and you pay the rent with Calories.
This is super important for people to get, because it can occur like fat is hard to lose. It really, really, really isn't.
Three Quick Examples
Lets say you rent an apartment. And every month you pay double rent. Then, you tell all your freinds that you can't believe that they haven't evicted you yet.
Lets say you lease a car. Every month you make double payments. And you are really pissed off that they haven't repossessed your car yet.
Lets say you own a house. Every month you pay more than your mortgage payment. And you are totally frustrated that the bank hasn't foreclosed on your house yet.
Fat Is Exactly The Same
People eat way more calories than they should, and then they can't believe that they haven't lost weight.
People have pizza for dinner one night, McDonald's the next, and chicken wings the night after that, and then they're really pissed off that they haven't lost any weight.
People drink three nights a week, and then they are frustrated that their workout isn't getting them results.
If You Stop Paying For Your Fat, It Will Get Repossesssed
I'm serious, there is a repo man for fat.
He doesn't come in a bottle of magic pills. He doesn't come with the late night ab gizmo, and he doesn't come with running a lot.
The fat repo man comes when you stop paying for the fat with excess calories. Period.
He comes even faster when you start eating higher quality meals.
Stop Working So Hard, and Make It Easy
I'm serious, people have got to get it out of their head that losing fat is hard.
The truth is, it actually takes a lot of food to stay fat.
That's one of the biggest reasons I like to have people keep a food log – it's the first time they've ever really gotten present to what they eat.
An online food log that counts calories and tracks protein/carbs/fat ratios for you is even better. 
If you really want to take it up a notch, weigh and measure your food for a month AND keep an online food log.
Bethenny Frankel says it's like keeping your check book.
It's just the responsible thing to do.
So just stop making double payments, and the fat will get taken away from you whether you like it or not.

That’s a very interesting analogy of people renting calories. I also enjoyed the information you put across, weight loss is not an exact science so it’s nice to get ideas and opinions from many different sources. You spoke about keeping an online food journal to track your calorie intake through the weight loss plan. I’ve heard this is a great idea, so I picked it up and it’s really helped me see which foods work well with my body. Check out a great food journal here, http://www.fitclick.com/calorie_counter.
