Life experience: I have been struggling with my weight for a number of years. As a teenager, I was a size 7/8 up until my twenties. I started putting on the weight in my thirties. Now I am a size 20. I try to walk a lot every day and on my lunch hour. I try to eat right every day and three times per day. I would have a snack when I come from work. I try to eat smaller portion, but I get hungry again. So I would eat some fruits or nuts in between. I really hate going to the doctor sometimes because each time they weigh you I feel down because I put on a few more pounds. I would ask the doctor's assistance to take off a few pounds for my clothes. She would take off 2 pounds and wow I am still overweight.
Now I am learning to eat better and to watch my weight. I would eat about three fruits that can fit in the palm of my hand. I would cut down on my calorie intake. You can make changes to your diet by cutting down on your calories. Sometimes I am hungry and I have to eat. Sometimes I snack out of habit without paying attention to my appetite. My problem is I love to eat a buttered bagel every day. When I cook, and the food is really good I tend to eat seconds. I know that this is not good. I can't help myself. My food is tasty and good. A lot of times, I tend to get hungry after 9 pm and I can't go to bed hungry at all. I am trying to eat healthy snacks in between so I would not get hungry before bed time.
Well I have some tips to reduce your weight: First of all start to eat smaller portion of food. You have to eat a spoon of rice, one piece of meat and half plate of vegetables and drink a glass of water after your meal. Also try to maintain a 1500 calories diet. Take your time and eat slower, chew your food well.
Exercise your weight down: After reducing your calories - try regular exercise. Try to exercise for about 30 minutes three times per week. Try working on, push-ups, sit-ups, crunches, squatting, jump rope, jumping jacks, lifting weights, jog, yoga, Pilates and dance.
Performing a simple weight routine three times a week will keep you toned. And increase the number of calories you burn.
