Steps to take before loosing weight

Congratulations! you decided to loose weight and change your life!!! That's so exciting, even if you don't realize it quiet yet.
If you know nothing about diet and exercise and ways to loose wight, here are the steps to take:

1. Buy weight, you will need to weigh yourself every week in order to monitor your progress.

2. Educate yourself about healthy eating ( the following post)

3. Stay FOCUSED and Motivated. What I would recommend is that to find a picture of a person that you admire and stick it on you fridge in a very noticeable place. Also keep you weight in the kitchen as a reminder.

4. Clean up your refrigerator and pantry. All ice cream, cookies, candies, chips, salty snacks, chocolate, butter, salad dressings, frozen meals, pizza, pies, fat sauces all of that has to go. And you don't need to put it in trash, just take to the closest shelter. Trust some people need that food much more than you do.

5. Find your way to exercise. If you can afford to pay for the gym then go for it, if you can't, not a big deal, you can easily workout at home with the weight of your own body. I would also recommend DVD workouts and just free online workouts. ( Read more in the next post about the workouts.

6. Create the image of yourself after you loose wight and keep it in mind.

7. Don't get tempted by other people who will try to make you fail.

8. Don't try to find excuses for yourself.

9. Don't cheat. Remember that you are not cheating people around, you are cheating yourself.

10. When you loose first couple of pounds, do not celebrate it with food, otherwise they will come back very fast.

11. Focus, focus, focus... Do not loose you focus even for one minute.

12. Remember that what you are going thru is not forever. You will be able to go to restaurants and eat out. But eventually whatever you will be eating won't show on your stomach and thighs. Your body will be functioning correctly and that's what is important.

13. Remember, that it's so worth it. You will be able to do so many different things and you will find other happiness in life besides food. You will be able to do things that you couldn't even dream about.

14. Push yourself hard and you will see so much more.

15. NEVER say I CAN'T. It's not allowed to say "I can'", because you can do anything you set your mind to.

16. Don't have a looser attitude, stay a Winner. Look at it as a project at the end of which you will be greatly awarded.

17. Remember the importance of loosing weight, by loosing weight you are enabling yourself to do so much more and extending you life.

18. Take as much as you can from your life, enjoy it 100% instead of 30%.

19. No matter how hard it is, DON'T GIVE UP.

20. Remember, that it won't be forever like this. You will find your favorite foods among the variety of health food. And I would like to break one more stereotype, Healthy food doesn't mean something that doesn't taste good and you have to push yourself to eat it. It's not true, it's just a name, healthy food is a kind of food that is good for you and it tastes delicious!!!

Good luck in your transformation and discovering of new you!!!!
