Develop the Losing Weight Forever Mindset

- By: pmen48

Losing weight is in many ways comparable to starting an online business, if one does not have the proper mindset at the beginning of the venture, that is “I am going to succeed”, the final outcome, more often than not, is failure. It is documented that 95 per cent of all new businesses fail, the same could likewise be said for attempts to lose weight.

But it is not enough just to have the “I am going to lose weight and succeed” mindset. One must look ahead and ask themselves where is this leading me? The “Big Picture” so to speak must be taken into consideration. Do I just want to lose a quick 10 or 20 pounds and six months down the road be back in the same situation that I am in now, or, do I want to lose those pounds and keep them off forever? This is where the “I am going to succeed and lose weight forever” mindset is developed and one, which in my opinion , all must possess in order to deem their weight loss a true success.

The overweight person in their quest to lose weight often goes through a series of different mindsets. The first is the “I am happy the way I am” mindset. I am, in fact, envious of those whom are totally happy with the way their body looks, very few of these people exist, but this, in my opinion, is the most dangerous state to be in. Not only are you putting yourself at risk for long term chronic diseases caused by being overweight but you are effectively shortening your lifespan depriving your family and your children of the time that they will able to spend with you. Thankfully most abandon this stage in their early teens once they become attracted to the opposite sex.

The moment that you enter the “I have to do something and now” stage signals that you are almost there. Don’t sit on the fence about what to do, act now. Research different diets and exercise plans, consult your family doctor if you are grossly overweight and pick the plan that is right for you. Keep the long range plan in view.

The “I am going to succeed and lose weight forever” mindset is the approach to take. Short term weight loss is not the answer. Completely forget your old lifestyle of overeating, inactivity and consuming unhealthy foods and adopt your new regimen with open arms. You are not entering a life of perpetual starvation but becoming a new better you. Your self esteem and confidence will increase as you realize that if I can do this I can do anything. Soon it will become second nature and a healthier, longer life lies ahead of you.

It's Never Too Late to Get Healthy!

It's Never Too Late to Get Healthy!- By: Jackie Orman

Description : Fitness and wellness are important at any age, and if you want to be an active baby boomer even into your senior years, you need to pay attention to your physical fitness levels and start an exercise program if you don't have one in place already.

You might think that it's impossible to get in shape if you've spent most of your life unhealthy or not working out much, but the truth is it is never too late to start taking better care of your body.

Exercises for seniors might be a little bit different from the ones you did when you were younger, but they're just as effective at helping you lose weight, improving your stamina, giving you better balance and providing more energy to get you through your day.

There are many great reasons to work out and be healthy throughout your life, but getting and being healthy as you reach your golden years is particularly important. Getting regular exercise can help prevent disease, potentially extending your life. If you have health problems now like diabetes and high blood pressure, you may be able to reduce or eliminate symptoms and stop taking medications (always check with your doctor before stopping any prescribed drug).

Being in good health means you'll have more energy for the things you want to do now that you're facing retirement, whether that's spending more time on a hobby, visiting the grandkids more often or traveling the world.

Exercise can help you lose weight or keep you from gaining weight as you age, which is a big concern as being overweight puts more stress on your body.

Physical fitness is also great for your mental health. It can help reduce feelings of depression and anxiety and improve your psychological state, boost your mood and make you feel more energetic.

Working out, even if it's just going for a walk or doing some light weight exercise while watching television, is a great activity to do with your spouse, and the health benefits of exercise for baby boomers translate equally for both men and women.

You don't need a lot of equipment to get started and you don't have to make a big investment in time or money. You don't need to join a health club where you'll be surrounded by hard bodies half your age that just wish you'd get out of their way.

Little steps toward health and fitness can make a big difference, and you can start today just by heading out the door for a walk around the neighborhood. Why not take control of your health and well-being now, while you still can?
