Three Reasons Why You Fail to Lose Weight Fast
I believe rapid fat loss, and permanent fat loss, is easily accomplished when people have the correct plan in place.
I believe there are three key reasons why people fail to lose weight fast and keep it off. Rapid fat loss is easily achieved once dieters understand these three keys.
The following are my top three reasons why people fail to lose weight fast and keep the unwanted pounds and inches off:
Lack of support:
All the latest research has shown how critical it is for dieters to have a support system in place. When times get tough, and they will, people need to have a community of positive people to turn to that will help them achieve their rapid fat loss goals.
People who seek social support may be 42% more likely to lose weight compared to those who do not seek social support. Remember the mindset you are creating … social support is a significant part of your new mindset. Surround yourself with positive people who will be there to help keep you on track.
Where should your social support come from? You shouldn’t always assume that your family members are the best support. Sometimes they are the worst choices! Anyone who has a negative attitude concerning your body weight should not have a role in your social support. Friends or colleagues who also want to lose weight may be good allies because you can work together to keep each other on track.
For starters your social support is the forum and your fellow participants. Of course I always recommend finding your social support in family members or friends as well.
No emphasis on lifestyle changes:
A very big reason people fail to maintain their rapid fat loss for a lifetime is a complete failure to focus on lifestyle changes. Temporary fixes and fad diets need to be replaced by healthy habits and a new self-image. I believe people put too much emphasis on the “lose weight fast” and not enough on the lifestyle changes necessary to keep the pounds from ever coming back.
Lifestyle changes means consuming whole foods that are high in fiber and low in sugar, such as lean protein (lean beef, chicken, fish, whey protein), fruits and vegetables (oranges, apples, strawberries, blueberries, broccoli, peppers, asparagus, carrots), nuts (almonds, cashews, walnuts), and whole grains.
It also means eating low-glycemic carbohydrates, such as vegetables, wholegrain products and oatmeal instead of refined, processed carbohydrates. Refined, process carbs usually come in a box or a bag. Try to eat starches that contains a minimum of 3 grams of fiber per serving.
Paralysis by analysis:
Too often dieters wait for the perfect time or want to have the perfect plan in place before trying to Lose weight fast and keep it off. The plan only needs be good enough to get started. It is mandatory to create a weight loss plan, but not at the expense of never getting started with rapid fat loss. Create a plan centered around a support community and lifestyle changes and adjust the plan as necessary.

The Wilted Rose
“You fat pig, you better not disappoint me today!” Feeling dizzy and lightheaded Emily-rose reluctantly made her way to the bathroom. Pale boney fingers struggled to turn the doorknob, the old wooden door creaked open to a large mirror revealing a monster; Skeletal like features, sunken cheekbones which lost their colour many years ago, her hair hung limp and dry like a stack of hay, her lips chapped beyond repair and circles so dark around her eyes you would think she never went to sleep. Hardly recognizing her reflection she looked down and stood there one on one facing her greatest fear, the enemy, wondering what her fate will be today.
“Come on, what are you waiting for, huh? Get your huge ass of yours on that scale” With much effort she moved her brittle legs and stepped onto the scale, terror pulsed through her body, not wanting to face the evil numbers that will haunt her. “Uh, no it cannot be…” Emily-rose had hardly the energy to speak just above a whisper.
“I knew it! I knew you would fail me! Nothing but a failure you are… and will ever be.” The number 41.3 stared at her flashing in red. She felt like she was going to be sick. The disappointment overwhelmed Emily. She had to hold onto the towel rack keep her balance. “What am I to do now?” She was too hungry to fast, too fat to eat and too exhausted to exercise. “I knew this would happen, now you come crying back to me? I told you that water cracker would be a mistake.” One point three. One point three. Emily could not help but replay those numbers over and over again in her head. She had put on weight.
Hands trembling violently as she attempted to tie the shoelaces of her joggers, the vertigo making it a struggle. “A two hour run should teach you!” Emily felt weak and nauseous but she did not have a choice in this.
Jogging feeling very dazed she realized that she was sweating unnecessary since it was only 16 degrease outside and her heart pounding a mile a minute. Out of breath and feeling very faint her world turned upside down. Her vision gave way, something was very wrong. She tried to blink. Emily’s site giving her the illusion that she was looking through a tunnel. Wonder what will be waiting at the other end? No. This can’t be happening.
“I told you this would happen didn’t I? You didn’t listen to me. You never listen to me you selfish cow. And now you will pay!”
She could not stand it anymore and will not stand it anymore. “Shut up!” Emily cried. “Shut the fricki’n hell up, just go away! Leave m the hell lone” Slowly she opened her eyes, everything a blur. She was not familiar with her surroundings. Where am I? She can just make out familiar two faces. Her mum and sister. They live on the other side of the country. What are they doing here? Finally Emily realizes that she is in a hospital bed. The strong smell of antiseptic stung her nostrils and the feel of her rough nightgown against her bones sent a tingling sensation down her spine for some odd reason. The thin bed spread hardly enough to keep her insulated, she started to shiver.
I don’t like it. Then again I am very hard to please.

I loved it a lot and trust me I’ve seen the good and the ugly in writing and your definatly on the good side, but one little thing in the first couple of words that the main character said were kinda slow, or how should i put a little too old fashioned, (unless that is how the character is like) because first she said "no it cannot be" (ladylike) then to loud and proud (unladylike) "Shut the friggn hell up,"
That kinda bothered me but other than that very very good. 8.9 out of 10
