The trick on eating, of course, is to focus on building a healthy lifestyle instead of setting a goal to lose X pounds by a certain date. And while exercising it’s important to not overdo it. The Wii Fit actually reminds me to stop and take a break if I’ve been playing too long. That’s a great measure of a successful product, right? To have to be reminded to stop exercising.

I depend totally on my impulse to do anything. I too am struggling with my weight and need to lose at least 15 Kgs. Just when I am beginning to hit my stride in my exercise routine and get into the “flow”, I usually pull a muscle somewhere and have to lay off for a few days causing either putting on the lost weight or losing the flexibility. As soon as I feel better, I start off all over again telling myself that, that piece of lay off was God’s will!!

Your advise is another manifestation of getting something in my life to challenge myself irrespective of the discomfort. I intend giving in to that impulse – I am a genius, remember?
