I wrote an article www.TheNaturalRoad.com and it’s about sugar and how much people are eating these days. In the 1700’s people eat 4 pounds of sugar a year. Now in the 2011 people eat around 180 pounds a year. When I found that out I was amazed!! But then again I can’t say I’m surprise by that.
Over this lasted year I have gained more weight then I have ever had. I have to say I was up to 153 pounds. For a few reasons…
- I wasn’t weighing my self on a scale.
- I had gone back to drinking cokes… A LOT of cokes.
- I was eating more junk food then I care to admit to.
- Of course having a lot of carbs and eating LARGE amounts of food.
- Not eating slowly.
I was busting out of my clothes. So I needed to do something about it. So I had gone on a diet and have lost 17 pounds and need to lose about 16 more. Now how have I losted the weight? Well I went on a low calorie diet and cut out all sugars and carbs. I had current foods for 4 weeks. Now I’m on a less restricted diet. Which is more like a low carb diet for a while. I will be going back on this diet soon, as I plan on losing the rest of this weight.
I don’t plan on getting my weight that high again. When I get down to the weight I want to be at, I plan on staying there. How I’m going to do this? Well I plan on changing the way I eat. Most people call this a Way Of Eating for the rest of your life. Plus I will check my weight daily.
For the reasons why my weight got out of hand was for many reasons.
- Not caring what I eat.
- Not weighing my self.
- Not drinking water.
By solving those 3 things I can take control of my weight. Its just making a decision to do so. I’m at 137 now. In a few months I hope to be down to around 123 and stay there for a Year! With caring about what I eat, weighting my self, & drinking more water I will not gain the weight again. That is my goal for this year…
