If you are carrying around a few (That term is used loosely) extra pounds
like most of us are, you already know all the reasons why we ought to take the
weight off. It will reduce stress on our heart, reducing the chance of heart
disease, cancer, possibility of diabetes; feel better, look more attractive,
and reinforce your self esteem.
There are multiple reasons why, but it can be a real nuisance to finally
get that weight off. You press on really hard, make a modest progress, get side
tracked, and bam you are heavier then you started. It’s exasperating.
Enough with that hassle, Here are 5 simple steps to actually lose weight
and keeping it off. These steps can be applied to anything, but we are focusing
on weight loss here.
1. You Must Know What You Want
2. You Must Know Where You Are
3. You Must Track Your Results
4. You Must Make Course Corrections
5. You Must Be Held Accountable
Now all your additional weight will effortlessly melt off. Yeah right! A
simple list of 5 items is not going to do it, so let me explain the intricacies
of the 5 items and where the hang up normally occurs when applied to losing
weight.
1. You Must Know What You Want This one is completely simple. Most people
that want to lose weight have an idea of how many pounds they would like to
lose or how they would like their body to look. I think we can safely say if
your body started appearing the way you wanted it, you would know, even if you
didn t have it completely mapped out and detailed.
2. You Must Know Where You Are This is the significant trip up. It is
almost always overlooked and is the number one basis for the up and down Yo Yo
effect ,we experience with eliminating weight. We are discontented with how our
body feels and how it appears
3. You Must Track Your Results This is conceptually uncomplicated. If we
have no clue as to WHAT we are doing, how do we know what is working? It might
be a simple to do, but is also simple not to do. In the end, most people never
track their results.
4.You Must Make Course Corrections We love to do this one. We have it hands
down. It is like step 1 of knowing what you want. We try the new food diet, the
super sit up machine, and the cardio hip hop power energy yoga fat burner
class. We might be notable at switching it up, but without knowing where we are
starting from and a history of tracked results, we have no clue as to what we
should amend or even which direction we ought to go.
5. You Must Be Held Accountable No, not accountability! That is an evil
word. I don t want someone to know what I am doing, or more importantly what I
am not doing. So, why do we resist accountability, your secret weapon to weight
loss? Because it works! If you know someone is going to be watching, you would
pursue through or at least feel very uncomfortable not following through.
Accountability when used wisely is the ultimate turbo booster to your weight
loss. Since you are going to be accountable anyway, you might as well get
something out of it. Using accountability up front, you can achieve the body of
your dreams. If you let your body hold you accountable, it will throw on fat in
places you don t want it to be. The biggest barrier to weight loss is not
taking any action. It doesn t matter how good the plan is, it is worthless if
you don t follow it.
So what do I do now? To begin the process, first and foremost, get
Accountable. Mail this article to someone you respect and care about and advise
them: I aspire to be accountable to ultimately taking off my extra pounds. When
they agree to support you, start working through Steps 1 through 5.
