Into Motivation

I am in trouble I now have to shop in the big men’s department at the clothing store. I sit on the furniture and it breaks. I spend way too much money on food. All of these signs point to the fact that I am fat and it is time to do something about it. The question is where do I start and what do I do?

Before I had figured out what I should do, I caught the program called the Biggest Loser which was about people who needed to lose weight. I went online and found out that the show had a website that included a link to the biggest loser forum where there were all sorts of helpful hints, tools and chat rooms that are dedicated to helping people lose weight. It was great to be able to find out that there was support out there for me in my quest. When you don’t have to face the prospect of losing weight alone, it is a much less daunting task. So I completed my first step by doing the research.

I then decided that I had to set some specific goals. I couldn’t wait any longer to lose a lot of weight. I knew that I had to learn how to lose weight fastbecause my health was in danger and if I did not act quickly, I might not get another chance to succeed, and like the people on the show I had watched, I decided that I could lose more than ten pounds a week if I worked hard enough. I was prepared for all the hard work that I knew lay ahead of me on my quest to lose weight.

I could not achieve the results by myself, I knew that I wouldn’t succeed by doing a handful of six pack ab exercises in the comfort of my own home whenever I could find the time to do it, and

I wanted some professional help. So I got off my sofa, and made my way down to the local gym. The gym was the best place for me to work out with the assistance of experts all around me. Some friends suggested that I go and get a physical before I started a fitness program. He was able to guide me in the proper way to getting fit and healthy. I was giving a workout routine by the people at the health club. The weight loss program has started.

All I thought about during this time was how great it would be to lose the weight, and I did all the work I could. There was no time for anything else. Because of my dedication I saw some results. The pounds were disappearing. In just the first month, I was able to lose over forty pounds. Suddenly the weight loss stopped and I couldn’t figure out what was going on. All of my support groups that I had developed informed me that this was normal and not to worry about it, just keep doing what I was doing. I took the advice and kept working out. Eventually the pounds started to disappear again. All the advice I was given was correct, and I knew I was succeeding.

I have made a major impact on my life by making the decision to lose weight and have been very successful going from over four hundred pound to about two hundred and thirty pounds in under a year. It has been very difficult, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. I have added over a decade to my life expectancy by getting healthy. I am well respected at my gym for what I have accomplished. My self esteem is soaring due to the fact that I like the way that I look now. The best part of the journey has not been losing the weight although I wouldn’t want it back. The greatest benefit is the improvement of my own self image. I could not get that for any amount of money.
