IN Article 3 i am going to tell you how to get to the point where you actually feel good about yourself and how to make the weight losing program self perpetuating and easy. I will set out 5 simple tips to follow to get you on your way to shedding that excess baggage:

TIP 1: Set small, realistic goals. If you have a lot of weight to lose, try for 1 pound at a time, get a good weighing scales that can accurately gauge minute changes in your weight - these will improve your self esteem too and as we know if you look after the pennies, the pounds will look after themselves.

TIP 2: Start a regular exercise program like those i have at the end of the article and stick with it. Do your exercises somewhere that you are not embarrassed to be yourself, if you do not do this, you are guaranteed to throw in the towel, maybe start off in your own home and then as you progress through your program, move outdoors and show off your new look, more self esteem points!

TIP 3: Sneak in extra exercises in addition to your regular program. Go above and beyond the bar set out by the program, even one extra repetition of a given exercise will show through.

TIP 4: Eat low-fat, high-fibre foods such as salads, vegetable & pastas. If possible take a cookery class in conjunction with your weight loss program. You will learn ways to cook and eat healthier foods & lets face it, nobody likes eating the afforementioned foods all the time, so maybe you will find ways to spice them up a bit.

TIP 5: This is possibly the most important tip. Treat yourself every now and again to whatever it is you are missing the most, whether it be a pizza, full fat ice cream or the Mississippi mud pie. If you are always on the defensive with the food you like eating, it WILL eventually break you and before you know it, you've got your head stuck in the fridge devouring all its contents. These things do happen, the human brain is very good at tricking its owner into submission, even if the craving is for something that is bad for your health, ask any smoker!! All it takes is something to trigger it. A word of warning with this tip. DO NOT treat this tip nonchalantly, ensure that you treat yourself with small portions and at a regular, timed intervals, say, once every two weeks or so.

In Article 4 i will outline the psychological reasons for failing such programs and the resultant effect it has on the person that has failed. I hope you have found this article educational.
