Remember What the Goal is!

If you are reading this, it is probably because you want to find success with your own weight management, or I guilted you into it. :)

If it's the former, please remember what your goal is, or should be.  Don't focus on what you can do for the next 4 weeks or so to get into a dress or ready for the summer.  Do what you should have been doing for the last couple of years so that you would even be in this situation.

-Don't be overly aggressive with your weight loss. Too fast, too soon usually means a quick fix and results don't last.

-Don't starve yourself.  Not enough calories can lead to malnutrition and a metabolism that slows down.

-Don't focus only on food.  Most people (by a large margin) that keep their weight off also exercise.

-Don't injure yourself.  If you try to engage in too much exercise too soon, an injury might be looming.

Big picture, if you want a thinner and healthier body with a lower body fat, enroll yourself in the marathon and not the spirit.  A short-term mentality won't lead to life long changes.
