I find that often times my actions do not match what I believe. I find that I often preach to others what they should be doing but in review of my actions, I am doing something completely different and sometimes even opposite.    I came to the realization that the reason behind this problem was that I was living to please others. What does that mean? I was busy caring about everyone else’s feelings and disregarding mine. I used to overextend myself, doing anything anyone asked to honor their feelings. I did not want anyone to think I was not nice or that I was selfish.   Losing weight is not that complicated. The formula for weight loss is actually quite simple, however we humans tend to like to complicate things. We make it even more complicated when we approach it with the need for instant gratification.    After working one on one with many clients and talking to hundreds of people through the years, I think I can say with some authority that the fa...

I walked, weight trained and did various exercise and because of this, I deserve a reward for my good behavior. This thinking, leads us to consume a full day’s calories every night.    The truth is they are deserving of a treat, but treating themselves badly. Treats should be consumed spa...

A lot of us are knowledgeable and are very aware of things that we should and could be doing, yet we fail to do it. In other words my actions does not match up with what I believe.    The more I thought about, the more I came to the realization that the reason I failed to practice certain things was because I tend to care about people’s perception of me. I allowed and continue to allow people’s thoughts and concern to affect my life.  I used to overextend myself in doing anything asked of me in order to honor the feelings of others. I lived in this manner because I did not want to be perceived as someone who was selfish and not nice.     Losing weight is not complicated. It is us as humans that choose to make everything we do difficult. One of the main reason we find it to be difficult is because we tend to approach weight loss with instant gratification.    Having worked one on one with many clients and talking to hundreds of people througho...
