“If You Want To Get Abs Why On Earth Do You Spend So Much Time Doing Situps?” – How I Lost Weight By Working Smart. – Part 1
I was just thinking about how many people start a fat loss routine and either end up losing no weight or gaining on it. Exercises like HIIT are great for losing weight but the devil of weight loss is really in the details. There are three things that i found important when trying to lose fat.
I was overweight a few years ago, it wasn’t much fun, I felt ugly and it felt almost like I was helpless to change the situation, I couldn’t move myself to fix it. I got the occasional “you are fine as you are, people should like you for your personality…….”, not exactly what I wanted hear.
I can remember when me and my friends went to a bar one evening after work, where we were to sit on some white plastic stools and a friend said that it wouldn’t sustain my weight. I understand it was simply a joke and I also laughed with my friends but somewhere in my heart it really felt bad. I’m a fun loving person but it actually forced me to wonder what people think about me when they saw me. It acted like a catalyst that motivated me to shed some weight and did it, it was really great.
I was lean and I liked it. I enjoyed the compliments, clothes look great on me, I love catching those secret glances that come my way and its fantastic being an example for other people. Being lean is great, it’s what you really want. So why do you want to stay fat? I don’t want to stay fat!!! Really?, well here’s the thing, getting lean is no secret. The perfect workout to lose belly fat, the right food – these things are not mysteries anymore, the tools for losing weight very quickly are right at your fingertips…so what’s the problem?
I know how mentally difficult it is to begin and stay with an exercise and diet plan designed to lose belly fat, until I really decided to commit to a program, many excuses, such as, “I’ll start on Monday,” or “I’ll skip the gym today but go tomorrow.” used to stop me from going to exercise.
I think the challenge of losing stomach fat changes you more on the inside than the outside and I think it’s those changes that shine through. Try something, close your ideas and imagine a week from today being a kilogram lighter, imagine that was real right now – it seems easier to do now. Right? Losing weight is all in your mind.
