Lost Any Easy Weight Lately?

We are now well into the year and many have resolved that this is the year that they
will lose that weight that they have been looking at all of these years.  But - how many
of us have already given up?

We know that losing weight is not easy, but it does not have to be excruciating either.
As a Personal Trainer and Mental Training Coach, I constantly battle with the misconception
that "I just can't lose weight, no matter what I do!" feelings.  While it is true that many people DO have an easy time losing weight, it is NEVER impossible.  Bottom line is that if I am overweight, Then I need to move more (exercise), and eat less.

Weight loss, like any other worthwhile endeavor, take time if you are going to do it right.
You don't learn how to play a piano in a few weeks.  Likewise, losing weight takes learning
how to eat correctly (for your body and physiology), and making correct eating a part of you.
Some people just naturally are able to lose weight more easily than others, just as some
individuals find themselves playing songs on the piano after only a few months.

Just as learning is different, so does the physiology of our bodies differ from person to
person.  If I walk for an hour, I might burn off 100 calories, while someone else might
walk the same route, for the same amount of time, and burn off 120 calories. That's life!

Everyone want the "Quick Fix" and easy weight loss.  Here is my answer: The quicker that
you get off your butt and start moving more and eating less, the sooner you will begin
seeing yourself lose weight.  Easy? NO!  Doable?  Of course.
