Diet Article: Losing pounds equals losing weight.

Ever gain a few pounds, then quickly lose them?

Have you ever noticed that the longer you allow excess weight to remain on your body, the harder it is to get off?

Boy - is that ever true!  Think about those holidays last year.  

The average person packs on weight, about ten or so extra pounds, particularly those that don't carefully monitor their diet during the holidays.

Most people who gain weight during the holidays believe that they'll quickly lose it after the holiday season ends.

If the holiday season only lasted a couple of weeks, this task would be a lot easier to accomplish.

The problem is that the holidays last from October 31st until January 2nd. By that time, the individual has built up a pattern for eating more food every day. Not just salad and fresh fruit - we're talking nuts, pies, cakes, stuffing - and so forth.

As the weeks roll by, the weight builds and packs on the body.  When January 2nd comes around, that BIG DIET is most times, very short lived.  And right when the dieter gets a second wind, Valentine's day rears its red head.

Diet Tip: Make it a goal to weigh about the same on January 2nd as you did on October 31st of the previous year - NO MATTER WHAT YOUR CURRENT WEIGHT IS.  Because once that weight packs on, it's very hard to get off again.
