I asked my Uncle, what would be the best way to loose weight? He replied, eat meat, run fast and think more, unfortunately he was a bit overweight himself, when he saw me looking at his belly. He said, “man needs fat around the waist, it shows he is from a rich family. Now get the hell out of here, before I loose my temper”. So I ran.
I spent most of my life searching for the best way to loose weight. When I was small I used to be overweight, I was the odd one out in the family. Even my mother used to say, “ they must have changed my child with some fatso’s child in the hospital”. Although I was overweight but still I used to love eating food all the time. I had the imagination that the food was the only thing, which gave me comfort, pleasure and self-satisfaction. Was that true or false? God knows.
My hunger was beyond my control, and my parents didn’t know what to do about my overeating problem. They tried different tricks but unfortunately nothing worked out and I kept on gaining more weight day after day.
Even though I was an overeater and also overweight and yet, I was obsessed with the idea of loosing weight. Sometimes I had a sudden compulsion to loose weight quickly and as a result I used to try out different dieting methods. I must confess that I had managed to loose some weight whenever I tried dieting techniques and methods available in the market. Unfortunately I could not keep up with any single one of them for a long period of time.
I found that most of them does make a difference so there was no problem with the dieting methods. This is because most of them are backed up by medical research. So if there was no problem with the dieting methods then it must be me, I used to question myself. I didn’t know the answer and also I didn’t know what to do as I was running out of excuses for being overweight in gatherings. My brother used to tell me “ why to waste your time, talent and energy on mission impossible. As always the option he used to give me was to go and join the Japanese Somo wrestling club, “probably you will have a great career there?”
At the end I finally realized that overeating is a behavioral problem, and I have to change my attitude towards food, which I did and it worked for me. If you buy a large pizza, you do not necessarily have to finish it in one go, but with obese people they are not satisfied until the job is finished.
So if you are overweight, you need to change to your thinking first then you can try any dieting method. What’s the point of going for formula one race, if you can’t even drive? Learn to drive first, and then you can even drive fast car or go for the formula one race. If you just question yourself before eating large portions, why should you eat that, is it necessary? And let your mind win on this instead of your heart, you would be able to see the difference in few days.
Emotions lead to irrational decision-making and are responsible for your action such as overeating. The dieting methods are good for loosing weight but they cannot normally change your mind and attitude towards food, which is the key for loosing weight. There are some good dieting methods and products available at the site found below.
If you want to loose weight you need to rise above the emotions and then you would be able to make decisions, which will help you to loose weight.

At Last, A Scientifically Proven And Amazing Way To Loose Weight
Americans spend an estimated $30 billion a year on various types of diet programs and products, including diet foods, pills and drinks. You don’t need to add your hard earned cash to these statistics.
If you have ever eaten junk food or processed food and then wished you hadn’t because you felt tired and heavy or bloated; If you’ve ever tried fad diets or yo-yo diets only to pile the weight back on; If you have tried diet recipes and its cost you a fortune to buy the ingredients and endless time to cook; If you ever feel down about being overweight or obese; If you ever get fed up of being preached to about all the things you shouldn’t do, you’re simply fighting the flab rather than eliminating it naturally.
Overweight people increase the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and many other illnesses. Meditation and losing weight reduces the risk.
Using meditation to lose weight is definitely worth your consideration. So many people from all walks of life enjoy amazing and long-term results. By releasing stress through meditation people find they no longer have the need to comfort eat. One of the most powerful mind and body techniques involve combining visualization with meditation for weight loss. It has been proven over and over again that what you are imagining in the present moment will be what life grants you in the future.
Very often the mental picture that we have of ourselves when we focus on dieting conflicts with the end result that we really desire. Our mind is often filled with doubts and negative thoughts. Using meditation and visualization will erase these doubts and allow you to watch the new you reappear. Focus on the result that you truly desire and always remember “As a man thinketh so is he.”
If you don’t understand much about meditation and visualization, don’t worry, I will explain further on how you can learn simply through a free guided meditation course.
It has been scientifically proven that people who practice meditation have shown marked improvements in their mental and physical health. Clinical studies reveal that meditation helps lower blood pressure and respiratory rates, reduces anxiety and cures insomnia. It is because of these results that more and more doctors are recognizing the therapeutic benefits of meditation and are suggesting that their patients learn meditation. Many people use meditation to lose weight or cure addictive behaviors like smoking, alcohol and others learn meditation to alleviate many stress related illnesses. Some learn meditation to find inner peace and happiness, while others want to be more in touch with their spiritual self.
When you combine meditation with visualization, imagine the new you. Feel how your new body feels and see how good you look. See your beautiful or handsome image as you walk down the beach towards the sea in a fabulous swimsuit or pair of shorts. Feel the wind in your hair and the cool breeze on your body. Feel the spring in your step and the song in your heart as you give thanks for your healthy life. Feel the happiness bubbling inside as you see your family watching you with love and pride. Breathe deeply and feel ecstatic as the sea air fills your healthy lungs and body. Experience the confidence, total bliss and inner peace that encompass your whole body.
“Scientists study it. Doctors recommend it. Millions of Americans - many of whom don't even own crystals - practice it every day. Why? Because meditation works…” Time Magazine

After Healthy Weight Loss: Loose Skin
I want to open by saying if you have loose skin after a healthy weight loss; it means you have lost a lot of weight. Congratulations are definitely in order! So, what to do about the loose skin?
The first word of advice is, don't fret about it too much.
I might not look extremely attractive to you. However, you need to realize that the first thing people are going to notice about you and focus on is the weight you have lost.
They probably won't even notice any loose skin, and if they do they are most probably going to view it as a sign of victory.
Your skin is constantly renewing itself with old cells dying off and new ones replacing them.
Over a period of time your skin will naturally contract to snugly fit the new slim and trim you.
If loose skin after healthy weight loss is really a serious self-image problem to you, then you could speak with your physician about cosmetic surgery. Although, this is not an approach that I would recommend because of the risks of scars and infections that go with any type of surgery.
A far more sensible approach would be to be patient. Allow your skin some time to adapt to your new body size.
While you wait for your skin to catch up, ensure that you give it the proper skin care treatment.
This involves keeping it properly cleansed and moisturized. The healthier your skin, the quicker it will adapt itself after your weight loss.
Apply moisturizers to your skin every morning and every evening to keep it supple and soft. That will help the new cells to grow. It's unfortunate that our skin does not adapt as quick as we sometimes want, but we just need to let nature do its work.
If you have loose skin after a healthy weight loss, be proud of what you've accomplished. You've done what many people try on a daily basis and just do not have the will power and determination to accomplish.
