About you Next: About meUp: Introduction Previous: About this book This book is written for successful, intelligent, and motivated people who happen to be overweight. Whether you've always been overweight, have been on a roller coaster of dieting and regaining, or have just recently added some excess poundage, the key resources you need to achieve and maintain whatever weight and health goals you set for yourself are the same as you need to accomplish anything else worthwhile in life: An eye firmly fixed on the goal. I don't mean this to be facetious; vaulting any of life's hurdles, whether success in school, business, sports, the arts, or personal relationships requires the will and the willingness to do what's necessary, recognising that the achievement will more than repay the investment of time and energy you make. This is the very key to success in anything--to be able to defer immediate gratification in pursuit of a more permanent and worthwhile future goal.

Overcoming Weight Loss So I’m wearing my Exercise Scientist hat today, and my Psychologist cardigan, and my steel-capped, ass-kicking boots. I will be blunt, but honest, and possibly politically incorrect. I will also possibly say what you don’t want to hear. Feel free to look away – now. Hmm, still here huh?Thrill-seeker.Crazy kid. Even though I’ve spoken way too much, for way too many years about getting in shape (in the course of my work) and I’m kinda over it, recent events have compelled me to write this post. Permanent weight loss – there’s a concept! Conventional Thinking Conventional thinking tells us that losing weight is essentially a physiological process; lift this, run there, stretch that, get your heart rate up, increase your incidental activity, decrease your calorie intake, no carbs after three (‘cause that’s gonna do it) and increase your overall energy expenditure.
