Weight Loss News November 21st, 2008

Those with eating disorders at higher risk for substance abuse

Earlier this year we saw a flurry of news reports about an increasing trend among college women to skip meals and save calories so they can drink alcohol without worrying about gaining weight.

Alarm bells went off and many parents began questioning their daughters about this dangerous combination of binge drinking and self-starvation. Whether to classify this behavior as an eating disorder remains up for debate. What is certain, however, is that eating disorders and substance abuse are often linked.

Consider these statistics from a groundbreaking study released in 2003 by The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University:

• Individuals with eating disorders are up to five times more likely to abuse alcohol or illicit drugs.

Water Make you Lose Weight

Many people need to lose some weight, that’s a fact. Look around where people gather, you’ll notice the fat. Don’t laugh. Unfortunately you’re likely to see it in the mirror too. If you’ve made fast weight loss your goal, keep a few simple things in mind to lose the pounds quickly and safely.

When people want to lose weight one of the most common things they do is to skip meals. Hey, if eating fewer calories is the goal then why not skip breakfast or lunch. Doesn’t weight loss come with eating less calories? That’s correct but skipping meals isn’t the right way to reduce calories. Your body thinks it’s being starved when you skip meals. It goes into “starvation” mode. It starts to retain fat to counteract what it perceives as being starved. Another problem with skipping meals is that when you finally eat you’ll be a lot more hungry. This could lead to binge eating. Skipping meals is the worst of both worlds that results in gaining even more weight. Don’t do it.

Well, I am at home from work today. I had to take time off because my son woke up sick with a fever and diarrhea plus post allergies systems too. Yuck. This boy is explosive today, that’s all I can say. But I will be mommy and make sure he get better. While at home I managed to take him to the grocery store and did all of my shopping and thanksgiving shopping too, so I am happy about that!! I should only have to go to the store and get produce and that’s it!! I Hate waiting to the last minute to do my thanksgiving shopping. Why? Well everyone is shopping for once and then the store seems to be out of stock of the essentials I need to prepare my meal.

I have to say this week has been challenging, but I am proud of my self for committing to 4 day of cardio and weight training for this week. I also watched my calories, and drink 64 oz of water each day thus far. It takes a lot to get the mind ready to reach the weight loss goal in mind, but when I am ready there is not stopping me. So, I am excited. I hope on the scale and I am already seeing good numbers, but I will reserve that until I weigh in on Monday.

My goal for the rest of the week is to keep my calorie intake steady, so that I don’t slip up and gain over the weekend. I will accomplish this by planning my meals daily.

Today’s Menu:

1. Breakfast: protein bar and banana: 250
2. Lunch: Weight watchers lemon chicken w/ rice 230+ salad: 280
3. Snack: Yogurt 160+ blackberries: 200
4. Dinner: Chicken Breast, green beans, salad: 275
5. Dessert: Weight watcher ice cream: 170

total: 1180 calories (a little short, so I will added on fat free whipped cream!!)

exercise: Off for the weekend unless the family decides to go for a walk in the neighborhood. Otherwise, the workouts resume on Sunday night!

Have a great day

I was asked recently by someone posting on my self improvement blog what were the best self motivational books I have read. Although there are several thousand self motivational books published each year I have come to the conclusion that there is very little that can be added to the many words of self motivational wisdom that have been written over the last century and a half. From the early pioneers like Napoleon Hill to today’s monumental giants like Tony Robbins.

It was said, I think by the latter of these two gurus, that we arrive on this planet without an instruction manual. I think for that reason alone there is not just a thirst for knowledge but a greater need for a guide to how to survive life which drives the market for self improvement books. You don’t need to have suffered a deep psychological trauma to want to invest in one of these guides. But for those who say you can’t deal with serious issues like depression then I disagree. Where my own doctor and a clinical psychologist were unable to help me a number of the books on my all time classic list gave me the support to get my life back on track.

However its not reading self motivational books that gets results its taking action on the advice that is given therein. So my advice is read a small amount of self motivational books but take a lot of action if you want to significantly improve your life.

