My focus is on achieving my ideal weight. Now, it's a work in progress but I have made a lot of progress to achieving this goal, something you might enjoy reading about on my website.

Everyone interested in weight loss focuses on what they take into their bodies and exercise. We all do !

But there is another important aspect that we must be sure to work on and that is posture. You see, it's all very well losing the weight from our bodies but we will never lose that telly belly without working on our posture.

How do we do that ? Simple. Awareness is the key ! We must be aware of how we are sitting for a start. Do we "slop" down on the couch with our telly belly in super relaxed mode, or do we focus on keeping it flexed and firm. I know we can't do this all of the time because the telly takes our focus, but we can flex it every time we think about it can we not.

And what about when we sit on a chair ? Do we sit as though we have a curvature of the spine, again with our telly belly super relaxed while we "load" it ? We need to be aware of our posture and sit up straight.

And when we stand ? Do we stand with our telly belly pushed out ? I often catch myself doing this. Let's be aware and stand with our telly belly pulled in.

The more we are aware of and respond to how we lie, sit and stand, the more our posture will improve and the sooner the telly belly will "deflate."

I am working hard at being aware of my posture and just wanted to share this with anyone who , like me, is trying to lose weight and the telly belly in particular.

Be healthy, be happy, be safe.
