You Can Be a Weight-Loss Expert :

Here's a difficult spot many women find themselves in. Is this where you are?

You’re overweight, and you don’t like it. It’s really making you unhappy. How in the world did this happen? It’s almost as though it happened without your permission. It just seemed to creep up on you when you weren’t looking. You know, one or two extra cookies here or there, maybe more sometimes. But that isn’t nearly enough to pack on all those pounds. It remains a mystery.

Have you been too sedentary? No, you’ve actually been exercising. You’ve been taking walks or going to the gym or going to yoga classes or using your treadmill. So just where did this weight come from? Are you destined to be overweight forever? What kind of cruel trick is fate playing on you?

So you go on a diet and it’s great for a while, but your willpower doesn’t last. You start out with a bang and you lose some weight, but then just as fast you gain it back. You’ve begun to think you just can’t do it. You don’t have what it takes. You feel like a failure. The truth is you can control everything in your life but this. Is there something basically wrong with you? How come you can’t do it? Are you just a weak, incapable person?No, you’re not weak or incapable. In fact, you’re probably an expert. The problem is that you’re an expert in the wrong thing. You’ve been spending a lot of time and energy learning how to master the art of overeating and gaining weight. It took you time and effort to get there, and now you’ve arrived.
