1 Set achievable goals. Once you have made the decision to lose weight, set some realistic and achievable goals that you can follow. Goal setting will help you to take action, and by taking that action you will start to see some weight loss results.

Don't get discouraged if you don't see an immediate change. Healthy, natural weight-loss that won't come back takes time, because it is about making new, healthier, habits.

This is a loaded question, because people do not fail--they quit. A bridge or a piece of equipment might fail, but it does not quit. It has ceased to do that for which it was created. Many try something and when it does not work for them as planned they simply throw up their hands in despair and quit. What they did not realize is that they simply found a way that did not work, and by continuing on they could have found a way that did work.

It is inherent in human nature to always be doing something. We cannot stand a second or minute of the day not being filled with some type of activity. Even in those times where there is no physical activity, you will find your mind working like a straw caught in a tornado.

Are You a Record Keeper?

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).

Were either of your parents record keepers? You know, every time they argued, the record keeper started recounting in detail the sins of the past. Odds are they kept a record of your less-than-perfect behavior as well.
