Like it or not... sad but true... in today's 'pretty' society there are social and career successes that are tied to how one looks or their appearance. Today's popular and marketed image is that being fit and successful are ultimately tied together.

The weight loss industry and the marketing of such is huge. More and more people today are feeling the effects of an internet / sedentary lifestyle in which their physical activity has literally slowed to a crawl. So, if you're ready to drop some of those lbs let's take a look at the simple, honest, brutal truth.

The first thing you need to do is take an honest look at your diet. In fact, don't rely on your memory and speculation. If you want to get serious about this then start keeping a diet (what you eat each day) journal. Leave nothing to recollection. If you put it in your mouth then write it down.

This alone is usually an eye opener for everyone... even those that just feel like they want to lose only a few extra pounds. After a week or two do some honest evaluation about your eating habits. Do you rely too much on fast food, junk food, convenience food... whatever you want to call it.

Are you getting any fruits and veggies at all?

If you want to get on the road to changing your lifestyle and losing weight, you have to get off of the high powered junk foods first and start eating healthier.

You must understand that your body does not like to 'throw things away' that it may have to use later... such as energy. When you eat foods that contain more energy that your body needs, it will not just discard this excess potential energy... it will store it in case it needs it later... can you say fat.

The problem for all of us is that our stomach doesn't get on board right away and cries out for food. The key... to eat healthy foods that are much more frugal in potential energy (calories) and eat them is smaller more frequent portions. This keeps the stomach (appetite) suppressed and gives your body the energy it needs without going overboard and storing energy (fat).

If you're overweight, begin to take baby steps with your exercise. The goal is to initiate a change in your lifestyle not train for a triathlon and then crash and burn.

Start with a walk a day. Short and as brisk as you can early on. On you walk, focus on everything around you and use this time to decompress and relieve stress. Soon your walks will become a nice treat for you that you will genuinely look forward to... and this a good thing. Celebrate these small daily successes. Seriously, if your first walk is only for a minute or two, that's great! Next week, we'll go for three... and so on!

Of course the more you can physically build to the more efficient your body will become... and by the way... the more your cravings for those 'dangerous' will subside. You'll now be moving toward a positive lifestyle loop. Just keep 'rinsing and repeating' and your body... and your mind will respond!

There you have it. A whopping two part approach to losing weight, gaining more energy, and feeling better. No matter what the diet. What the weight loss plan, and there are thousands upon thousands, they will all boil down to these two strategies.

If you struggle with your weight... I don't like the word 'diet'. To me when people are on the latest 'diet' the implication is that there is an ending point. A point in time when you no longer have to be on 'the diet'.

If you struggle with your weight this being on a 'diet' is nonsense and the completely wrong mental approach for you. Think changing your life style not 'going on a diet'. And when you've lost some weight and people begin to ask you what 'diet' you've been using.... say "I'm not on any specific diet. Rather, I've changed my lifestyle and I'm now (and forevermore)eating much healthier."
