One of the biggest problems we face today is the “I want it now” mentality and wanting to take the easiest and quickest way to get there. “Let's take things to the extreme so it happens fast, because I want it right now!” With TV shows like ABC's Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition and NBC’s The Biggest Loser, people think they can easily drop a lot of weight in a short amount of time.
WARNING: This video contains explicit language. I always find it fascinating talking with people who are having issues with losing weight or who have lost a lot of weight but have put all or most of it back on. So many have the same attitude and reasoning about why they gained the weight back—I got hurt; I got sick; the diet I was on got too expensive; I got tired of eating like that and exercising; or, I hit my goal and just went back to the way things were. And for many of us who have been or are currently overweight or obese, there’s something that you’re just going to have to do before you’re ever going to truly keep the weight off—you are going to have to admit that you have an addiction.
With tomorrow being the official start of this year's Slim Down Challenge, I am here to share with you 5 ways to kickstart your weight loss without going in a "diet."
Everyday we are faced with challenges and adversity. Some challenges might effect us for that moment, some for the rest of the day, some for the week, maybe longer. Some challenges may have effect us for the rest of our lives.
But one thing about challenges and adversity is that they don't need to define who we are. Almost every day I am asked, "how can I lose this weight," or "how do you keep the weight off?" My response is, "I had to change my lifestyle." Sounds easy, right? It's not.
