This Year’s weight loss resolution is…

100 pounds?

200 pounds?

50 pounds?

How many years have you made that resolution?  And…how many years have you kept it?

Someone asked me today about my website…and what I was “selling”.  It took me by surprise, because I never think of myself as selling anything.  Instead, after 30 + years of obesity, and obesity related agony, all I think is that I finally figured it out.  I learned THE secret to losing weight.

It is the same secret I had looked for EVERY year as I struggled to lose weight.  This new book, or that new diet…that tricky, hard exercise at the gym, given to me by the cute trainer…surely that was the trick!  But, no matter how much I worked out, and no matter how hard I focused on my diet (Atkins diet, or South Beach diet, or maybe Weight Watchers), I lost some weight, then couldn’t keep at it anymore.

So, despite losing 40 pounds here, or 80 pounds there, I always gained it back, always had to buy bigger clothes again, and always felt ashamed and sad and angry at myself and the world for cheating me.

The Secret to Weight Loss

Eat less and move more, every day, for the rest of your life.  Jillian & Bob say it every season on The Biggest Loser…and it applies to EVERY human on the face of the earth.  You can only eat what your body will burn - and if you want to lose weight, you have cut back on what you are taking in, and increase what you are burning.  Period.

But HOW?  Really - if it was that easy, wouldn’t we all do it?  Actually no.  Just as we might watch a friend or loved one continually date the wrong kind of person, or drink too much, or spend too much…if it was just that easy to STOP doing something painful, we would all do it.  But it isn’t.  We are getting something back from our behavior…even if it makes us sick, or if it could kill us.

So - how do we lose weight - and keep it off?

We do it slowly, just like we put it on, and we modify our eating and our moving so it is EASY.  Yes…EASY.  Read more…

So…What is your Weight Loss Resolution this year?

Try making it the LAST year you ever have to lose weight.  You can do this.
