Simple? Ya Right!

I have spent a lot of time trying to be successful at weight loss, in fact I have spent years and years.  Apparently so have a lot of other people, considering that weight loss products are over a billion dollar industry .  If it took money to solve the problem...we'd all be thin.

What do all of us "weight challenged" people want?  We want to take a pill or a drink and BAM be transformed into someone with a perfect figure and weight.  Yup that is what we want -no muss, no fuss-with fabulous results.  We live in the age of "instant" gratification and by golly, we want it NOW.  Why isn't that possible (after all, they can put a man on the moon)??  Why does it have to be so hard??  Why does the challenge NEVER end??

I think we all have to learn something.  Instant gratification DOES NOT exist when it comes to weight loss.  It is a LONG, HARD process that has to come together on many different levels.  I marvel at the many different  experiences the various bloggers I read are having and have had along their journeys.  In all sincerity, I am in total awe of some of these young women.  Their personalities come through and  they sound like the kind of  people you'd like to know.

From many different sources, I am learning the following "rules for success" regarding weight loss.  Following them will most likely ensure your success with this problem.

1.  Move more, eat less.......just no way around this.  As far as eating less, it means healthy foods the vast majority of the time.  Moving---start somewhere and as you progress  keep "upping" the ante.

2.  Hard work and determination.......weight loss doesn't just happen.  It takes of LOT of hard work (both mental and physical) and determination.  You have to have the absolute desire to conquer that layer of fat on your body.

Now I haven't conquered these "rules", but I honestly think I am making progress, internally if nowhere else.

Everyday is a revelation!

I can, I will!!
