Fisrt there is the thinking phase, and then it will take a week or two, maybe more before you have a hard talk with yourself and gather enough courage to say, "I can do this, I will be lean and sexy for the summer season". In your haste to get on with it you run for the fridge, grab a carrot and start chewing.
The weekend goes by and you eat at least one extra portion per meal just to be able to remember what the good days were like before descending into the diet. On Sunday you force yourself into the car, go down to the grocery store to buy the food you will be devouring for the next few weeks.
Monday was reasonable, there was still enough food left in your system from Sunday so all seems to be in order and going well. Tuesday of course you have to walk into kitchen while the bacon and eggs are frying, they just look and smell so much nicer but your target is the fridge, yes the fridge, and strongly you go grab your daily share food.
This predicament we all find ourselves in when trying to lose that extra weight that has the uncanny ability to cling to our body on all the places we don't want them to be in the first place.
Other simpler forms if dieting might be the answer for you, where it is still possible to eat normally and have a normal lifestyle while addressing your weight loss problem. Take it slow and do not blast your body into the next dimension, take your time and follow the rules while still living your life.
