Weight Loss Advice- Have You Ever Seen A Fat Postman?

This article is all about how to lose weight, I hope you find it
interesting to read and beneficial. I am somebody who has always
struggled to keep off the fat and who has tried many different
forms of diet.

>From about the age of twelve, I have had problems with my
weight. I have to be careful what I eat and I personally believe
I actually eat less than what other people do. One of the issues
I do have though is that I like the wrong types of food.
Vegetables, fruit, salad and pasta do not really do it for me,
where as fast foods such as pizza, chips and curry do.

Another one of my bad habits is that from the age of around
sixteen I started to get a taste and a liking for alcohol. I
have to admit that from this age I have always drank far too
much and far more than the average man. You may well be thinking
at this point that it is was no wonder that I have had problems
controlling my weight.

In my defence, I have had many confidence issues and suffered
with a low self-esteem for many years. This would cause me to
binge drink and comfort eat. When hungover I would eat copius
amounts of these fatty foods to make me feel better.

By the age of twenty-two I was basically very fat or obese. I
decided at this stage of my life to do something about this and
started looking into various forms of diet.

Maybe it is just me but these weight loss programs seemed very
harsh and very unrealistic. Drinking taste-less milkshakes four
times a day, eating five fruits a day and not being able to
drink alcohol, no thanks. Following these diets would make my
life not really worth living and I knew that I would not be able
to stick to them.

One morning I saw three different postmen delivering their
rounds. They were all quite thin, at a weight I would love to
be. Over the next few weeks I kept an eye out for other postmen
and realised that the ones I had observed were all thin. I
thought about why would this be, quite simply because they do a
lot of exercise via walking.

I sat myself down and started to think. I had to admit to myself
that I do very little exercise and I use my car to take me to
virtually every place I go.

The answer was quite simple, I need to, at times walk my
children to school, walk to my friends and in general ensure I
exercise far much more than I was.

This has, I am happy to report helped my tremendously and I now
have a weight I am happy with.