Can self motivational books bring happiness? Now there is a million dollar question! Depends on your definition of happiness of course. Many people would define it as achieving a certain amount of wealth. However as many wealthy people often say the wealth in and of itself doesn’t bring happiness. In addition have you ever noticed that wealthy people never seem satisfied with what they have got and continually seek to make more and more money.

The truth is that happiness is not a destination it is more likely to be a state of continually striving to achieve goals, achieving them and setting more goals to strive to achieve. If thats your definition then I think self motivational books will help you and my list of all time classics have certainly helped me in that respect. There are many out there who will disagree with my choice of self improvement books and have their own favorites all I can say to them is that these are the ones that gave me the focus and the necessary poke in the ribs to take action and I still revisit them for ideas.

When you become truly self motivational you realize that success is not a destination it is something within you. It is the self motivational attitude that you take to every aspect of your life. Not just the big things but the every day mundane things to. Success is not something you grab a hold of, pin down then show off as some kind of trophy which some less than self motivational people have come to view it. Successful people don’t just achieve success they live it on a daily basis. Many definitions of success describe it as a journey. However I believe it is more than a journey and is in fact a life style and indeed a self motivational life style choice.

Success leaves clues, here is a list of some of the success clues to look for:
1 Focused on worthy goals
2 Self motivational to work towards them (not just looking for short cuts)
3 Pushing for high standards but not bogged down in seeking perfection
4 Seeing the big picture while attending to the detail
5 Persistence is the self motivational watchword
6 Balancing the need for big step change with incremental improvement
7 Holding the gains in success not backsliding into old behaviours
8 Helping others, particularly less fortunate, set and achieve their goals
9 Commitment to delivering on promises
10 Knowing that your goal is still there after the buffeting storms subside
11 Not surrendering control to others by losing your temper
12 Seeing hate and abuse from others as a gift you choose not to accept from them
13 Refuse to acknowledge failure and see it as a learning experience
14 Forge alliances with those who will commit to supporting your goals
15 Knowing that everyone has within them the resources to achieve their goals
16 Realizing that success is a self motivational choice you make not made for you
17 Seeing money as a scorecard to the energy you create in the world not success itself
18 Respect others and their vision of success even when you can’t agree with them
19 Living in the now and valuing every moment of every day
20 Valuing health as the great generator for a self motivational and successful life style

To be self motivational and adopt a success lifestyle you need to be a detective looking for clues. My list above is not meant to be comprehensive but merely a starting point to begin your quest. To get some further clues have a look at this self motivational booklist I compiled.

A lot of people have been asking me why I want six pack abs. I always answer them back with the question, who doesn’t? If you want to look good physically, you must work hard for it. Sacrifices have to be made and you need to know enough information about the right six pack exercises as well as the proper nutritional diet, which will help you reach your goal.

There are different reasons which can motivate anyone to start a regular exercise routine of abdominal workouts. Some people want to tighten the muscles around their stomach to look good and some are just plain health buffs. Motivation is one factor that plays an important role in your success to get a flat stomach.

Exercises to lose weight is probably the most difficult task you may encounter. However, you can try different cardiovascular exercises and abdominal workouts in order to be fit and get that flat abs. Remember that proper nutrition is important to reduce your body fat. If you eat healthy and exercise regularly, getting washboard abs is not as hard as it may seem.

Want to use some muscle supplements? They seem great don’t they? They have flashy labels and catchy infomercials on TV where they show people amazing results. WRONG. Almost all of fancy supplements or diet pills which are supposed to make you lose fat is just a complete waste of money. There are no “magic pills” that will instantly make you lose the layer of fat without you sweating it out or working hard for it.

The fact is you don’t need supplements or pills to get the rockin’ body you want. Knowing how your diet affects your six pack abs is the first step. Follow it up with a commitment to perform a full body exercise regimen that helps burn fat.

We are not talking about boring treadmill or other cardio-based workouts here. You want to focus more on strength training exercises such as lunges, squats, dead-lifts, step-ups, swings and snatches. These types of exercises work every muscle in your body and burn the fat at a higher rate than cardio alone.

So, next time you’re off to do another six pack ab workout, keep these ideas in mind. Getting your six pack quest is a lofty goal – and one that is achievable, but you must be willing to literally run the extra mile. Learn more about successful weight loss and effective exercise regimen so you could put an end to your battle against weight loss permanently.
