GET FIT, LOSE FAT: Lose Weight and Keep It Off!

There are a lot of books that have been written on how to lose weight and stay fit.  For some of you these have worked wonders, especially if you are consistent in going back and reading these books and maintaining their ideas and strategies.

 

But, for others, reading weight loss and fitness books soon gets forgotten. The books find their way onto the bookshelves as obesity returns and discouragement sets in. Fitness goes out the window and the old mentality clouds the mind, creating a vicious cycle of defensive resistance and stuck thinking. It's time to get out of the rut!

 

One important question: Do you want to lose your unwanted fat and get down and stay fit at your ideal weight?

 

One of the biggest problems that I see with people who have problems with diet and exercise is that they are afraid of trying all over again and then fail at being able to permanently keep the fat off while staying fit.

 

I can tell you that I've been there and back. I have been fat and I have been fit. After years of frustration, I felt it's time to get off the roller coaster and the yo-yo syndrome ... permanently!

 

I'm not going to kid you or feed you a lot of BS. I talk from experience. Back in the early 70s I wrote my Ph.D. dissertation entitled the "Psychology of Obesity". I had to defend it in front of a room full of students and a table full of fat university presidents and professors.

 

Some of the professors on the.dissertation panel felt a little bit threatened. I don't blame them.  Fear and shame can keep you locked into obesity  But I'll go into that later. I weighed 180 pounds of romp stompin handsome male muscle and I was in my mid-30s.

 

But previously, I had gone up to 215 pounds and I thought it was time to get back on track and get back in shape. I became the experiment and I succeeded. With that, I published a great dissertation. But, that was just the beginning...
