Why Cant I Lose Weight Right Now

Boy, do we ever live in a ‘I want it all, and I want it now’ society. This attitude permeates every aspect of our daily lives, and weight loss is one of the most prevalent. If you’ve tried to lose weight and you’re asking the question: ‘why can’t I lose weight?’, the answer might just be you can, you just have to give it time.

No matter how much people don’t want to hear it, the fact of the matter is that weight loss is easy, all you have to do is eat fewer calories than you burn, and get more exercise. It’s a two pronged approach, combine a sensible eating plan, one that you can stick with for the rest of your life and that will provide your body with all the nutrients it needs, and get exercise. That’s it. It’s not sexy, but it’s the truth. If you follow this advice you’ll be the one who’s sexy!

If you are implementing a healthy, reasonable diet where you are providing your body with high quality fuel throughout the day and exercising strenuously, on a regular basis you will lose weight, period.

While not impossible, things like hormonal imbalances and extremely low metabolisms simply don’t occur that often. Many people will try to use these things as an excuse, and if you’ve actually been diagnosed with this type of condition, you will need the assistance of a doctor and probably a dietitian in order to lose weight, but it’s just not that common of a problem.

The first thing you will need to do in order to lose weight is be honest with yourself. If you are going to make excuses as to why you can’t work out, or why you can’t eat right, etc, you will never lose weight.

I’m sorry if that’s blunt, but it’s the truth. Losing weight takes a commitment, not excuses. It’s not that easy and it will take time and there will be times when you feel like giving up, but if you stick with your diet and exercise plan, follow it through and don’t allow yourself to give up, you will love the way you look every time you pass a mirror. Isn’t that worth a little bit of effort?

If you can just stick it out long enough to start seeing some results you will be much more likely to stick with it for the long haul. For many people the hardest part comes at the very beginning. This is the point when you are trying to re-learn bad eating habits and initiating a workout plan. You are probably tired, sore, and maybe even a little hungry.

But if you stick it out until you see a little bit of headway you’ll have a real shot, finally, of being at the ideal weight for you and looking great. You’ll never have to ask the question: ‘why can’t I lose weight?’ Instead you’ll be saying: ‘ Look at my new bikini!’
