Find the Weight That Works for You

Less Weight Equals More Happiness

Like most people I have endured the weight on and weight off concept in my life. I have come to the conclusion its wiser to develop a life style that creates and maintains the weight I want and enjoy in my life. I see the folly of going thru all that pain and suffering only to fall back into old patterns and then in short time return to were I started and that doesn’t produce the wellness I want in my life. Weight pills are all over the TV and maintain no legitimate proof that they work. Oh they peddle a picture of success and ultimately leave you heavier then you were and frustrated for being taken advantage of. Someone once said that if it’s too good to be true it probably isn’t. I believe all things are possible and some day in some form a bill or etc will be created that will allow us to consume moderate quantities of what we want and keep us at the weight that gives us good feelings. Till then making a plan is the best approach to take to get to and maintain the weight that works for you.

Exercise in Ways That Work for You

To me exercise best serves me when Ill do it and it is in the right presentation form for me. I exercise in ways that work for me. I walk trice daily morning and evening I increase my distance slightly each day. When sitting in my comfortable chair I often lift my legs, arms and do pulling or pushing the muscles that I can. Like cupping my hands and pulling or pushing against my hands but only for short intervals. Its amazing how many ways you can push or pull against your body parts to improve you muscle tone yet consume calories in the process and this you can do anywhere. Its slow progress but it helps in so many ways and it something I will do all the time while sitting, laying, or walking around. Its not the magic pill but it allows me flexibility helps control my weight keeps me in good body tone. Losing body mass is a slow process and developing habits you will do is the best course in your life. And stop thinking about the diet word and just create a reduction plan word that will work for you.

I'de Rather Be the Turtle

I remember many moons ago while walking one time this fast moving girl went by me and while passing said no pain no gain. Apparently I wasn’t moving fast enough to suit her way of thinking. In my thinking a fast and hard sweating success story is just one step away from being back where you started. So whose the smartest one the turtle or the rabbit?

Stop the Madness of Losing & Regaining Right Away

Life above all things needs to find a way by little measures of progress to get where you want to be and then just live at that level. Each day requires habits that you will allow you to achieve your goal but yet give you happiness all along the way. Stop the madness of running hard achieving your goal and to fall back to the starting line and then running the race again. Its better to win the race once and just remain at the finish line.

Endless Ways to Exercise

You will be amazed how many ways you can exercise while sitting at your desk, walking, talking or sitting on a park bench and no one will even be aware of what you are doing. Think of all the body parts you have and how versatile they are and how many ways they can move. And sweat isn’t necessarily required. In time with continual movement and modest eating habits you can get to the goal line and stay there just by moving and small eating changes.

Avoid The Diet Word

And above all don’t say to yourself anything that resembles the word diet. Find a word to mean the same thing and you’ll find that word will work better for you. That word has too much baggage attached to it so take my advice and don’t use it and just make changes slowly in your life, that way there more likely to stay with you over the long haul.
