Permanent Weight Loss - A Breakthrough?

For people who are overweight or obese, permanent weight loss is something that you want more than anything else. It's not much fun carrying around a lot of weight, is it? In your dreams you imagine what it might be like to be slim and to be able to do what everybody else does. It seems such a far off aspiration sometimes, but it is possible to achieve permanent weight loss. It is possible to get rid of all those unwanted pounds?

Next time you see an advertisement for a diet, just have a closer look and see if you see any reference to permanent weight loss. It's very unlikely that you will. Why? Because diets don't deliver permanent weight loss, that's why. All you get is short-term weight loss, and what use is that?

Food has become a symbol of instant gratification. We want something so we can have it, why not? We all enjoy food and today it is very tasty and tempting. Whether a lot of what we eat is good for us or not is another matter. The size of our waists is testament to our love affair with food.

Permanent weight loss is not about going on a diet, it is about making change. Most people go on a diet and never address what made them overweight in the first place. They don't change anything. The result is that they will always be overweight - regardless how many diets they go on. In fact the more diets they go on, the more fat they will accumulate!

Change is not difficult, but it is essential if you want to lose weight permanently.

The first thing you need to do if you want to make successful change is to recognize your bad habits. These are the ones that make you fat. Next you need to learn new habits, slim habits. This will allow you to make change. Change = new behaviors. New behaviors = permanent weight loss.
