Tip 1.

Weight loss is about desire not will power.  How much do you want to loose weight? why?

I'm not so sure I agree with this.  I think weight loss is about breaking bad habits and replacing them with good healthy habits for a life style change.  That in itself is desire and willpower.  You have to have the desire to get healthy and the willpower to put down the donut and pick up the apple.  Desire without willpower and vice versa will not give you results and drag you down.  I want to loose weight for so many reasons.  Some are the right reasons, some are not.  One reason is because I physically feel uncomfortable.  My gut gets in the way and I feel like I'm in a fat suit I can't take off.  Another reason is to get physically fit.  I would love to run a 5k.  I have never been a runner but always wanted to be.  I also want to look better and have more confidence to find "the one."  I know people should love you for who you are but if i were a guy I wouldn't look at me, and by being more confident that positive energy will draw people towards me.  I'm also a believer in you have to love yourself before anyone else can and when I look in the mirror I don't even like what I see.
