So, you have tried to lose weight and nothing has ever worked. Year after year you make a promise to yourself that this is going to be the year that you will lose weight, but instead of losing weight you slip back into your old eating habits. The out to eat foods, soda, and sweet-treats. This has become your daily routine. You feel tired, out-of-breath, lazy, and just plain miserable. You don't even look in the mirror anymore because you feel so fat and unhealthy. However, you still have hope because you still have some of the clothes that you had before you gained weight, wishing that the day will come that you wear those clothes again.

Well, the day has come that you will wear those clothes again. Your prayers have now been answered. How can I tell you that your prayers have been answered? You've prayed over and over for help? Did you not? If you're reading this blog post than that help has finally arrived.

Now, let's get down to business. Are you really hungry when you eat? Think about these questions before you answer them. When you eat what are you eating to satisfy your hunger? Are you doing any form of exercise? Do you cook from scratch?

The reason I ask you if you are really hungry when you eat is because many people aren't eating because they are hungry. They eat because they are depressed, stressed, bored, social occasions, happy, or just because they have a taste for a certain kind of food. None of those reasons are a legitimate reason to eat. It is especially bad for your health if you are doing this on a regular basis. The reason I asked you the second question. Is because many people are eating the wrong things. Such as processed food and junk food. Which doesn't nourish our bodies at all. The reason I asked you the third question. The body needs movement. If you are not moving you will not burn any fat. That means all the food you are eating is just being stored on your body which turns to fat. The reason I asked you the fourth question is because cooking from scratch is better for your health because you are purchasing the food, thus knowing what ingredients is being used. At a fast food restaurants you have no idea what is being used.

We must get rid of the bad eating and shopping habits and develop good eating and shopping habits. One very important detail is to read the ingredient list. Always, read the ingredients. You must eat lots of fruits and vegetables and drink plenty of water. If you have problems with drinking water. Read,"Water Drinking Tip". Eating fruits and drinking water helps the digestion process and the elimination process. Which is very essential to losing weight.

You must know where to shop to get the healthy foods to buy. Read,""Where To Shop For Healthy Food".

Exercising is a must there is no losing weight without it. Try to find something that you enjoy. Walking is very easy and it doesn't cost anything to do it. It's just putting one foot in front of the other. You can't get any easier than that. However, I do think a walking machine is a very good investment especially in the winter time when it's cold outside. Yoga is a fantastic exercise. It teaches you how to breathe and you are exercising your internal organs and muscles. It really is a total body workout. Grab a friend, any activity is always more enjoyable when you have someone to do it with. These are just some suggestions you can do a little bit of experiencing yourself and find out what you like best.


You will need to avoid some foods. Do not eat pork or any foods that has it in it. Pork is nothing but fat. It is hard to lose weight when you are eating pork which is fat. For more information read, "Pork The Wrong Meat To Eat". High fructose corn syrup which is a man made sweetener. Don't drink alcohol it is well-known that alcohol aids in the process of gaining weight. These are just some foods to stay away from. You are making lifestyle changes for a better healthier you.


Continue to broaden your health knowledge. On the sidebar you will see My Health Essentials Bookstore. Those are some of the books that I highly recommend you purchase and read. They will really change your outlook on health. Share what you have read with other's.


Eat a good breakfast, lunch if you need to, and dinner. It is nothing wrong with snacking provided that you are eating the right kind of snacks. Still, do it in moderation. You should read,"What Kind Of Snacks Should I Eat?

Don't know what to cook? Purchase some cookbooks or watch cooking shows. I have gotten a lot of good recipes watching cooking shows. After you watch the show you can just print out the recipes that you want to try. It really makes cooking fun to try new recipes. Cooking doesn't have to be hard. Keep it simple. It's better for you health wise too.


Nothing will make a difference if you don't put any of these things into practice. There will be days that you won't feel like eating the right things or exercising, but you must stand firm. It's okay if you fall off the band wagon but you absolutely must get back on. You cannot afford to go back to your old ways. Your health depends upon it. This is not only about your weight it's about your health too. For more information to help you, read,"Developing Discipline".

Don't continually worry about your weight. If you do the above things you will lose weight. You don't have to weigh yourself everyday. This is not an overnight process. The more you understand that the better you will be. It took time for you to gain the weight (even though it might feel like it happened overnight.) and it will take time for you to lose it. Some quicker than other's. There's no point in obsessing about it because it is not going to help you. Of course, you do want to see if you are making any progress. I recommend you weigh yourself three times a month.

Wishing you good luck with your journey to good health!
