First thing first.  What's your body type?

I don't mean your blood type, your age or your gender :-)

What I meant is that everybody - no pun intended there - belongs to one of three body types below and by being aware of that, it makes a huge difference in your weight loss goals:

• endomorph
• ectomorph
• mesomorph

The endomorph has a round body type, meaning he has a round head, round abdomen, rather short arms and legs but fat upper arms and thighs.  Male endomorphs look stout, tough and strong.

The ectomorph is thin, with a narrow body and long and thin arms and legs. They usually have little body fat or muscle and do not gain weight easily.  Perhaps, some women would desire to be ectomorphs as most female models have typically slender builds.

Desirable to most males, mesomorphs are strong and have an athletic build. They can develop and build muscle mass easily and can usually eat without too much fear, but are still prone to weight gain.

Thus, once you realize what body type you're given by the Higher Power, you're in a better position to set realistic goals.

It's time to look into your mirror and know what body type you have and realize that you can't change it. There's really no point struggling with what you can't change just like no amount of jumping can change your height. Rather, just appreciate what you are.

Now, look for someone with the same body type as you whom you admire his/her physical condition and work towards a similar physique!

You Can Do It!
