This goes for exercise, work and especially diet.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How can you ever expect to get to and stay at your desired weight and hate the foods you are eating which is something you do 3 times per day everyday? It would mean that everyday is a 'fight'. Your willpower against your cravings and the strain of that will wear you down over time and you will never win.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Making sure that the food you eat at every meal is enjoyable and that you are looking forward to it is another &lt;strong&gt;pillar&lt;/strong&gt; to weight loss success.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;More ideas down the road. &lt;a href="http://www.solidweightloss.com/satisfied/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;FULL PAGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/539938240656890841-2355576603608253267?l=www.solidweightloss.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/539938240656890841/2355576603608253267/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.solidweightloss.com/2009/03/it-must-be-enjoyable.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/539938240656890841/posts/default/2355576603608253267'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/539938240656890841/posts/default/2355576603608253267'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.solidweightloss.com/2009/03/it-must-be-enjoyable.html' title='It Must be Enjoyable'/><author><name>Webmaster</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08523971997287306751'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-539938240656890841.post-6535114225488927752</id><published>2009-03-18T13:24:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-03-18T13:39:55.698-07:00</updated><title type='text'>For the Long Term</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.solidweightloss.com/longterm/"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 146px" alt="long term weight loss" src="http://www.solidweightloss.com/uploaded_images/longterm-734734.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;If your weight loss plan isn't long term (meaning for life) then it will always fail.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is a &lt;strong&gt;pillar&lt;/strong&gt; in terms of weight loss principles.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What this means is that any diet that you wish to try MUST be something that you can see yourself enjoying forever AND is healthy. Most diets out there don't fit that criteria so after you have tried them and 'suffered' and willed your way through them you will pretty much be back where you started.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Make this principle a key part of your overall plan if you want any permanent change.

If it was then we'd all get it right the first time.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There are alot of variables in the weight loss equation and this 'equation' is not the same for everyone. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It sort of goes something like this:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Genetics (big one) + Exercise + Diet + Metabolism + Other Factors (i.e. hormonal) = Weight Loss &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Each one of these variables in the equation can then be analyzed and broken down. Example:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Diet - Type of food, amount of food, size of meals, glycemic index of food, frequency of meals, protein carb ratio etc.... &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now, each one of these can have entire books written about them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whatever weight loss is ... it's not simple. &lt;a href="http://www.solidweightloss.com/simple/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;FULL PAGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/539938240656890841-2442268686636874197?l=www.solidweightloss.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/539938240656890841/2442268686636874197/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.solidweightloss.com/2009/03/its-not-that-simple.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/539938240656890841/posts/default/2442268686636874197'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/539938240656890841/posts/default/2442268686636874197'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://www.solidweightloss.com/2009/03/its-not-that-simple.html' title='It&apos;s Not that Simple'/><author><name>Webmaster</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='08523971997287306751'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-539938240656890841.post-678990405792410002</id><published>2009-02-18T05:27:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-02-18T05:39:13.736-08:00</updated><title type='text'>About This Blog</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.solidweightloss.com/uploaded_images/webmaster-731561.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="FLOAT: left;
