Your life can change today. I am so excited that you are reading this blog. I’m excited for you and for the joy that losing weight is going to bring to your life. How many times have you heard someone say dreadfully, “my diet starts tomorrow,” or “Ugh, my doctor says I have to lose weight?” Stop looking at weight loss as a chore. Get pumped up and excited because your life will soon be defined by feeling good and healthy, extra energy and zest for life. I have several clients that let excess weight define and limit them. One client spends her days miserable because she can’t do the things she’d like to do because of her weight. On a recent vacation, her family and friends golfed and walked on the beach while she sat watching. Excess weight was killing her spirit. She’s now 18 pounds down and gets a little of her life back every day. Imagine the joyous days she has ahead of her as she continues to shed 180 more pounds of extra weight.
In addition to my usual advice (pick two colors and a protein morning, noon and night – see Nutrition 101), here are some unconventional tips for weight loss. Losing weight is more than just “diet.” Follow these tips and you’ll be feeling great in no time!
