Walking for Weight Loss Inside!
Walking to lose weight, while stuck inside, used to be so boring! Not so these days. There are many wonderful options for exercising while at home which are attractive to do. All those with home exercise equipment stored away-now’s the time to get it out! Yes, you! Or: Dance! Clean up! Clear out the rubbish! Put on a favourite walking dvd. Use WiiFit!
What do you get out of being overweight? Make a list of the advantages. Two that come to mind:
being overweight can mean that losing weight is too hard and normal restraint doesn’t apply because it’s too late to make a change;
being overtired is part of being overweight which means I’m always too tired to exercise, and if I exercise then I’m too tired to carry out my responsibilities…
If while you’re eating with restraint you are dreaming of the day you will be able to eat ‘normally’ perhaps your attitude needs exercising to tighten it, because thinking that way is going to make it hard to do and guaranteed to fail.
The new dream needs to be of the day when you are so enamoured of the renovated body and lifestyle you are enjoying that eating is a pleasure but not a primary motivating power in your life, and activity is daily and also a motivating factor in your new life.
If you would like to have a fit, attractive, healthy body, then talk and admire that, when you see it. Ignore anything that does not fit into that category. Do not comment on it. So compliment someone who looks nice and avoid making any asides to a friend when you see someone who’s put on weight, particularly if this person wants to talk about it i.e. how hard it is to lose weight, how she just looks at food and gains weight. When you’re starting out you don’t need sceptics or saboteurs.
