Remember that losing weight is like running a marathon event, it is not the sprint or a quick fix that most people tend to think that it is. Slowly but surely which is the key to losing weight and keeping it off,we need to face facts here, what is the point of going crazy and losing a fist full of weight in a short amount of time when it took us a lot of time to gain it and then hello she’s back again like a nosy parker.

It just does not make sense for us to keep repeating this vicious cycle of starving ourselves, losing the fat for a brief moment of time and then putting it all back on the next day with interest.

What is our problem, well it is the way our bodies have been made and programmed from the dawning of time. You see we have this darn survival instinct built into us to make sure that we get through times of famine. You see along time ago man lived in a feast or famine environment with little in between. We were designed to store fat in case we happened on leaner times and food became scarce to ensure we got through.

So what does this mean to us, well if we starve ourselves our bodies go into self protection mode, we hold onto everything fat included, to get us through to better times. The sad thing is when we have lost the weight that we wanted we tend to start ‘eating normally again’ and this is the most dangerous time. Our body says “wait a minute” I am going to create some extra stores in preparation for the next famine, starting to make sense?.To counter act our dieting our body will also slow our metabolism downyay! almost to a grinding halt, ummm not really fair is it.

What can we take from this?

The first thing that we should realize is, and this is a no brain’er people, if it did not work the last two or three timesit most probably is not going to work the next time.either.

Lets get smart about this and work with our bodies and not against it, eating actually speeds up our metabolism, so it makes sense to eat, but we must eat sensibly and healthy. We need to eat to prevent our bodies going into self preservation mode and keep our metabolism going strong. We should be aiming at eating smaller meals more often.

One of the main problems is that as humans we plan to fail, if you know you have a wedding to go to or your 40th Birthday is in 6 months, start now, do not leave it until four weeks out as you are setting yourself up for disaster.

You Know what you have to do so go and do it, do not put it off believe in yourself, do not let anyone else tell you any different, because you are worth it.
