Permanent Weight Loss
Solutions
Many people attempt to lose weight, some will succeed and others will fail, however, the
biggest battle for people who can reduce their weight, is often to keep
to their ideal weight. Many people will find that they have soon returned to
the weight that they were before they went on their diet or even that they are
actually fatter. This can of course be very depressive and can result in them
losing a lot of their self-esteem. What is needed is for a permanent solution
to their weight problems.
There are some obvious routes to
take in the battle to lose weight. They would include increasing the amount in
which we exercise and reducing the amount we eat. It is this eating issue that
can be the hardest to control and to reduce as our temptations often get the
better of us.
In my opinion, what we need to do
is to make our house a fat-free zone. If we become hungry and start looking
through the cupboards and notice for example a packet of crisps, it can often
be very difficult not to eat them. Our desire for instant food can become too
great and our inner demons try and convince us that one packet will not hurt.
If that packet of crisps had not been in the cupboard we would have not been
put into that position of temptation and would of course not have been able to
eat them.
Many years ago, when I
went about losing my own excess weight, I decided to remove all of the foods
from all of the cupboards which I was aware that I needed to stop eating. I
also removed certain drinks such as alcoholic drinks which were also something
that contributed to my weight problems. I put into the dustbin all of the
takeaway menus that I had and basically attempted to make it as hard as
possible for me to eat or drink anything that I shouldn’t have been.
When out and about I had to be determined
to keep to my diet and to not be tempted to buy any of these items from the
shops etc. This was not easy to do as I am somebody who loves all of these
fatty type foods.
In my weekly food shop, I bought
far more fruit and vegetables and was surprised at how quickly my taste buds
started to change. I soon looked forward to eating an apple as an example and
the weight slowly but surely started to reduce.
After many months, I reached a weight that I was happy with. My wife stated that I was now able to start eating items such as dry roasted peanuts, this was a particular favorite of mine. This was possibly true but could easily result in a return to my old bad habits and of course weight problems. I decided to stick with the fruit and my cupboards are still free of those foods which I love to eat but which are not good for my weight.
