Simply put, most of us will either pay now in the form of experiencing the weight loss process OR we will pay later in the form of health woes.
If you are seeking to lose excess body fat, you must keep in control of your weight loss plan from the start. Stick to your goals, even if others think you're not being fun.
So what if they have a pizza party at the office and you don't want to be included? Better that, than having major health woes later in life. Layers of body fat contribute to heart attack, stroke, blood pressure issues and a multitude of unwanted health concerns and diseases.
