Start Losing Weight Right Now!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. Now is time to start losing weight. I know some of you are saying, "but we haven't finished eating the leftovers from Christmas to say the least about New Year being just around the corner." I am fully aware of that, so stick with me. I'm not going to leave you out there defenseless and I am aware that we are about to approach the new year. I'm simply saying let's not mess around and wait for the new year. Let's get started now! We need to start with listing our reasons for and the benefits that we will derive from losing weight. I like to call them my "Why List." In other words you need a reason  for losing weight that will keep you on track with your goal in spite of the difficulties that will come your way. Let me lay this out for you like this.

• HWIMYF: How will it make me feel to achieve this goal?
• WATB: What are the benefits?
• HWIBYP: How will it benefit you physically?
• HWIBYS: How will it benefit you emotionally/spiritually?
• HWIBYF: How will it benefit you financially?
  

Go ahead and get started with me on this. We can all make it happen together. As Neicy Nash of "CLEAN HOUSE" would say, "Let's get to gittin!"

I Can Hardly Weight To Lose

"I'm going to lose weight this year." "I'm going to finally slim down." How many times have you said or heard someone say this and then see them fail to accomplish their goal? Why does this happen? There are many reasons. However I will only deal with one. As I have said before our goal is to become better from the inside out. Too often we forget that we are more than physical. We are spirit, soul and body, so sometimes it is not always a weight problem. It could be an emotional problem that stems from various things. Haven't you ever heard of people who eat when they are depressed? Sometimes rape or abuse victims subconsciously gain weight in an effort to make themselves less attractive (not that additional weight makes one less attractive). In cases like these the problem is not necessarily a physical one. When the real issue is dealt with, losing weight doesn't seem to be much of a problem. However if you need a little help it is readily available to all of us. In fact the antioxident rich Acai Berry products have been used with great benefits. Not only do they help you lose weight, but also boosts your energy increases your metabolism and some helps your body to cleanse it's intestinal tract increasing its ability to properly digest food. Most importantly make sure that you take a good look at yourself to see if your weight challenge is more than skin deep. I'll be posting more on that subject later.

A Better New Years Resolution

We are getting awfully close to the time where we traditionally make our New Year's resolutions. Before you resolve to do anything else I would like for you to join me in resolving to be good to yourself. That's right love yourself, treat yourself better and make sure that you make yourself a priority. The Bible tells us to "love our neighbors as we love ourselves." This means that we must first love ourselves before we are even capable of loving others. This is not selfish or self centered, but is in fact self-preserving. Mastering this must come before you decide to lose weight, move forward in some new venture, improve relationships with others or any other thing. When you come to the place where you feel comfortable in taking out special time for yourself and being good to yourself, you will then find it so much easier to do the other things that we commonly decide to do this time of the year. As I said when you have achieved this , then you can have a great time trying out tooth whiteners, a new exercise regimen, skin care products, starting a new business, improving your relationship with others or going back to school to finally complete your education. Just in case you don't get what I am saying, I will leave you with this:

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well (Psalms 139:14)

Speak this to yourself out loud now and throughout the new year as you enjoy being uniquely you.
