insert other adequately unhealthy food grouping here) then it's likely that off your own bat you're going to struggle. These calls made at the small hours of the morning, (or perhaps it's the afternoon snack, the morning eggs'n'bacon), each contribute to the outcome of your call to tackle your weight.

Sure, I know this is all common sense but I am a 2:00 am chocolatier! It's just one piece, well, row, well you get the drift.

If you get it that weight management is not just a physical factor, it's a whole range of emotional, environmental and behavioural influences all piled into each decision then expecting to lose weight just by eating celery of an evening will not cut it! Don't starve yourself, do not expect tablets to mend it, liposuction!

No, get a friend find a buddy, talk it out and ask for help. If that does not sound like you well do it anonymously, join a group, log on whatever it is, simply make yourself accountable to somebody. For changing your habits is hard, whether or not that is giving up smoking or attempting to change eating and exercise patterns.

Give yourself a break, totally get pro help, subscribe to a weight loss program, change your diet and order in pre cooked low calorie meals whatever it is that helps you achieve it. But try not to give up giving up and don't despair if one day in twenty you stuff up, you had nineteen good ones.
