First taste

In the previous section I started by realizing what kind of life you are living; finding the consequences of living the life as we do today; and to create a ideal situation giving you hope and inspiration. It might be an inspiration in itself to be more attractive for others; and finding the love you miss in your life. Or starting to feel more attractive for the one you already fell in love with, and want to share your life with.

Now; I briefly mentioned you can still enjoy sweets and other good things now and then; but eating less; and slower. Your main focus should however be to start to eat 5 meals a day and each of them smaller than normal. It is a fact you digestion system work slower when it doesn’t have something to work on, and suddenly having to digest a lot. I think this is a mistake many; including myself do. We eat a lot on a few meals each day.

I guess I forgot to mention; but after we have realized what we want we should start setting goals, or projects. Projects as setting fixed time to eat each day. We should start projects as learning to cook homemade meals.  You will start lots of projects; and continuously creating new goals and projects to achieve the life style we want.

The first project should be to start eating five times a day; and writing down fixed time of the day when we will eat. The first meal should be shortly after awakening, and the last meal should be some hours before going to sleep. Both of them are logical as the first meal will let the body start working with the food once you start; and eating some hours before going to sleep will make sure your body has worked with the food well before going to sleep and resting. The other three meals should be distributed throughout the day.

The next project is of course to educate your-self to creating healthy and good food, and to teach your-self to enjoy sweet fruits and vegetables. These sweets and vegetables can easily replace sweets you normally eat, and you will feel much easier while eating them. There is nothing wrong cutting some fruits and vegetables to a plate and eating it as snacks. Apples, small carrots and grapes are good things to serve on a plate.  Just try fruits and vegetables and learn which one you enjoy eating as snacks.

First taste

What is the secret for rapid weight loss? Diets? Starving yourself? Magical pills? What could it be? Exercising for hours each day? I would say neither; or maybe a combination.

I have decided to find a solution. I doubt it will be within one week; but bit more since I want a way working; and keeping the weight down. Most of us have tried to eat a bit less; practically starving; or diets. And yes; they work for a bit; but shortly after we have the same weight again; or even heavier than previous.

I think the only way to lose weight easily; and keep the weight down is simpler. It’s not about forcing ourselves to starve or exercise for hours. And for those magical pills; forget them. If there really was a pill helping you lose weight the newspapers would write about them; and doctors would gladly give them to patients. But face it. There is no such miracle cure to get away from overweight.

The solution to lose weight, and still slim is simple. We have to change our lives. It’s not as easy as it sounds like; but it’s easier that the other options of suffering.

The first thing we have to do is realizing our situation; what do we eat that is unhealthy? Do we eat a lot of fast-food? Do we sit all day without moving enough? Do we eat or drink lots of chocolate or soda? These are questions we; each for ourselves have to answer. Next we have to realize what might happened if we keep gaining weight? What are the consequences of a life as overweight? Heart problems? Hyper tension? Diabetes? There are a waste amount of lethal or dangerous illnesses we have a risk of getting if we don’t have a healthy life style. And please don’t give excuses for yourself; I face its dangerous living as I do; and so should you. I am no better than anyone; but I want to improve myself. I want to get in control. I want to be happy with myself. No longer hating what I see in the mirror. No more blaming everyone else for my short-comings. Hence I write down my current life situation, and I write down consequences of living as I do today.

When we have written down these bad things we start focus on the life we want; what kind of food do we want eat?  Which kind of sports do we want to master and become good in? How would our self-esteem be if we felt slimmer and healthier? Would it help yourself and those around you if you got happier with yourself?  Just put happiness and goodness to the life you want; let the new life you imagine inspire you and give you hope. This is vital to succeed to change your life; to enjoy everything you do. Don’t feel you go on diet; but feel you are changing to more healthy food. And please don’t misunderstand. I still want you to enjoy fast-food; chocolate and soda; but in limited amount; and when we taste those things that are unhealthy we should eat it slowly. We should be enjoying the taste.  It’s healthier; and you will not gain as much weight if you eat slowly. Eating in a rush; not taking the time to enjoy what we eat is one of the problems that might cause you to gain weight again.
