I am losing weight. As of today, from my very heaviest, I have lost twenty pounds. For years I was desperate to lose. I honestly started a new diet every monday morning. When I heard of someone succeeding in losing weight, I would search for their “secret” to weight loss success.
Now I know the secrets and I will share them with you.
1. Every single choice you make, matters.
2. When you think you can’t do any more, try harder.
I often tell my kids, big choices matter but the constant little choices pave your destiny. So here is is: every bite you take matters. Every time you choose to exercise or not, matters. There is alot of power in this, so choose wisely.
I am on the South Beach Diet. It really doesn’t matter which eating program you try, what matters is that you stick to it with every single choice. Losing weight is hard work. I’ve been at this for months, and now I can honestly say it is much easier, but I still make every single choice count.
Secondly, exercise is critical so I concentrate on exercising every day I possibly can. Yesterday I swam. I was so tired. But I swam anyway. When I started swimming, the thought of swimming fifty laps was daunting. But I kept at it, lap by lap and eventually the fifty were finished.
When you think you can’t do any more, push a bit harder. I think of this when I do crunches, or push ups. Ten more, or five more, or even one more…do the little bit extra. Surprise yourself. You really can do this.
I have more to lose. It has been alot of work …alot of work.
But it has been worth it!
God Bless You on Your Weight Loss Journey!
