That's just it - the trick was figuring out that weight loss was like everything else worth doing - no tricks or short cuts. Just less fuel in than fuel expended. Probably not what the dieting gurus want people to learn. Isn't that the truth! As I lost and continue to maintain I am asked all the time what my "secret" is. Well, I watch what I eat every day. I exercise every day. Calories in balance with calories out. Period. They don't like to hear that because many people are lazy. They want the quick fix. Can't say as I blame them. I sure wanted a quick fix for years. What a bummer to find out that there wasn't one. One day when I was running a marathon (like I run one every day) a sort of "motto" popped into my head as I was thinking about who I am now compared to who I was then. 100 pounds lost, 1000 blessings gained. I might put that on a shirt... |
