The Rev Theory

I encounter a vast majority of people in life who desire to lose weight.  When you ask most of them why, they respond, “because I’m too fat.”

I’ll be honest and completely real with you, that is the wrong reason to want to lose weight.

One good reason to lose weight is to be healthy and fit or to avoid future health problems, or to decrease present health problems.

Losing enough weight in a healthy fashion can reduce or completely take away diabetes.  It will help your heart and lungs and your entire circulation.  It will bring high blood pressure down and even lower heart rates.

Losing weight has many benefits including reversing sleep apnea and even just feeling good.

Perhaps the best reason to lose weigh, to honor God.

I’m a very direct person and let’s face it, diets do NOT work.  I mean, come on, the word “die” is already in there.  All diets fail and all diets produce little to no permanent weight loss and they also do not promote proper health.

Starving yourself is an awful idea as well and while you may lose weight initially, there are no real long term benefits to starving oneself and you can actually cause yourself to gain weight this way.

For the first time ever, someone, being me, is going to share with you keys to permanent weight loss and guess what?  You don’t have to join a group, you don’t have to pay any money, all you have to do is follow the simple steps I give you and you WILL lose weight.

One of the first keys to weight loss is patience.  That’s right!  You have to be willing to understand and accept that you did not put the weight on overnight and you will not lose it overnight.

You MUST be patient for the process to really work.

It will get frustrating, you will feel hungry, but it will also pass and you will lose the weight.

You have to start with a goal that is obtainable.  For example.  My long term personal weight loss goal is 86 pounds.  But if I go around saying that I need to lose 86 pounds it will never happen.

Too many people waste too much time trying to convince themselves they have to lose “X” amount of weight.  The key to taking it off and keeping it off is to do so one pound at a time for each journey begins with just the first step.

From there, the next step and the next.

So in the short term, my goal is to lose 3 pounds, which is a very attainable goal.

As I’ve said, you will feel hungry, but if you can make it through the first 10 days to two weeks of a lifestyle change, your stomach will begin to shrink and you will feel less hungry.

The key to it all is understanding and knowing that losing weight MUST be a lifestyle change.

We need to stop poor eating habits, we need to stop poor eating choices.

You can pay lots of money for Jenny Craig or for a gym membership you may use once or twice.  You can watch The Biggest Loser on NBC while stuff your face with ho hos and twinkies or you can make a positive, proactive choice to get healthy and stay healthy.

Stop calling yourself fat, stop the negativity.  Anyone can be negative and put themselves down, but it takes a person with real moral fiber to be positive and be willing to make a positive change.

Are you ready for a lifestyle change that will completely change your life and your health for the better?  If so, let’s begin.
