subject: Effective Weight Loss: Thin People Don't Need Quick Fixes, So Why Do You? [print this page] In today's world, everything is instant - instant food, instant service, you name it. While this can be good at times, it's trained us to be impatient with the things in our lives that do not respond to instant measures. Effective weight loss is one of them. The body is a complicated machine, and to be able to whip it into shape takes time and effort. There are no quick fixes and no instant weight loss cures, no matter how badly you desire them.
There are a lot of unhappy people who've spent a good chunk of their hard earned money on weight loss pills and other products that promise almost instantaneous results and with little to no effort. The expectation that losing weight can be achieved without any work is exactly why these products fail every time. Gaining weight takes effort. Eating a lot of food is a bonafide activity. And even sitting around watching TV is not simply "doing nothing" as most people would describe it. It's an act - the act of sitting around watching television. Therefore, if it took work to gain weight, it then takes work to lose it.
It's important to recognize that with hard work comes many, many rewards. This is how you achieve effective weight loss. If you don't want to put in the time and the effort, then you have no choice but to settle with the weight you already have now, or worse, settle with continuing to gain weight and become more and more unhealthy as the days go by.
You've got to change your mindset to accept a long-term effort. The old saying, "slow and steady wins the race" is well fitted to weight loss. Look at thin people and you see that they do things reliably each and every day that help them be thin. It's a day to day effort. They aren't undertaking extreme measures or quick fixes to stay thin, so why would you believe that you need these things to become thin? To gain a healthy body and maintain it, you must commit to a healthy lifestyle - something you'll need to do for the rest of your life. When you pretend you're already thin and that you're simply living a life that maintains that ideal bodyweight, it becomes easier to make healthy living a lifestyle and to not be tempted by ineffective quick fixes that are only successful at emptying your wallet.
