weight loss and tips

Weight loss - today I weighed 82.4kg  which is up a little on two weeks ago but a lot better than 83.7kg I was last week after holidaying in tropical Queensland and eating whatever I liked.  (see Diary of a Food Addict tab for more confessions)

Weight loss tip 1 - don't think of weight loss as going on a diet, instead think of it as eating in a healthy and sustainable way and to exercise to feel energised.  Something that you will want to do for the rest of your life despite the occasional blip.

Weight loss tip 2 - start off slow and gradually increase the amount of exercise you do as you lose weight.  It takes a while for your body to get use to a new way of eating and exercising.  Give yourself time - lots of it.  Just by eating a bit better and exercising a bit more you  have achieved a lot.

Weight loss tip 3 - Don't expect your weight loss to be smooth.  There are a whole lot of factors that affect your weight besides eating and exercise.  For example fluid retention can make a big difference.  Your weight will oscilliate even when you have been very very good.  Try upping the ante with a bit more activity.
