Are you planning for weight loss? If so, you’re going to need a guide, a map to follow. You need something that’s guaranteed to work weight loss wonders. Bring forth the great weight loss plan.

Start simple and easy and then progress, like so.

Begin by adding more water to your daily fluid consumption. More water equals less water retention and bloating. It’s the perfect diet nutrient.

Try walking 20-30 minutes a day, preferably after your last daily meal. This allows for full digestion and good blood and oxygen circulation and weight loss. Walking is one of the greatest weight reduction tools ever.

Plan your days in advance. This means diet meals, workouts, and other activities. The mere action of planning your day puts your mind at ease and allows you to handle stresses and unforeseen circumstances, easier. It makes losing weight easier as well.

Write in a daily journal. A journal does many things. It keeps your weight loss efforts on track. It keeps you focused on your weight loss future. But most importantly it’s like the exhaust for a car engine; it helps you get the bad things out so your fresh and prepared for more good stuff tomorrow.

You’re going to be thinner tomorrow, so plan and plan and plan some more.

Spend some quiet time by yourself early in the morning. By waking up early you give yourself time to do many of the above weight loss activities without the anxiety of life immediately clamoring for your attention.

The great weight loss plan would not be complete without a mention of persistence. Persistence has been written about through the ages so much that I think there’s been some devaluing of the trait itself.

Persistence guarantees your weight loss success. When you build the quality of persistence over time, losing weight suddenly becomes a breeze. It’s like depositing money into a bank account. That money, or your persistence, begins to work for you in ways you cannot imagine.

Stick to your weight loss guns. Be persistent. The world will give you what you desire.
