Have you ever lost weight but then gained it back right away? Did it become a pattern for you: Lose weight, gain it back, lose weight, gain it back . . . even though you exercise every day?

I know the feeling. This happened to me at least 15 times. I even ate pretty well, except that I loved to eat sugar. I was addicted to sugar. Whether it was a candy bar, frozen yogurt, cookies, cakes . . . And I wouldn't eat one, I'd eat four or five at a time.

So what did I do? I learned how to win the weight loss game. I finally, after so many years, learned how to set weight loss goals.

First, I hired a personal trainer and a nutritionist to help me with the right food plan. I was introduced to this amazing smoothie recipe for weight loss that I still make every morning because it gives me so much energy. 

That's the easy part; you can find someone to help you get started. But the way I was able to lose the weight (and keep it off) was that I got myself on a mental regimen as well. That's right, you have to retrain your brain if you want to go from fat to fit.
