Find The Diet Right For You
15 Feb 2009Dieting does not need to be a chore, however many of the weight loss programs that are available make it this way. If you are able to find an easy to follow diet or weight loss program which can help you reach a weight you’re comfortable with then you’re set.
My Background
My name is David Schloss and I’ve struggled to keep my weight under control for almost my entire life. Though I never had problems meeting friends at school and didn’t find it hard to meet girls, I believed that there would be no way that someone would date me for my how I looked.
I was a very negative person and I frequently felt stressed and depressed. I often felt sorry for myself and would feel envious of other people who seemed fit, healthy and happy. The problem I found was that if I ate food for ten minutes, I would feel a sense of guilt for around two hours.
Like many people who are over-weight, I was not happy this way and often looked into different types of weight loss programs or diets. Maybe it is just me, but they seem so unrealistic and for somebody like myself impossible to follow. I needed a simple, easy to follow weight loss program.
The solution to my weight problem
The first thing I had to do was to be honest with myself. I asked myself a series of questions:
Why are you over-weight?
I do not eat the right types of food and I rarely exercise.
How determined are you to lose weight?
Very determined.
Are you willing for this to be a long term project, or are you looking for a quick fix?
The quicker the better, however I realize that crash diets do not work and end up causing more harm than good.
Do you feel you have enough self-discipline to succeed?
I am not sure but I will have to have, to reach my target weight.
The Weight Loss Plan
These are the things I must do:
- Eat three healthy meals a day.
- Exercise more.
- Fight the demons in my head who constantly tempt me into eating.
These are the things I must not do:
- Snack in between meals.
- Eat too much takeout, I will basically allow myself one a week.
- Lie to other people or even myself about what I have eaten.
This sounds so simple and is very easy to follow. I have to admit that it is not that easy to carry off, especially not being able to snack between meals. With determination you can succeed and the sense of happiness and pride you will feel when you reach weight change you are happy with, will make it all worthwhile.
