Ok, Im not one of those people who have been skinny all there life and have no clue of how hard it is to loose weight, i've been down that road and I know how hard it is. I was 5'6, 200 pounds I was overweight. I loved to eat and eat and EAT. I didn't want to be fat anymore, I was tired of all the rude remarks I just didn't want to be fat anymore. Part of my problem was my eating habits. Here are some tips.
- Dont eat before bed, sleeping slows down digestion and you will put on wieght.
- Dont eat greesy food, McDonalds, Wendys, Sonics ect. DONT FAST FOOD! If you are at a fast food resturant, most places offer salads now get one of them instead of a big double cheese burger! BUT if you get a salad, eiter get a low-calorie dressing or dont put dressing on it all togeather! That innocent pack of dressing, ISN'T so innocent. If you empty the whole pack of dressing(not low-cal) onto the salad, it defeats the purpose of the salad and you might aswell have orederd a big double cheese burger!
- Subway can be your friend. Get one of those subs with 6 grams of fat or less, they taste great and they have 6 grams of FAT OR LESS!
- If you are not hungry DON'T EAT! Just becasue theres a nice bag of chips on the counter, you dont have to eat them!
- Eat at the proper times, dont snack in between meals! If your hungry, have an apple insead of the nice chips on the counter :)
Food wasn't my only problem, exersise was another big thing. Here are some exersise tips for people who don't have access to the gym.
- Push-ups
- Crunches
- Jumping-jacks
- Walking
- Jogging
Right now im 5'11 and I weight 155 pounds. I know how hard it can be, but I feel great right now and i'm nolonger the center of all the fat jokes, and that feels pretty good! And I still continue to eat healty foods, I didn't go back to my old habits.
