Why Quick Weight Loss Diets

I always wonder why people are looking for quick weight loss diets. Most of us did not gain the weight quickly, but we think we should be able to get rid of it in the blink of an eye. You are most likely not going to lose 30 pounds in a month unless you are doing something dangerous or you have over a 100 pounds to lose. The best thing you can do is select a sensible weight loss plan, exercise regularly and go along for the ride.

Try to learn about yourself and make your life better. Try to figure what triggers you to eat when you are not hungry and deal with these situations. If you are successful at getting the weight of quickly, chances are you will not keep it off and that will not be the last time you will be trying to lose that weight. I never have understood trying to attain goals that are out of reach. You may not be able to lose 40 pounds before the big event, but why not aim for 20 pounds and set an attainable for goal for the other 20 after the event. Nothing motivates me more than reaching a goal.

With that being said, I am going to set a goal of losing 15 pounds before my son’s graduation. The date is May 26 and that leaves me with about 10 weeks. That is a sensible 1.5 pounds per week and should be attainable as long as I stay focused and don’t let emotional eating or eating out of boredom get in the way. I will try to post regularly about my progress.

Their is nothing wrong with quick weight loss diets as long as you go into it with your eyes open. If you have ever seen the TV show “The Biggest Loser” you know that weight can be lost quickly, but they spend several hours a day working out and their workouts are not for the faint of heart.

For me the biggest part of losing weight is mental. I know what contains excess fat, sugar and calories. But my mind wants it more than my body needs it. Something tells me I am not in that boat alone.
