================== ARTICLE START ==================

If you happen to be among the millions of people who are weight

impaired, you may have already considered, or even tried many

alternatives for losing weight, and you may still be seeking

that one magic " remedy " .

Sadly, there are no magic remedies, diet pills, or supplements

for losing weight. It takes desire, persistence, and lots of

accurate information seasoned with ample amounts of supportive

and caring guidance, to succeed.

Through the trials and tribulations of many failed weight loss

plans, we now know that if you try to manage your weight by

making too many radical changes to your diet and your

lifestyle,

you will eventually fail.

For a diet plan to be successful it must fit within the

boundaries of normal day-to-day habits and activities. It must

allow for the consumption of familiar foods in familiar and

traditional social settings.

The exclusion of " taboo " foods or your favorite fast food

restaurant is generally a set-up for eventual dieting failure.

When you stop to think about it, isn't it usually the things

you are told that you can't do or can't have that you desire

the most! It's a part of human nature. We want what we can't

have!

So take it away from us, and surely this is exactly what we

will want and crave most! The most highly regarded sources of

information agree that we tend to focus on what we can't have,

including the foods we eat.(see what the Bible has to say about

it; Romans 7:14-15).

A good plan for losing weight should not try to radically

change your eating behavior. The plan should adapt to your

daily activities and eating habits, and of course any good plan

should incorporate the benefits of good nutrition,

convenience,and above all, practicality.

The bottom line is that we are all very busy people without a

lot of time to spare. We're not very likely to turn our busy

lifestyles upside down to follow some restrictive plan for

losing weight.

Maybe a few will work for a short period of time, but the facts

don't lie. Although the " crash " weight loss diets may work for a

short while, most of us will find that before long the pounds

will start to begin to creep back on.

After all, we are not going give-up eating at fast food and

sit-down restaurants when we need a quick meal or snack, and we

are unlikely to stop eating with business associates, good

friends and family.

It is very difficult therefore,(if not impossible)to follow

dieting guidelines on special meal occasions such as these!

We are not going to completely eliminate the foods we love and

crave, and we're most definitely not going to waste precious

time preparing special dietary meals from " scratch " every day!

Therefore it is very important to know that you don't have to

stop doing any of the above to lose weight.

You can look and feel like a million bucks, take years off your

appearance and have the energy and vitality to accomplish your

dreams, by following a few simple guidelines.

Here they are...

Take It One Step At A Time.

Some of the greatest accomplishments in life begin by taking

one small step at a time. When we are challenged to think

deeply, encouraged by others to succeed, and ultimately

inspired to take

action, great things start to happen!

If you have important weight loss goals you are not

achieving,try to spend less time worrying about all the

possible " causes " and start concentrating on how you can make

progress.

This is one of the keys to moving forward and a simple, but

powerful tool for success.

Assess Your Dietary Needs And Lifestyle.

Awareness is the key, so take some time to learn about your

specific dietary needs (caloric intake) and daily energy

requirements for example. We're talking a basic understanding

here, and not having to go into any great detail.

Seek Advice From Friends And Trusted Authorities.

Don't believe everything you hear! There are thousands of diet

" scams " on the market. When you find a trusted source, ask as

many questions as you can about diet and exercise. Find out

what

has worked for others. But always be on-guard for the " quick

fix " approach...it won't work in the majority of cases.

Start Creating A System Of Support.

About 85% of our " happiness " and well-being is determined by

the quality of our relationships with other people. Loving,

caring relationships and a network of friends, family, and

colleagues

lowers stress, increases longevity, and helps us to accomplish

our goals in life (including losing weight).

We are social creatures and we do our best when we have friends

to cheer us on, offer support, give advice, and hold us

accountable when necessary. This makes it easy for us to

succeed.

So, surround yourself with people, tools and activities that

make it more likely for you to succeed than to fail! Arrange

your living environment and social situations so that every

thing around you pulls your forward, instead of possibly

leaving you totally de-motivated.

Use Your Resources.

Read motivational tips, general health information and any

other literature you can get your hands-on. Information is

power!

NOW TAKE THE FIRST STEP

There you have it. So you can get started today, and make sure

your whole approach is controlled, rational and methodical. If

you can take the " long term view, " and set yourself realistic

" achievable " goals you will most surely succeed.
