Losing Weight

The idea of dieting scares many people for a variety of reasons, but it shouldn't if you change you way of thinking about losing weight.

Here are some ideas to help you get started:

• Look it losing weight as making lifestyle choices to better your health. You choose to walk every day. You choose to eat more fruits and vegetables.
• Get fit with a group of friends or family members. If that is not possible, then join a health club that meets your needs, which will then improve the chances of meeting people to help encourage you.
• Journal what you eat and the calories. When you are more aware of what you are eating and drinking because you see the results in a notebook or journal, then you are more likely to better decide if you really want to eat or drink.
• Hang around with positive thinking people. That DOES make a difference and will likely help you stick with your life style choices.

It is best to consult your physician when it comes to your health and weight. Also, it is best to lose weight slowly and not quickly.
