- Hint, They Have Nothing to Do With a Bikini Candis
Edmonds, author of this lose weight article.
What are the typical goals of of
people who want to losw weight? Ask many people this question and you will
hear things like "upcoming wedding invitation" or "bikini season is here".
Check back with them in about in about a month and see how they are doing with
their weight loss efforts. Usually, they will have fallen off the rails and
quit, opting to either skip the wedding invitation, reunion dinner or other
events and either wearing a sensible, black one-piece or never going to the
beach again clothes.

Now you see, using a singular event as a
motivation motivation for losing weight is never going to work for long term,
healthy weight loss especially when you look at how unmotivated you have been
up to this point. The goals of weight loss actually have to go a little deeper
and they must be a little more meaningful. And no, I do not mean that you
should be trying to make your old high school rivals green with envy.
Weight Loss Goals
Goal
#1 - Better Health
When you think of your excess
weight in terms of your general health and well being, it should scare you to
death if you are overweight. Are you aware that your excess weight could be
killing off your heart, choking out your brain cells and smothering your
lungs? Do you realize how hard your pancreas must work to continually pump out
insulin to your body because you are flooding it with high glycemic foods?
And, have you ever stopped to think that your creaking, cracking and aching
bones and joints would probably creak, crack and ache a lot less if they did
not have so much to carry?
Losing
weight to gain better health should be your first priority, goal one. Think
about it this way, you would lose weight to look good for people you see once
a year at most, but you do not want to lose weight so that you can feel good
around the people you see every day? Does that make sense? Obviously not isn't
it? So start
losing weight now!
Goal #2 - Better Mental Health
How many times have you stood in
front of the mirror and ready to burst into tears? Is it more than a couple
times? Or, you how many times have you gone to the shopping mall and tried on
clothing only to come home feeling more miserable than you thought possible
because you are nowhere near your ideal size?
Depression is a real disease that can be
exacerbated by excess weight and one that can be brought on by it as well.
Simply put, you can become depressed if you are overweight or if you already
depressed, being overweight can make you feel even worse. Click

Goal #3 - Better Sexual Health You do
not have to be thin to enjoy sex, however if you are feeling self-conscious
about your body, then you may not relax enough to enjoy intimacy. You are not
going to lose all of your weight in a matter of a few days and you cannot deny
yourself or your loved one the pleasure of skin contact.
Relearning to enjoy each other’s company can
be a very big ego boost, and can help you reinforce the goals of one and two.
And think of this: Sex counts as exercise too.
