weight loss diet

Now I am not sure about you
but I find it so hard to diet and to lose weight. The weight loss programs and diets that I have tried are just so boring. They are also very hard to implement as they are asking me to give up foods which I know that I will not be able to. What we need is a weight loss program which is actually fun to implement.

My name is Steve Hill. My own weight problems began when my parents decided to turn vegetarian. I was eleven years of age at the time and basically decided to give it a go as well. My mum cooked the meals you see.

This was twenty-one years ago
at this point there were not many different options of food for people who were vegetarians. I was not at all impressed with the food I was given and missed eating meat in a big way. I would normally be hungry after meals and would then start to eat snack type foods. I only gradually put on more weight and people did not really comment for a couple of years.

As soon as people did notice
it was like a vicious circle. They would taunt me at school
I would come home all depressed and would then comfort eat
to make myself feel better.

A few years ago I went about looking for ways to help me to lose weight. I tried many diets but without success. I have to say it was not that anything was wrong with the actual diet
it was that
that particular diet did not suit me.

I am the type of person who needs to enjoy something to keep my interest in it. This is why I found school a struggle. Well that is my excuse anyway.

The Fun Way To Lose Weight

On a Saturday night a few years ago
I went out for a few beers with a good friend of mine (Dave). We were having a good chat during which I told him about my mission to lose weight. I explained about how as yet
I had not found a suitable weight loss program.

Dave suggested that I should take up a sport
something competitive which I could get my teeth into. I thought about what he had said and agreed that this could be the way to go.

I asked him if he would like a game of tennis three or four times a week. Dave stated that this might be a bit much as he played six a side football twice a week.

He did not want to let me down however
and then asked if I would like to join his six a side team. I will give it a go
I replied.

I came home rather drunk
but also rather pleased with myself. I now had a weight loss plan which I was sure would work. There will be no quick fix
however this amount of exercise
over a sustained period of time
must have a positive affect on my weight
my fitness and my health.

With this program
I am also able to basically eat what I want
when I want.

It did take quite a while as I had predicted
to reach a weight I was happy with. This was not a problem however
as I was having fun on the way.

I continue to play not only tennis and football
but many sports. This is no longer to lose weight but because I enjoy it.
