The Top 100 Weight Loss Tips continues with article 43. This series brings you one hundred informative articles especially to help you achieve whatever goal you set out with regards to losing weight. In this post, I’ll get one thing clear in your mind if you are looking at other people who are doing the same things you may be doing but seem to either lose more weight than you, or lose less!

Why should this be if all things are equal? It’s simple human nature that we are all different and that different people are simply going to lose weight at different rates to others. Let’s see why this is.

Why Do People Lose Weight Differently?

The first thing you can stop dong, if you’re doing it is to stop comparing yourself to other people. Everybody is different in a variety of different ways. So it just stands to reason that different people are going to lose weight at different rates to everyone else and that includes you. You’ll notice this happen even if you are doing exactly the same things that they do.

So what is is that stops other people losing weight at the same rate?

Well, for a start, we’re generally different weights to begin with. We have different body sizes, different heights, different bone structures, different fat to muscle ratios, different metabolic rates and different digestive systems! Is that enough differences, or do you want all the scientific mumbo jumbo that goes into even greater depth as to why this should be?

No? Didn’t think so!

The key to making it work specifically for you is in finding your own triggers, or hot buttons to press. The main thing to remember is to keep your own goal firmly within your sights and then do whatever you need to do ensure that you meet that goal. What happens is that when you start looking too closely at the habits of someone else, you’re likely to become discouraged especially if they seem to be doing better than you and maybe even quit without realizing that it’s totally physically impossible to be anyone but yourself!

When you concentrate your entire attention only on yourself, then you can disassociate from what others are doing and focus only on you losing weight for you! You do this for you and nobody else, so what anyone else is capable of doing is great for them but has nothing to do with what you’re doing just for you.

When it comes to losing weight, be selfish for heaven’s sake and just make sure you succeed!
