Did you hear about Jared?

It seems the Subway guy Jared has gained a little weight. This apparently is news worthy since I heard it on the radio the other day and the deejay said Jared looks like he has been stopping in Burger King instead of Subway. Okay this guy has had his weight off like 10 years. Nonetheless, it's the nature of the world we live in when people crave failure. Keeping weight off is more difficult than losing it. Stay focused and make a plan. If you are just beginning to lose weight or if you have reached your goal with your weight loss what is your next step? I tell people all the time you must make the lifestyle change you cannot go back to your old eating habits or sedentary lifestyle and not expect to gain weight. There is good news though. Once you really change your lifestyle for the better you get used to it and you enjoy it. It's no longer a chore. When you are craving something bad to eat sure indulge a little so you don't feel deprived but don't give in to that temptation every time because you may have cravings several times a day and giving in each time will surely show on the scale. Try to focus on something else, drink some tea or water and praise yourself for your hard work if it's day 1 or day 100!!
