Hi
Over the weekend I saw a friend of mind who I have not seen for a few years. On seeing me she said something like “I can’t believe how you have changed!” After a couple of drinks, the conversation turned back to my diminishing frame and what kind of diet I had been on and she could not believe it when I told her that I am not on a “diet” as such I am just not eating it.
As this is a lot’s of weight to lose board I feel that we can get down to basics here. We all know that being 8 stone, 100lbs or 50kgs over weight has nothing to do with what we eat, its down more down to WHY we eat. I my case I have always been fat, wartime parents with a “don’t waste anything” attitude. This attitude stretched from clothes to furnishings to food. When I look back most things that we eat when I was a child were fried or contained huge amounts of butter, for more frequently both, then followed by a huge mug of tea and biscuits. It really is not that much of a surprise that when I went to school I was “the fat kid”.
Okay, fast forward……..
Why did I eat? For protection? As a cushion against failure? To keep people away? As a front? The answer to all of these questions on reflection I think the answer is yes. The current weight loss attempt has taken me since 2006 with around the last 20 months with the weight slow creeping back on, not any more.
We all know that the only way to gain weight is to intake more calories than we burn, and the only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than we intake. Perhaps I should write the ultimate weight loss book, it would only contain three chapters;
----------------------------------------------------------------
Universal Weight Loss Guide
Chapter 1 – Why we gain weight
We only increase our weight when we intake more calories than we expend
Chapter 2 – How we lose weight
We will only decrease our weight when we expend more calories than we intake.
Chapter 3 - Conclusion - How to lose weight
Intake fewer calories and move more.
The End
-------------------------------------------------------------
We all know that this is the absolute truth, does anyone think it would sell?
