So, How many kilograms do you want to lose or gain?
Is this really about who you are? Listen to what your body tells you. Are you happy with yourself? Have you ignored any problems by not paying attention to your body?
Think of it like running a small business with a few workers. If things aren’t managed well, your workers might feel unhappy and quit. This idea works if you’re older than forty.
“Set achievable goals for a better chance of succeeding. You have more than fifty years ahead to finish them. Just remember, not giving up is the key.”
Staying a healthy weight makes it less likely to have health issues, as most of us know.
Are you ready to start?
