There are so many options to lose weight, but you have to pick the one that will work for you. I chose Medi Weight Loss Clinics in Charlotte and it was the best thing I ever did. They have the knowledge, they have the motivation when you are having a bad day, and they guide and encourage you each step of the way. If you have not looked into them, you should. Don't try to do it alone. They will help you succeed and help you keep it off.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1570138051930167169.post-85187073916375383492011-09-09T12:20:47.509-04:002011-09-09T12:20:47.509-04:00For me willpower is something I have to constantly...For me willpower is something I have to constantly work on. It is a determination not to let a slight slip up, e.g. a weight gain, derail what I want. It means pushing that out of my mind and not letting it put me into a negative frame of mind. It takes constant focus to think about what I am eating and sometimes why I'm eating it (am I eating because I'm hungry...am I stressed...upset)? For me willpower takes constant reinforcement so I don't slide back into old habits.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1570138051930167169.post-35741190215469198102011-09-09T09:12:40.988-04:002011-09-09T09:12:40.988-04:00I think you have to find what motivates you and le...I think you have to find what motivates you and let that be your willpower.<br /><br />Personally, about 7 years ago I decided that if I remained heavy I could come to enjoy taking medications, having joint problems and living a shorter life. Or, I could eat right and be fit and participate in my children's lives and improve the quality of my own life. <br /><br />The universal truth of people who lose weight and get in shape is the realization as to how much of life they were missing by choosing to be fat. <br /><br />Example - a couple of years back my kid said she wanted to do a 5K. Because I was in shape I signed us up for one the next weekend. That's a memory we both have now. If I was fat, I would have made some excuse and missed out on something irreplaceable. Being fat means a lot more than just carrying extra pounds. It is a conscious decision to sit on the sidelines of life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
