How can I lose weight?

It's a sad fact of dieting that many of those who lose weight will gain it all back again. There are some people who go back and forth between being thin and being fat. They have a variety of sizes of clothing in their closet and live a life of cycling between fit and fat. And these are big changes, up to a hundred pounds or more difference. There are a lot of reasons why people fail to go through natural weight loss and end up in a dieting yo-yo.

It seems that we can't keep focused both emotionally and mentally on losing weight. We lose the self-discipline and the control over our bodies and the whole thing goes bad, along with our svelte bodies. We know that dieting is mostly in our heads and it isn't about going on the treadmill and watching our fat grams and calories. You need to have thinness in your head to maintain our focus and our commitment to staying slim over the long haul. It takes a lot longer than just a month to change our habits and many of us cannot undo many years of behaviors that have been destructive to us. Natural weight loss takes a lot longer than we think to stay focused.

We also do bad things to our body. We take diuretics and laxatives. We work out three times a day and we take fat-absorbing supplements. You'll lose too much muscle and water on these kinds of extreme diets. We think we can overcome alcohol, drugs, too much food, no sleep, over and under-training, cigarettes and drugs and, in actuality, we can't.

We stick to a diet great, for a week or so-not enough to sustain weight loss. We try a diet of just water and watermelon and think we can keep it up for more than a week or we stuff ourselves on grapefruit and boiled eggs, thinking this will help us lose the weight and it doesn't because we can't stick to natural weight loss.

We are also good at getting in shape for a reunion, wedding or big social event but forget to get in shape for the rest of our lives. We can alter our behavior for the short term but it's all temporary behaviors-on the way to getting back to our normal, bad behaviors when the event is over with.

We don't plan for natural weight loss after the initial weight is lost. We do a bad job of weight loss maintenance. We begin to eat as soon as we've reached our goal weight and we don't stop until the weight is completely out of our control again. Six months later, we find that our slim physique has gone by the wayside and we're gaining the weight back again.

Losing weight is not an easy proposition. It involves keeping healthy habits, healthy behavior and weight maintenance for the rest of our lives.
