If you've ever wondered what's different about thin people, it's not, really not, their metabolism or inefficient digestion, or anything else. Learn to recognise it, learn to welcome it, learn to ignore it. When I ate what I liked, I exercised plenty and I was fat.Ĭounting is too much hassle, but it helps make tradeoffs and avoid But don't use exercise as an alternative to eating less. Exercise plenty to enjoy your body, and control muscle-wasting.Īllow extra protein of exercise days. Exercise may be necessary but it is certainly not sufficient.I'd probably put boozing in here somewhere, except that I'd mostly stopped anyway.Stop making pasta, risotto, x on toast - all sorts of starch.Exchange porridge from the canteen for oatbran in yoghurt at home.Settle for two pieces of fruit with dinner.Give up second helpings and large portions.My list, not all at once but over the two years, looked something like: As and when needed, give up something else. Watch the graph to see if that starts to shift weight. You are gradually working your way down to the diet which will maintain the weight you want. Now, what do you actually do differently? Fat people have big muscles, from doing all that work, and it's worth trying to keep them. There is a risk of wasting your muscles: You lose weight, but it's not a good outcome. Toes, knees bends, sit-ups, press-ups, a dozen of each, weeknights and Is it growing (and above your target weight?) Then you need to review what you are doing and find some way to reduce your energy intake. Once or twice a week, at a fixed point in your routine - perhaps after the weekend - graph your weight.Even so there's not much to learn from daily weighings but you will see how your body responds to fibre or alcohol. That's when the figure is most repeatable. Weigh yourself every morning immediately after voiding your bladder.How do you eat on working days? How do you eat at the weekend? Middle of the 'healthy' region of the NHS chart. I was right: My face has aged ten years in the last three. I used the stairs, I walked, I used the public bikes, I swam a thousand metres twice a week.
There are some traditional reasons which didn't really work for me: I was becoming aware of fat as a constraint and a presence.I couldn't touch my toes, or put my shoes on without sitting down.I'm not sure if I snore at night now, and in fact I was never aware of sleeping badly, but it turns out that the meetings were just really dull. I was hoping that I could stop snoring at night, and in meetings.M&S have taken advantage of online shopping to stop carrying 44" waist trousers in the shops.Alongside that, I would like to live longer.Anaesthetic risk is not what it used to be, but if I need an op, I want to have it, and no excuses from the doctor! As I get older, I don't want to find that I've been de-prioritised for medical attention or processes because I'm too obese.
