Weight Control For Webmasters

Are you gaining weight sitting in front of the computer? It's easy to do.

It's easy to get stuck in a rut and forget about your health needs. Heck, this web Business stuff is fun, well most of the time at least.

Whether you're putting together a new site, tweaking a sales letter, developing a new ppc campaign, or putting up landing pages, it's all very exciting. Just thinking about the potential and possibilities can make even the most skeptical jump up and down with joy and enthusiasm.

Yes, it's exciting. You spend hours and hours learning. You set up your website, getting it just right, developing your marketing plan, writing and networking. Sometimes you spend even more hours trying to figure out why things won't work and how to get unstuck. Ever been there?

You've had your head buried in the keyboard and before you know it a month has gone by. Your pants are tighter, you have to loosen your belt a notch, you weigh yourself and Yikes! you've gained 5 lbs.

It's easy to do. You're busy. You're starting to see some results with your web Business. You're getting some sign-ups for your newsletter, meeting people on the forums you frequent and maybe you've even made a sale or two. Hallelujah!

You're so excited and pumped that your mind races around all the other ideas in your head for even more websites and strategies and you can't wait to start them. Now you spend even more hours on top of the other hours you spend in front of the computer.

Hold on! Sit back and take a deep breath because another month could go by and you could gain another 5 lbs. or maybe even 10. So I ask you, if you keep doing this how much will you weigh in a year? See what I mean?

It doesn't have to be that way. You can still spend time in front of the computer getting your web Business even more successful, developing more web sites and control your weight, maybe even lose some.

How, you ask? Well, the first thing you have to do is recognize that you can't keep doing what you've been doing and expect to control your weight. I know it's hard not to fire up the computer first thing in the morning especially when you can't wait to see how much money you made overnight. Yes, it does happen.

But whether you have good news or bad sitting in your in box before you know it you're clickin' here and there and two hours have gone by. But, but, you say, I have emails to check, stats to check, I have to visit my forums and on and on and on.

Maybe you brought in your Coffee before you sat down. Maybe you even grabbed a bagel or a donut as well. But now it's 10 am. and you haven't even brushed your teeth, washed your face, or combed your hair. You're still in your jammies or sweat pants and you figure, oh well, I've got lots of work to do today.

So you dive in even deeper. You put up new pages on your web site, brainstorm a new ppc campaign, answer emails and etc, etc.

By now it's mid-afternoon and you're starved. You open the refrigerator and grab the easiest things. You go to the pantry and grab more easy things. Usually highly processed sugary and starchy stuff. Who has time to cook! You've got work to do! And so you sit down with a sandwich, some chips, some cookies or donuts and a soda.

Before you know it's almost dark. The house is a mess, there are
