Weight loss made EASY
The Procrastinators Guide to Weight Loss
I was going to write this article a couple of months back, before beach weather, you know the time when everybody wants to lose weight and look their best for the season? But it seems one thing after another would distract me and I kept putting it off. I admit it.
Okay, so you figured out that I’m a procrastinator, but why am I writing about losing weight? I’m also a professional health and fitness coach, and I helped hundreds of people lose weight and become more fit over the years.
This article is about easy steps to weight loss. There, are however, two aspects I believe may be challenging. One is convincing you that you can easily lose weight, and two is getting you to start now (you are a procrastinator, aren’t you?).
Pay close attention NOW. I’m going to walk you through 4 EASY steps that will get you on your way to a slimmer, sexier you! In return for this valuable information, I only ask one thing of you, START NOW. Complete each easy weight loss step as directed before you move to the next step. Agreed? Okay then let’s get started.
Step One; See the end from the beginning. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! What the heck does that mean?” you asked. (or at least I imagined you would ask ). It simply means that to get to where we are going, we have to know where we want to end up, don’t we? Right now, and I mean NOW, perform this simple visualization exercise. Close your eyes and create, as detailed as possible, a picture of yourself the way you want to look. Make the picture colorful and vibrant. See the thin you that has been hiding inside. Got it? Hold on to that picture.
Step Two; Okay, stop. We have to talk. Did you do the first step? You didn’t think I ‘d forget my audience did you? If you didn’t do the first step, go back and do the first step now. Before you read any further, go on… if you are not going to do the first step, just give this article to someone who will DO the steps and actually lose weight. Geez!
Step Three; Now, go get your calendar and choose an exact date by which you would like to achieve the weight loss. Now! Go… Okay, you have the date? (A word of caution here- any more than 1 pound per week is unhealthy for most people and usually temporary at best. If you are unsure what is safe for you, consult a professional).
Step Four; Here is where it get’s slightly more complicated. Just hang in there, we got this far and after all, when was the last time you started something right away? There is power in momentum. Go to webmd.com. On that site find a simple metabolic calculator. This will help you estimate your daily calorie expenditure. Plug in your specific data.Subtract 500 from that number shown in the box. The answer is the estimated caloric intake you need for you to sustain weight loss at the rate of 1 pound per week. Put the newspaper down and go do that now, we’ll finish up when you get back.
So now you have a plan in place. You ready to start? I sincerely hope so. BUT, I have a sneaky suspicion…you’re not. And if that is because you still feel overwhelmed, you are not alone.
Procrastinators (like myself) can always find a few more reasons to wait; “ I don’t know what to eat” is a common excuse. Or, “I need someone to help me at the grocery store, I don’t know what to buy”. If I had a nickel for every time I heard…. Oh, never mind.
Any way, if you find yourself still procrastinating, hit the easy button. Call a professional. They can and will (for a fee) provide you with your exact metabolic profile and determine exactly how long it should take you to safely lose the weight AND KEEP IT OFF.
They should also be able to create custom shopping lists and customized meal templates for your specific needs. All you have to do is to follow a customized, spelled out to a T plan. It really is that simple.
If I’m not mistaken, I just took away your last excuse. That weight is not going away on it’s own. So get up and take action NOW! *
