Now all your extra weight will melt effortlessly. Yeah right ! A simple list of 5 items is not going to do it, so let me explain the intricacies of the 5 items and where the hang up normally occurs when applied to losing weight.

1 . Know What You WantThis one is dead simple . Most people who want to lose weight have an idea of ​​how many books they would like to lose or how they would like their body to look .I think we can safely say if your body started looking the way you want , you know, even if you are not completely mapped and detailed.

 2 . Know where you areThis is the big trip up. It is almost always overlooked and is the number one reason for the high and low Yo Yo effect we experience with losing weight. We are unhappy with how our body feels and how it looks and it is painful to zoom in and get an accurate picture of where we are. Unfortunately, we must know where we are, to be able to accurately assess the results we get.

 You are on a trip to San Diego , California. You want to start your trip to Phoenix , Arizona, but you do not really know where you are . No problem. You get an Arizona / California map and find that a single 6-hour journey west on Interstate 8 to get to San Diego.

 6 hours later , you have no idea where you are and it 's definitely not warm San Diego. You feel defeated and you want to give up! You blame the car? Stupid cards? San Diego ? Yourself?Now, if I told you , you were in New Your City , not Phoenix , Arizona. 6 hour car ride west of New York will never get to San Diego.

If you took the time to find exactly where you were , you could choose the appropriate means to get to San Diego and have an expectation of how long it would take .It's the same with weight loss and our personal physical condition. In our minds , we think we are starting in a different physical state, then we really are. When the results do not follow the illusion in your mind, we are overwhelmed .

 So , why do we resist accountability , your secret weapon to lose weight ? Because it works ! If you know someone is watching TV , you can follow through or at least feel very uncomfortable not following through.Responsibility when used wisely is the ultimate turbo booster to your weight loss . Since you will be responsible anyway, you might as well get something out of it.Using accountability up front, you can get the body of your dreams. If you let your body hold you accountable , it will shed fat in places you do not want it.

 The biggest obstacle to weight loss takes no action. It does not matter how the system is , it is useless if you do not follow . So what do I do now?
