The first thing you should do if you really want to lose weight is buy yourself a device that can be found in all kinds of stores, doesn't cost a lot of money, and has helped millions of Americans manage their weight. This device is called a "bathroom scale". Weigh yourself on the scale every morning, religiously. You hide from or go into denial about what the scale says.
A second thing that should be done several mornings each week if you want to lose weight is going running--preferably before you eat your full breakfast so that you don't cramp and your later breakfast can rebuild your muscles and energy (but a small bit of food or a diet shake for energy before running is a very good idea). Running is proven to be the single best exercise for losing weight, although it is not the only effective one.
A third thing to do every morning is keep a journal of your starting weight that day and your weight loss goals. Write how you feel you are progressing, what you need to do better or more of, and so on and so forth. It is very important to your mental discipline and self-confidence that you can go back and see how far you've come.
Fourth, if you are trying to lose weight, begin eating smaller breakfasts. It is a good idea if you are going to do this to also put yourself on a "nibble diet" in which you eat smaller portions but more times per day; and give yourself a mid morning snack between breakfast and lunch. Energy from food is very important.
An alternative to going running in the mornings is to go for a walk of at least 30 minutes as soon as you wake up. If you do this you should supplement your walking regimen with some kind of aerobics later in the day or evening a few times per week, and your walk should be taken every morning, weather permitting.
One thing that many have found success with in losing weight is eating fiber or taking a fiber supplement every morning. Fiber helps make you feel fuller yet also "cleans you out", making it much harder for your body to stock up on fats from meat.
If you are married or in a serious romantic relationship, there is yet another thing you can do most every morning to lose weight: have sexual intercourse. Much research finds that people generally don't get enough sex for their psychological well-being in the first place, and it's a fact that more sex helps burn off more calories. What's more, the pleasure and intimacy derived from having sex contribute to feelings of self-confidence and a positive attitude, and these are two elements needed by someone who wants to lose weight.
And another thing to do in the morning to help you lose weight: take some time, preferably before you get out of bed, and imagine yourself looking the way you want to look. Do not think about what you have not attained, for this is self-defeating. Instead, imagine what you are going to look like when you've shed the unwanted pounds. Do this every morning to drill it into your subconscious before the day's distractions begin.
