The everyday stress and strains of life make us all susceptible to treating ourselves by snacking at the end of a long hard day. I was the worst, a quick sneak peak in the fridge before and after dinner.

Some days I would need to have a few little treats during the day to keep my morale up if I was having a stress-full day.

I found that by using some stress relieving techniques I could be loosing belly fat and body weight. I had set myself a weight loss management program and these techniques really help aid my progress, but they can also help you along your way regardless to loose weight a week.

I found that not just concentrating on weight loss but my overall wellbeing and health I was more successful at achieving the goals I set myself.

yourself. Five to ten minutes every few hours. Whether you are at home or work, a quick short walk around the block or even some simple stretches just to relax and loosen some muscle groups.

2 .Meditation to loose weight a week: This is easier to fit into a day then you may think.
