Best Way Lose Weight: Stop Making Excuses

December 20, 2018 By Lisa Leave a Comment

Best Way Lose Weight: Stop Making Excuses

My weight loss has been quite the journey.  I struggled for years and year, but I finally had enough  I knew I needed to stop making excuses.  People always want to know the best way lose weight but the reality is, most people have a good idea what to do, they just need to actually do it…consistently!

 

Best Way Lose Weight: Stop Making Excuses

If you want to get down to a healthy weight, you have to stop making excuses. You know what I’m talking about. It’s that little voice in the back of your head that tells you that you deserve to eat that doughnut because you’ve head a rough morning. Or the one that tells you that it’s too cold to go out for your nightly walk. We all have that little voice in our head. We also all have a choice each time that voice speaks up. We can listen to it, or we can choose to ignore it.

Ignoring that little voice and not making excuses isn’t easy, particularly in the beginning. But here’s the good news. As you start to ignore it more and more often and go work out or say no to the high-sugar, high-calorie treat, the softer that little voice gets.

Don’t Let Yourself Down

Here’s what it comes down to. Anytime you listen to that little voice or are making an excuse, you’re letting yourself down. In Girl, Wash Your Face, Rachel Hollis tells women to keep their commitments to themselves.  I love this!  It’s time to stop letting yourself down. Now is the time to honest with yourself.  Realize what you’re doing is sabotaging your success and Stop It! You’re important and so is your health and well-being.  If you haven’t believed that yet, now is the time to start putting yourself first because no one else will.

Whenever you’re tempted to skip a workout or indulge in an extra treat tell yourself that you won’t let yourself down. Put on those walking shoes and head out for a workout. Make a smart choice about the food you eat. Skip the soda and reach for a bottle of water instead. Don’t let yourself down.

You Are Worth It

You are worth the effort and hard work it is going to take to get down to a healthy weight. You are worth a healthy body that will support you in all endeavors for years and years to come.

We often focus on getting thin and more attractive for other people. Instead, do this for you, because you know deep down that you are worth it. It’s a much stronger motivator and no matter what happens with relationships along the way, your goal won’t change.

You Deserve The Best

You deserve a long and happy life. You deserve being able to go to any store in the mall and find a cute outfit that fits. You deserve being able to go on that beautiful hike in the mountains. You deserve having a fun game of tag with the kids in the park. You deserve to be the person you already see inside yourself.

Stop making excuses and remember that you are worth it, you deserve the best and don’t even think about letting yourself down.

I’ve Lost Over 10% of My Body Weight

June 1, 2011 By Lisa Leave a Comment

I’ve Lost Over 10% of My Body Weight

Weight Watchers Success

Today was a great day for me!  Not only did I hit my 10% weight loss goal, but I also hit my 25 pound loss since joining Weight Watchers.*  I’ve lost a total of just over 50 pounds so far and I have another 40 or so to go.

For those of you who’ve never been a part of Weight Watchers, Weight Watchers rewards you with stickers for each 5 pound loss as well as a sticker when you lose 5% of your body weight.  When you lose 10% of your body weight, they give you a key chain.  When you lose 25, 50, or 75 pounds, they give you a charm to go on your key chain.  Today, I got both my keychain and my 25 pound charm and I’m more motivated than ever to keep on going!

If you’re looking for a great weight loss program, I highly recommend Weight Watchers. Weight Watchers focuses on healthy living and provides you with the tools you need to make healthier choices!  I use the monthly pass and think it’s the best bang for your buck.

If you’re not a meetings kind of person, check out Weight Watchers Online.

*People following the Weight Watchers Plan can expect to lose 1-2 pounds per week.
