It's the small things that count! (part one)

When it comes to losing weight it truly is the small things that count. Think in reverse to really understand this concept. What small things did you do to get this fat?

• Did you eat until you were bloated or just until you were satisfied?

• Did you eat constantly throughout the day, or just had 3 or 5 small meals?

• Did you have desert after most meals, or once a day?

• Did you eat at fast food places everyday?

• Did you bring a lunch to work or did you eat out?

• Did you take the elevator instead of the stairs?

• Did you sit in front of the TV and eat?

• Did you go for a walk everyday or just watch TV?

• Did you pick fattening and sweet food over fresh healthy food?

• Instead of learning how to make your own food did you buy packaged and prepared food?

• Do you snack on chips and chocolate bars?

The wrong choices are endless but each small thing you do and did wrong added a pound to your dilemma. Life is like that, just a bunch of small choices that end up adding to one big problem. So what is the answer?  You could go on a starvation diet and lose the fat but just end up gaining it right back. Or you could do the small things that count to make a positive difference in weight loss.  Remember I said small things. Literally bite sized things.

The next few posts will cover some of the positive small things that count to help make you successful in losing the weight.  Stay tuned.
