How do you motivate yourself to do something you don't want to do?

[Bob Denman]

Okay, I'm going to quit going to my dr. for check ups, and I'm going to start eating only grass (not that kind though).

:agree: The caloric content of those brownies is probably going to be "high"... :roflblack:

 

[bmccaffrey]

I agree.

Need to find something you enjoy doing to keep your interest,

Dr. say you have to lose or your choice.

Intake vs out take.Got to burn more on out take side then intake.

Always remember skinny is not necessarily healthier
You'll know when you feel healthy.

Scale everyday :lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie:
Will discourage

Life is choices. Most of us become overweight as we grow older because our daily movement and activity does not match that of our youth. I try to keep moving all day and cut my portions of what I eat in two. My Dr. told me to not eat more food than the size of my fist at a meal. It is not so much what you eat but how much you eat. Diets never worked for me but this is much easier. I have kept about 35# off for several years now trying to practice that. I could still stand to lose another 20# and will continue.

Losing weight really is quite simple. Calorie intake vs calories burned. You must cut down calories and move a lot more. Sounds easy does it not? The practice is much harder than the philosophy. I am a diabetic due to my increase in weight along with high blood pressure and knee replacement. So yes I have been there and done that.

Life is very precious, please do not waste yours.

All calories are equal based on a formula. However, different foods with the same calorie level effect your body differently, regarding weight control. In other words, if a chart shows that to maintain your weight the calorie intake should be 2000/day, that doesn't mean you can eat 2000 calories of anything and maintain your weight.

How does the glycemic index affect the choices that should be made? Is that just for managing blood glucose levels, or can your weight also be affected by it?

Well, I do not mean specifically how to lose weight. I want to know how people get themselves motivated to do something they don't want to do.

It's simple

When you are truly ready, you will find the strength within yourself and do what is necessary. Not a moment before. This is experience talking.
