On a Saturday night a few years ago, I went out for a few beers with a good friend of mine (Dave). Dave is a partner in a composite door company where he sells among other things external doors, and is a person who I have always admired. 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.
I had been overweight for the majority of my life and I blamed it on the fact that I had a stuttering problem. I would become depressed at the lack of quality stuttering therapy that was available at the time and I would then comfort eat. 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 try my very best, I confirmed.
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.
My confidence has now taken off and I am now a much more successful business where I now work for a business cost reduction specialist.
I am sure that you can also reach your ideal weight with a positive attitude.
