There is an easier and less painful way to peel off pounds. You can do it without consulting a rocket scientist too. You simply have to make a choice to be healthier and stick with it. You have to motivate yourself and commit to your goal.
Your mission is to be healthier and use common sense to achieve your results. Consult your doctor before you make any significant changes in your diet or exercise.
You may be hooked on licorice whips, chips, chocolate or some other guilty pleasure. Take some time to taste healthier versions of your favorite weight gainers. It is likely that you will discover substitutes that look and taste like your constant couch companions.
Stock up on dairy and salt substitutes. Your new treats may be free of sugars, carbohydrates, and other ingredients that might contribute to diabetes or pound padding

When the weather does not cooperate it is time to hike around the biggest mall you can find. Make sure you avoid escalators or elevators and smile your way up and down stairways instead. A terrific way to renew relationships is invite your friends for a walk around the park.
A terrific way to enjoy a healthier life with a friend or loved one is buying a cool tandem bicycle with a basket. You may find yourself encouraged by the smiles and interest a tandem bike garners.
If you are in the right area, a kayak or canoe can be a wonderful addition to your lifestyle. The idea is to find enjoyable pursuits that make you happy but just happen to be healthy. Swimming is a great outing and you feel lighter in water anyway.
The truth is that you need to lighten up your attitude, have some fun, and eat better versions of your favorite snacks and meals. It makes sense to row a boat, join a fun walk for a good cause, ride a bike, or take a dip in the lake. You will feel better physically but most people will talk about being in a better mood.
You will notice people you have not seen in awhile are noticing a change in you. Smile and invite them to go for a walk.
