Obesity Explained

When I decided it was time for me lose weight, I started keeping track of everything I ate.  I was very diligent about adding up the calories.  I was so proud of myself for keeping such good track of my food and drink intake.

I’d add up my figures at the end of each day and finally have a grand total at the end of the week.  According to my figures, I should have been losing at the minimum two pounds a week.  It wasn’t happening.  It didn’t take me long to get discouraged on my weight loss journey.

So, you need to lose a few pounds, eh? Well don’t we all, luckily managing that extra something on your stomach doesn’t have to be too much trouble by following a few careful but important steps.

1. No more late eating. Seriously. Try to keep yourself from consuming foods or sweats past 9 p.m. or four hours before bedtime. This is crucial to maintaining a healthy metabolism and not allowing your body to store the extra food overnight as fat.

My sister has gone home but I am still losing weight.  She called two days ago and she is continuing to gain weight.  She has gained two pounds while I have lost 6 pounds.  Both of us are happy.

I have had success and failure in many of my weight loss attempts.  I sat down and thought out what I had done in the past to lose weight.  I also thought about what my past weakness were that caused me to gain weight.
