Posture Pays

Do you sneak a glance at your reflection as you pass by a window and when you see yourself you straighten up? Do you feel like you have been working on losing weight and you aren’t getting any compliments on your trimmer figure? Don’t inhibit your weight loss goals by slouching. For one, you will lose more weight when you see and feel results. It is just part of human nature that when others notice, we get more motivated to continue and lose more weight. So when you slouch, you round your back, which makes your neck and chest seem fatter, and you push out your tummy. Not only is this unattractive but you are letting some of your muscles go instead of keeping them engaged. Instead, push your shoulders back as far as they can go, push your chest out, and try and keep the top of your head tall. You should feel your mid section muscles tighten. If you feel this, you are not only strengthening those muscles but also you look like you have confidence. This will really help in your goals to lose weight. When others start dishing out compliments on your new self, you will feel like you are getting somewhere and that your daily routine isn’t for nothing. Try it and see results!
