Why wait to lose weight?
December 30, 2008
Just a short post to ask, why are you waiting? Today is the day. Why wait until Jan 1? Why hold yourself back from getting the body and health and strength that you deserve? The sooner, the better, the longer you wait the harder it will be to get what you want. Start now. You do not have to go all out especially if this will be your first time in a long time working out. Set some goals. Why do you want to lose the weight? Why do you NEED to lose weight? How often are you going to exercise? Day by day little by little.
Imagine..
Just imagine achieving all of those great things that life has to offer when you have better health.
Imagine being able to go up and down the stairs faster.
Imagine being able to carry more grocery bags in the house from the car and make less trips.
Imagine lifting up your baby or chasing your kids around the house without getting out of breath.
Imagine walking up a flight of stairs without losing your breath
Imagine breathing better
Imagine being better able to handle stress. No more racing heart, no more shaking, no more headaches..
Imaging chasing down the bus or cab with ease
Imagine no more high blood pressure
Imagine no more high cholesterol
Imagine surprising your doctors at your next visits
Much much more to get from working out…

I actually stopped waiting the moment my weight hit 123, which I know is not very high, but is the amount of weight that means my clothes no longer fit right. When my weight gets to that number, I know it’s time to talk business with my fitness plan and eating. For me it’s always the same: not so much wine at night, not so many desserts, and a bit more strength training. You’re right–whenever you get disgusted with any bad habit–whether it happens in Feb March Nov or Jan 1–is the time to take charge and break it.

You make very good points in this post. Waiting is just another form of procrastination.

Great Post!
Natasha you’ve shared some pretty amazing information here.
Everyone that wants to lose weight, needs to realize it’s not going to happen by itself. Going for the right foods and taking the right actions every day will benefit in the long run. Goals/Mini-victories will help keep the motivation for success and the forward drive!
