How can you lose weight without dieting or being active? Well the answer is simple - you can't! There are so many quick fix diets out there promising you the earth and delivering little. Let's face it we all know deep down that it's literally impossible to lose 10 pounds in 7 days (like one of those fads that are currently being advertised on the net) - ok so you might lose it on the scales. But think about it - what have you actually lost? Certainly not fat that's for sure - only a whole heap of fluid. And once you finish that fad diet, we all know what happens then don't we? The weight all comes back on in no time - and the worst part about it is most of the time you end up heavier that you were in the first place. This wreaks havoc on your self esteem - I know cause I been there - many times over and over.
In all my time dieting, exercising, starving myself etc. I've come to realise the only way is to eat healthy and to be active. Eating healthy can be hard you might say - well that is true, how do you pass by all those yummy things in the shop and not buy them? Everything is so tempting!!! It's called will power, and it's so hard to get. What you have to ask yourself is how bad do I want to lose weight and be healthy? How important is your health to you? If it's really important and the desire is there, it really won't be hard work at all. Remember, dieting should never be for a set period of time - for example you might want to lose 10 pounds in 10 weeks - its ok to set goals for yourself - we need them, but remember what you are doing to become healthy is something that you should be able to continue doing for the rest of your life, not just for the next 10 weeks or so, and then go back to the habits you originally had.
What about the exercise? I hear you say - I can't be bothered, all too hard and besides I don't have the time!!! Again, that may be true, but you probably haven't found the right type of exercise for your self. Exercise isn't meant to be feared!! It's meant to be enjoyable, and there are so many forms of it out there too. You don't have to join a gym to exercise, it may be going for 30 minute walks 5 nights of the week or so, or swimming, or even just doing the gardening. The whole point is to be active - so get off the couch and move your butt! You also need to stop using 'I don't have the time' as an excuse - cause that's all it is - an excuse - there is always time for exercise, like I said you just have to find the right type for yourself. It may be just using the stairs at work, or getting off a bus stop earlier and walking the rest of the way to work. There are endless things you can do.
Having said all this - there is also one other must have when it comes to eating healthy and being active - having a support network. Having your friends and family around you supporting your efforts to lose weight and look after yourself is paramount to you succeeding. You need all the support you can get, and without it, it can be quite hard to get motivated and stay on track. Sure we all have times when we go off track, but that's when that support is most crucial in helping you get back to what it is you really want.
