- Don't Dress Like a Big Fat Loser
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] If you are fat, you should not be screaming it out to the wide world with ill-fitting, badly shaped clothing.

If you buy and wear big fat loser style clothes, you are going to be angry and cranky and frown and stomp a lot and you'll be reaching for those comforting king sized Mars Bars before you realise it.

- Why Protein Bars Are Better Than Chocolate
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] If you are serious about weight control and diet, chocolate can no longer be your cosy fireside best mate. Chocolate is going to have to become either a distant friend whose company you enjoy rarely or a nodding acquaintance who has no real place in your life. Protein bars may seem like a poor substitute for chocolate at first bite, but be assured, you will get used to the taste and learn to appreciate the flavour.
- Don't Forget to Remember What You Eat
[Health-and-Fitness:Nutrition] Calorie amnesia is a condition affecting many would be successful dieters. However, you can't keep deluding yourself if you truly want a change of size, shape and fitness level. If you don't measure what you consume both in type and portion, you will never succeed in a permanent weight loss venture. Losing weight and keeping it off is way too important for you to be fluffing about with fuzzy maths.
- 6 Weeks to a Flat Stomach
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] If you want a flat stomach in just 6 weeks, your best bet for instant results is to book yourself in for surgery and get yourself liposucked. But that's not going to work for long because surgery does not require you to change your eating habits or (lack of) exercise regime. Losing stomach fat is easy. It will not happen in 6 weeks, but if you take my advice, it will happen.
- Dare to Love Your Weight Control Diet
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] Tell yourself often that you enjoy your healthy diet. Tell yourself often that you are looking forward to your daily walk. Keep thinking positive thoughts and rejoice in the benefits you are seeing and feeling from good diet and daily exercise. Believe what you tell yourself. Change how you think and the rest will fall into line.
- Conquer Your Food Cravings
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] Cravings can be overcome. They are not overwhelming and should be treated by you as a mild irritation not as an irresistible signal to drop everything and eat. If you really want to lose weight and get fit, you have to look your cravings in the eye, recognise them for what they are and walk away from them.

- Fight Your Fat Genes - Deny Your Family Destiny
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] Blaming your genes is a handy excuse if your whole family is fat, but it really will not get you trim and fit and feeling good about yourself to throw your plump little fists in the air and exclaim to the world that it's all Auntie Maud's fault that you have a huge bum.

- Fast Or Slow Weight Loss?
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] Fast weight loss can work - if you have only a few kilos to lose and normally are not overweight.

- Out of Step With Your Walking Partner?
[Health-and-Fitness:Exercise] If your walking partner is of a different height to you, it stands to reason that their stride length will be different. You don't even have to be that unevenly matched for height. So even if you start out walking at the same speed, the longer stride length will carry the taller person further. It may not sound like a big deal, but it can develop into a niggling problem that can damage your joint exercise program.
- Good Brain, Evil Brain - How Self Talk Can Affect Your Diet and Exercise Program
[Self-Improvement:Positive-Attitude] Many of us know about the old right brain/left brain theory of different parts of your brain being responsible for learning patterns.

Maybe this theory is old hat now; in Australia we take awhile to accept theories from the big, bad world, but after about 30 short years, we claim them as our original ideas and cling on to them for dear life.

- 5 Top Tips For Weight Control in Children

The bottom line is that by controlling the weight of your children through proper diet and suitable exercise, you are giving them the gift of a healthy lifestyle. As a parent, you can't do better than that!
- The Best Way to Get Lean
[Health-and-Fitness:Exercise] The best exercise you can do to get lean is walking. Even if you intend "one day" to start at the gym or pool or tennis court, you need long, brisk walks to get lean and fit. No training, no opening times, no expensive equipment, no excuses. Get out there and keep putting on foot resolutely (and cheerfully) in front of the other. After 6 weeks, you wobble a lot less, after 3 months, you feel toned and fit and after 6 months, you have formed an excellent fitness habit.
