By Aaron Wilding

2009 started not too long ago. I'm sure that a lot of you had 'lose weight fast' as one of your New Year's Resolutions this year. Are you still on track, or did you find it harder to get started then you thought? I hope you're making good progress already!

One of the main things that holds a lot of people back is bad habits. You'll need to change some of those to have any chance of losing weight fast Let's look at 3 things you need to change to lose that weight!

Habit 1 - Everyday Surroundings

Most people don't know how to lose weight fast. Or maybe they do, but they complicate it. One of the basic reasons why a lot of people don't lose the weight they want to is because they are too comfortable in their normal surroundings. So in order to lose weight fast you're going to have to change some habits and get out of your normal surroundings.

Try going for a walk outside. Sign up for a gym membership to get yourself out of the house to exercise. Forget the treadmill you have at home and get some exercise in a different environment. If you have a treadmill at home that is collecting dust, what makes you think that dusting it off is going to motivate you to use it? Get out of your normal surrounds. That alone is a great habit to change.

Habit 2 - Eating Out Too Often

Restaurant and fast food portions are way too big. This is true for both fast food and nice restaurants. They are also way to high on the carbs. Overeating is a big problem. This is especially true if you eat out a lot.

One really easy way to cut back on eating out too much is to do some planning and eat more home-cooked meals. Make it a goal to not eat out as often as you normally do. Take the time to make a home-cooked meal. Fix a meal that is the right portion for you, and then eat that meal! You'll find that the less you eat out the healthier you'll be able to eat!

Habit 3 - Hungry Shopping

This tip may sound a little silly, but this is a huge one and is really a great tip for how to lose weight fast. Have you ever noticed that when you go shopping on an empty stomach you buy more of the foods that you shouldn't? All because they look good at the time? Or even worse, you're so hungry that you decide to grab a pizza after shopping!

If you can keep the emotions out of shopping and eating you'll find that you eat a lot healthier. This will help you in your goal of losing weight fast.

Changing your habits is key if you're going to lose weight! You'll have to change your habits to create a new you! Good luck on your journey of losing weight fast!
