Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 I see posts on different groups that say " if I take this pill, will it make me lose weight? " or " if I exercise, will it make me lose weight? " or " if I follow this plan, will it make me lose weight? " Well, the fact is nothing will " make " you lose weight. You have to do it yourself. You have to want to do it enough. Evercise would be a good idea even if it didn't help yoyu lose weight (and it DOES help) because exercise DECREASES your appetite (yes, it's true) and helps you feel better not only physically, but about yourself. Willpower is not really an issue, people THINK it is, but it isn't. An act of will is a simple thing, you decide to do something and you just do it. In order to lose weight, you have to want to. If the desire is there, then you can do it. Don't think " it will take 6 months (or whatever length of time) I don't want to wait that long " . Instead think " What will I look look/feel in 6 months if I don't lose the weight?

Guest guest Posted October 20, 2002 Report Share Posted October 20, 2002 , Very true! If you depend on a pill then the weight will never stay off. It has to be lifestyle and habit changes.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 Hi , I know since I have changed my eating habits I am starting to feel much better. Even my cravings for the kind of food I want is changing. I still have to be strong when it comes to certain things. Like yesterday I saw the Wisconsin Cheese chips by Lays. How I wanted to try those. My will power to lose the weight though seems to outweight trying all these " bad " foods. Yes, I also think you are very correct in saying you have to want it for yourself and not necessarily anyone else, but who does not get tired of lugging around all that extra weight eventually? I think all of us find what works for us. Mine right now tends to be do I want the good taste right now (short term) or getting in shape (long term) thinking. Oh yes.. and emotional eating. I think I have been there. That can be hard. Dianne -- In weightlossbuddies2@y..., " in MO " <gran_susan@a...> wrote: > > I think we have to lose weight for ourselves to be successful.

Guest guest Posted October 27, 2002 Report Share Posted October 27, 2002 , Very well put. We can't do anything for somebody else. It has to be for our well being and feeling good about ourselves. I am so thankful that my husband never once said a thing to me about my weight. He new I beat myself up enough about it and that when I was ready I would do it. We have to love ourselves and take care of ourselves first to be there for others. Hugs, Gena > > I think we have to lose weight for ourselves to be successful.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2002 Report Share Posted November 3, 2002 I AGREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice thought!!!!!!!!! Jacy -------Original Message------- I think when we are trying to lose weight, there are sometimes people in our lives that can really be a pain. " You only lost 10 lbs in a month and a half? I could lose that much in a week " or " You look terrible. Have you been ill? " or " Go ahead, one won't hurt your diet. " or " What kind of diet is that? The best diet is....(or " the best way to lose weight is.. " ) Why do they do this? Who knows? Jealously, studidity, maybe they really don't know any better. Well, ignore them. You get to make your own decisions. It doesn't matter if what " they " think. It's YOUR life, YOUR body. Do it YOUR way. -- in MO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
