The truth is I have a huge weight problem. And a difficulty is that I am at an age that I need to get it under control and fast. Exercise is almost out of the question. My doctor does not talk about my weight. I suspect he has given up on doing that. It seems that the out-of-control weight I am wearing is just too much for him too. Sigh.
You know, I have tried some things to deal with it. I remember one diet plan that said I should go to the grocery store and only shop on the outside wall of the store. At that time, the stores had all their unprocessed foods there. The plan did not allow for using canned products of any kind. It was extremely hard to keep to that plan because there were things in the aisles that I needed. Eventually, I stopped going to the weigh ins. Not much happened there.
A doctor gave me a liquid diet. Unfortunately, at the time, I was an over-the-road trucker. It was extremely necessary that I keep my strength up and the liquid diet robbed me of that. I stopped that one when my partner, who weighed MUCH more than I, ate all his meals in the truck in front of me because he apparently resented me for reminding him of his weight through the diet I was on. I did not say a word to him but I did not like that guy one bit. I was so glad to be rid of him as a partner. YUK!
There have been others too. Some better than others like one of the carb counting diets which I would caution people to go on for short term only. I did lose some weight on that one but the best benefit was the lowering of my blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Yeehaw!!! Of course, that lasted until I left the diet. It did take about nine months before the old problems resurfaced.
Know what? It would appear that I haven’t tried a few other things like weight loss pills. Mostly, I have gotten so tired of trying to diet that I would rather just adjust my eating habits to be more body friendly. I think that would help enormously, don’t you? So, I have a new plan. Hopefully it will help me more than other things have. I really hate to lose some weight only to have it come bouncing back on and the scale reads higher than before. ACK!!!

there are a lot of diet plans, exercise routines out there but the thing is, its easier said than done… it will require a lot of work and commitment to achieve your desired result! but the rule of thumb i live by, is to enjoy what your doing so that it becomes less of a chore… i hope you’ll find the right one for you so that you’d be able to loose weight and have a smile on your face!

Yes, indeed, there are mountains of diet plans and diet this and diet that. Unfortunately, I have found that the best way to do anything about losing weight is to change a lifestyle. Period. Nothing else works. You can try things that will help you on your way for a short while but that’s all. It’s sort of a quick fix to a long term problem.
