"Determination". The single most valuable resource that you need to lose weight.

Determination, Determination, Determination.

This is the word that you need to keep at the back of your mind whenever you are at a party with very nice food, at a restaurant, or when a friend offers you a drink or your favorite chocolate bar or simply on weekends watching a nice movie and feel the urge to grab some pop corn and a soda can. Determination is by far, the single most important factor that will get you to your desired weight level and keep you there.

You probably have tried to lose weight earlier as well but given up on it. You must also be wondering how on earth people claim to have shed X number of pounds while you cannot remain on a diet for more than 2 days. You must also have thought that people are born with the gift of a slim physique despite eating whatever they feel like, while you gain weight even if you smell food. I also have had the same thoughts. I had tried to lose weight a couple of times earlier, but gave it up as I could not muster enough determination to remain on the track. It is however, determination alone that will enable you to endure the 2 months of dieting and will make you proud of yourself everyday for the rest of your life.

So buckle up and tell yourself that you are going to do it. You are going to lose the extra weight, keep it at that level and you are going to feel very good about yourself.
