WHY IS IT SO HARD TO LOSE WEIGHT?

Hi there!

Today I'd like to be talking about my recent concerns on dieting and losing weight. I've been putting on weight since last year October... I can't seem to shed the weight no matter how hard I try... So I've been doing some readings on losing weight and dieting... I've been starving myself quite a bit and until I reach my ideal weight of 42-45kg and looking slim and pretty in my clothes, I'd be trying and fighting!

Here are some points you might want to take note on losing weight:

• Exercise is hard
• Cost of your food is high
• Fasting can save money
• Eat more low-calorie food that will fill you up at every meal
• Changing your diet can lose belly fat
• If you approach weight loss with a short-term attitude, you may not make it anywhere except on the yo-yo diet train
• May suffer a rebound without a long term approach
• Well-balanced diet
• Fad diets, excessive exercise and detoxes don't usually work
• Losing weight requires dedication to a plan that supports long-term healthy habits
• Supportive friends, family members and significant others are critical to successful weight loss
• It's difficult to lose weight from exercise alone
• The exact number of calories you burn during exercise  depends on many factors - including your current weight, the intensity of the activity, the length of the workout, your age and your body composition
• A diet rich in fruit, vegetables, healthy fats, lean proteins and some whole grains will serve you best in terms of sustainable weight loss and health
• Combined with consistent exercise routine, you'll experience sustained weight loss and weight maintenance once you reach your goal weight
• Losing weight will be harder if you're chronically stressed, sleep-deprived or overworked
• Nutrition and exercise are only two components of a healthy life that can lead to weight loss
• While important, too strong of a focus on nutrition and exercise can cause you to overlook other factors that are just as important
• While certain supplements may help you reach your weight loss goals, you have to work to make your supplements work
• You must have the willpower
