I can guarantee that this post will be my highest ranking post since I set up the site in July.
That’s because SO MANY people are overweight and are at the end of their tether with it and that’s because SO MANY people have tried to lose weight SO MANY times and failed AND that’s because they have been sucked in to SO MANY ridiculous ‘lose weight fast’ theories and they’re all BOLLOCKS!! Well actually, people can and do lose weight quickly but 99% of the time  it re-appears twice as quick and twice as much sending them back to square one with twice the problem. A totally soul destroying feeling.

Now, take a breath. I’m going to hit you with the truth straight up so you can get on with the rest of your life ‘without delusion’. 

It takes time to lose weight permanently.

There, you’ve read it and as soon as you accept it you’re half way there, perhaps even three quarters of the way there. Seriously.

This is one area I specialise in and I specialise in it because I have lived it – both ways. I was on the high stress lose weight fast roller coaster for about 20 years then I got smart and got off. I then got on the low stress long term weight loss train and I choofed along over a reasonable period and lost over 20 kilos. Yee-haa!

So what about you? Do you want/need to lose weight?
If yes, you must start by choosing whether you’re going to get on the ‘fast and furious roller coaster’ or the ’steady and smooth choo-choo train’.
It’s a crucial decision.  

Please, I’d love to hear your stories and thoughts on this. You may just help someone else make the right decision.
