Ok.  I’ve talked about ways to lose weight fast, but what about long term?

My little tricks I mentioned previously do work but they are only temporary.   I am on a journey to long term weight loss.  I weigh about 60 pounds more than I did 10 years ago.  I want to get it off and keep it off.  I think i will continue to take Alli and try to cut out the sugar.  I do drink alcohol a bit with coke.  I don’t think I will quit drinking but I can switch my mixer to water.  I have tried to drink liquor with diet or sugar free soda and it does not work.  It tastes horrible!  I don’t know what it is.  But water works.

I am also going to dig up some “skinny” pictures of myself and put them around the house.  That always helps to motivate me, especially when cheese cake is calling my name.

So starting today, I am going to start taking Alli again, cut out the sugar, and get off my ass and do some physical activity.  These things should be easy enough and are not a drastic change.  See, when you try to do something extremely different from your normal routine you tend to fail.  Just integrate some small changes and it will be much easier to stick with.
