Weight loss plan which does not include milkshakes!

I am somebody who has had an ongoing battle with my weight for
most of my life. I have to be very careful what I eat as I seem
to gain weight very easily. I have tried many diets, however I
wanted to find a way of losing weight without having to starve
myself or drink horrible milkshakes etc.

I have known and worked with many people and have been amazed at
how much they seem to be able to eat without getting fat. I am
sure I eat half as much as these people but am still twice their
size, it is not fair!

One day I decided I needed to find my own way of losing weight.
It was time to have a reality check and to be honest with
myself. I knew that in reality I do very little exercise, I like
all of the wrong types of food. I am a bit of a fast food
junkie, this is only because of my busy lifestyle . One of my
biggest problems though is that I like snack food, such as
peanuts, chocolate and crisps.

I know that most people would advise me to stop eating all fatty
type foods, especially the pizzas and chips. They would also no
doubt, advise me to join a gym and to go jogging every morning.
Get real! Those gyms are full of thin people, if I go jogging I
might get mugged, and I am sorry but life would not be worth
living without my weekly pizza!

I decided that what I would do is to basically eat a healthy
type breakfast which would be cerial or toast. I would have a
fairly light lunch, such as a sandwich, however for my evening
meal I could eat whatever I wanted. The main thing and most
difficult to implement would be the fact that I would be no
longer eating between meals. The snacks had to go!. I am not
trying to say that this was easy to do, however I had a need and
was determined to lose weight.

For exercise I decided to leave the car at home, wherever
possible, and walk to more places. I also started taking my
children to the park more often. At the park we would play games
such as football, cricket and baseball. It is amazing how much
weight you can lose by having fun.

These things in time helped me to lose a lot of my excess weight.
