What I Have Tried to Shed The Extra Pounds
I began to realize that I was a little fat when I began to hit puberty. I thought they were joking. I was not chubby, I just had a great shape. No one could convince me that I did not have the ideal look. The truth is that it was possible that others could look at me and give a more honest opinion then I could give myself.
It was only natural that I tried to find a way to fix the issue. Naturally I turned to the wisdom of the of message boards such as the biggest loser forum message board and discovered the that there were many popular diets and I decided on a diet that appealed to me because it was 1) simple to follow with limited food choices, and 2) allowed foods I liked.
Here is the diet I chose. The diet included all you want of fat laden meats, eggs, cheese, butter, oils, anything fat is okay and but no breads, including whole grain and white bread, grains, rice, beans and little if any vegetables or fruits. which sounded good to me especially because it did not include working out and doing something crazy like a six pack ab exercise program.
I thought the plan was simple. I cooked up a big old steak for my dinner skipping the rolls that normally accompany it. It is easy for me to picture this meal even after time has passed. This diet going to be a cinch to follow.
The problem was that after three days, it was getting old and I was not able to create anything else for me to eat. It left me very hungry. All I could think about was toast. I knew that it was time to give up on it. I not sure how effective it was. I cannot recall the results. There was no way that I would even attempt to do in order to lose weight because it was not worth the effort.
I decided to try to lose weight fasting and his made sense because don't eat anything and of course you'd lose weight so I decided to fast for a week which turned out to be about four days. The first day was the worst, then the hunger went away and the next few days were fine. There was not a lot of exercise that was required so I was able to keep going despite a lack of energy. The problems arose after a few days on the plan. I was starving and there was not enough food in the house to satisfy my needs. I Understood what to do. Fast over.
How did I end the fast? Was I able to quit the fast by making the right choices that I was supposed to do about food. Of course not. I emptied the fridge instead. I kepi eating one thing after another and eventually laid back with such a bloated feeling that I could not even move. The feeling was more miserable than anything else I had ever experienced. And I decided that this type of pain was as bad if not worse than the other diet I had tried.
So what did I accomplish? I had tried two weight loss plans. I began to doubt my abilities to do what everyone else made to look so easy. Once I had given up I started doing what I had done in the past. My new diet plan consisted of choosing similar things to put on my plate for just about every meal. For an entire year I had a cheeseburger and fries at the company cafeteria, every day, without fail. I liked the taste. No pounds were going on my body or coming off of it. According to my doctor, I was healthy.
Somebody might say I was chubby, but I thought I looked fine. And I was not following a continuous series of different diets. I was not miserable like so many of my friends seem to be. I had learned the most important thing about dieting. Learn to like yourself from the inside. If you can accomplish that, you can accomplish anything.
