Darn, no step 1, do this. Step 2, do this. Step 3, voila you are there?
Vanity reasons, got that. Do not like looking like a rectangle in clothing or a giant blue avocado in my old swimsuit. Pants are all too tight. Only t-shirts and one nice shirt fit. Yeah, deninitly got that part.
Health reasons, got that too. History of cancer, heart disease, diabetes and Parkinson's in my family. Two of them can be prevented with good nutrition and exercise. The other two if can't be prevented can make it easier to manage with good nutrition and exercise.
Writing down my goals and tunnel vision. Hmm, haven't done and don't have respectively. I think mostly I just blunder along both in trying to lose weight and in life. Goals, plans, tunnel vision. Wait, step 1, step 2, step 3 and voila!
Seriously, plan to do some thinking along these lines. What do I really want? Why do I want it? How will I get there?
