You are probably reading this because you are interested in losing or controlling your weight. No matter how hard you try, you can't get to the weight you want.
I've got some good news and bad news. The good news is, this short and simple post will show you how to get your desired weight.
The bad news is ... you probably won't believe me.
There are countless methods out there to control your weight and the logic in these methods is the same:
Your weight goes up when you take in more calories than you burn off and your weight goes down when you take in fewer calories than you burn off.
That's it. Nothing more nothing less.
So how can you get the weight you want?
Remember this key idea:
Your current weight is the sum of all your actions in the past year.
What does this mean?
If you want to control your weight, you have to ... control your actions.
You alone have all the resources necessary to control your weight. You don't need a special diet, a personal trainer, a weight loss drug, etc. All you have to do is take responsibility for your weight and take action to get to where you want to go.
If you are looking to lose weight, find ways to take in fewer calories (healthier diet, proper rest) and/or burn more calories (exercise). More importantly, be aware of what prevents you from eating healthier, sleeping better or exercising more and create a plan to remove those barriers.
Remember: Your current weight is the sum of all your action in the past year. When you change your actions, you change your weight.
You have full control.
thats true you must control the weight ….. and i like the good news xD =)
Having choice is always good news. Thanks for the comment nadal.
Robert, great article. How do you feel about the change in bidy chemistry as you get older such as Men over 40? I’ve had to adjust many of my clents meal plans because they just was processing food and gaining the results they wanted (I wanted to share my website for you to take a look but didn’t want to be viewed as spam). We were working hard, but it was as a result of basing their diets on their age an activities…Thoughts?
Thanks Spencer – I believe it’s important to be attuned to our individual needs whether it’s age, work situation, environment, etc. Looks like you’re doing the same with your adjustments of client meal plans.
Hello Robert, I found your article really informative and well researched. I totally agree with “If we want to control our weight, we have to … control our actions”. Everyone one should control their body weight because in my opinion “Your Ideal Weight shows your Ideal Personality” and if we want our personality to be ideal then controlling our weight is really important.
Nice article! There is best advice to maintain a healthy weight in this article. I will definitely follow your advice. Thanks a lot for sharing.
Thanks Harvey
