I am not sure about you but I am a person who has struggled to control my weight for the majority of my adult life. I have to admit that I am a lover of goods food and regularly enjoy dining out. A couple of years ago I realised that the time had come when I needed to lose some weight. I tried many a diet with a distinct lack of success. Eventually I did manage to reach my target weight and in this article I will be writing about the ways in which I achieved this.
For a few months I had been having a fair amount of success by what is often referred to as a calorie controlled diet. This form of weight loss plan requires a lot of discipline and my main problem was the fact that to every three good days I would also have one really bad day where I would basically eat and drink far too much. Yes I was fully aware that this would ruin my chances of overall success and started to look for a new method.
Now I have to say that I am not exactly one for exercise. I have never enjoyed going to the gym as it makes me feel very paranoid as the people at these gyms seem to look so fit.
Swimming and running have never really floated my boat but at the same time I knew that I would have to start some form of exercise. One day I was reading a few articles on the subject of successful weight loss plans and was fortunate to read about the benefits of walking.
I thought to myself, I can do that, I like walking. The next day I went on three long walks, I was not walking particularly quickly and actually enjoyed the experience, it was quite therapeutic in fact.
I continued to walk in this way for a period of around four months and also continued to attempt to count those calories. This was the recipe for my success in helping myself to attain my target weight and I hope it will also prove to be of use to other people.
