Expecting Weight Loss Miracles?
Recipe of the Week:
Pork and Saffron pasta
Hi!
I've been having fun and games with technology this week while Simply Slimming was being moved onto a new server. The site is up and running OK but there are a few last minute bits and pieces I'm hoping to iron out over the weekend - we'll see!
When thing go wrong, what do you reach for? With me, it's chocolate.
As a weight loss coach people sometimes think I am immune to overeating and junk food but I can overeat quite as much as anyone - so I understand the attraction - I just don't get into the habit of it.
Eating chocolate at a particularly low point really doesn't matter except when you start describing every day as crisis or disaster so that you can eat more of it!
Have a calm and happy weekend
Love

Feature Article : Expecting Weight Loss Miracles?
When you decide to lose weight do you always expect yourself to perform miracles with a complete change in diet and level of activity overnight (and then get sorely disappointed when you don't make it)?
It's almost impossible for normal human beings to undergo a complete change of lifestyle overnight. It's just not sustainable for most of us.
On the other hand losing weight just doesn't happen at the drop of a hat. It takes some input from you. If you think you can lose weight by
then you are bound to be disappointed. There are no easy short-cuts despite the glut of messages from the marketing world pushing the latest diet product or best-seller. If you think any pill, patch or potion you buy from the latest miracle ad pushed through your letter box is going to make a difference without changing your habits then you are wasting your money on empty dreams.
It's not easy to change, certainly not as easy as believing the shiny ad on the latest miracle that comes with the post, designed to make you think you can lose 4lbs a day without trying and all "scientifically proven" and "guaranteed". But it's something you have to do for the sake of your shape and health. Your habits are what got you where you are today so losing weight means changing them!
So how do you go about losing weight?
It's a question of balance between doing too much and doing too little. It means consistently moving towards healthier habits step by step. Don't try to change everything at once and set yourself up for failure but DO make some changes and get used to them and then move on to make more.
And even if you don't quite want to give up pursuing those miracle products or the latest diets, then do yourself a big favour and make some healthy changes anyway even if you just take one small step in the right direction at a time. At least you'll be making some progress!

It's almost impossible for normal human beings to undergo a complete change of lifestyle overnight. It's just not sustainable for most of us.
On the other hand losing weight just doesn't happen at the drop of a hat. It takes some input from you. If you think you can lose weight by
- starving one day and making up for it the next (in triplicate)
- continuing to eat fried, fatty foods every day
- guzzling milk shakes, sugary soda, beer or wine
- sitting about all day and driving everywhere in your car
- changing very little in your eating habits
then you are bound to be disappointed. There are no easy short-cuts despite the glut of messages from the marketing world pushing the latest diet product or best-seller. If you think any pill, patch or potion you buy from the latest miracle ad pushed through your letter box is going to make a difference without changing your habits then you are wasting your money on empty dreams.
