So you have 10 days to lose weight maybe even 2 weeks and your probably thinking it's never going to work. I simply can't lose weight in only a couple of weeks unless I buy those magic weight loss pills or something like that.

Of course you are going to be cynical and I would be too if I wasn't the author of a best selling diet ebook Lose 10 Pounds in 2 Weeks but I can tell you from the hundreds of satisfied clients I have had tell me a 10 day or 2 week diet if you prefer can really work for you.Provided of course it is safe, nutritionally balanced and you should for good measure include a light exercise routine.

Have you looked at yourself in a mirror recently? If not I want you to next time you have a bath or shower to take time to look at yourself. Are you pleased with what you see or horrified? How do you look when you look at your naked body in a full length mirror?

If your used to judging your success with losing weight using scales I want you to try a different method. I find it is far more effective and less demotivational if you gain a little.I suggest you buy a full length mirror and put it either on a door of your closet or on a wall where you can stand and see yourself everytime you get out of the bath or shower.

When you look at yourself looking down on yourself you look bigger than you really are the birds eye view emphasises the size of you and makes you look much fatter.In addition if you wear clothing which is skin tight and you don't have the figure for it you will look huge and overweight but a change of outfit could make all the difference.

After some heartfelt thinking you have come to the conclusion that maybe you really are a few pounds heavier than you would like and if you are going to look good on the beach or whatever you are going to have to do something about it.

When you first thought about going on a diet you had a couple of months to lose the excess pounds but some how time has run away from you and you are still at square one with only a couple of weeks to go.Now you are going to need to lose 10 pounds or so in 14 days or even on a 10 day diet.

I find so many people screw up when they try and lose weight in a short space of time.Most people for some crazy reason just assume if you stop eating the weight will drop off.Ok maybe it will to some extent but by about the first half of week one you will be irritable, unhappy and starving. Hardly sets you up for a great vacation or party does it?

Maybe your planning to get married or be guest at wedding or prehaps it's just a party you have been looking forward to for weeks by now if you have been starving yourself or following a wacky diet you are fed up and can't be bothered with anything.

So lets back track you've decided you want to lose 10 pounds but if you lost 6 or 8 pounds would it really be that bad? Of course not don't obsese with what the scales tell you and let your eyes guide you (remember the mirror) Now just close you eyes a minute and imagine this ...

You'll be feeling sexier, more stunning and full of confidence when your wearing that sexy little black dress (LBD) or pretty colored bikini, think of all that extra attention you'll get and how hot and turned on you are going to feel when you are with your partner knowing how good you look. However if you been single for ages you better get used to having a lot more attention as well after all your'e a hot babe now.

Well was that more motivational than thinking about losing weight of course it is and this combined with a healthy eating plan and a mild but effective exercise regimen is all you need.

Seriously you don't need a wonder pill and you don't need to spend your entire life at the gym just follow a good 10 day diet or even a fourteen day diet what's 4 days among friends and you will see amazing results.
