How To Lose Weight Successfully

Healthy WeightI have had a constant battle to control my own weight over the last ten years and now believe that there are three possible options. In this article I will be writing about these options, I hope they are as beneficial to you as they have been to me.
I have now managed to sort out my own weight issues and am finally at a weight that I am happy and comfortable with. It was certainly not easy to attain, however hard work has paid off for me. Life has never been so good and my confidence has never been higher.
I had had enough of the types of diet that proved virtually impossible to stick to, I was fed up with the crash dieting which would always lead to my weight going up and down like a yo yo.

These are what I believe are the three weight loss options for people like myself:


1. Eating less food with no extra exercise
I was never a major one for exercise. The mere thought of exercising would make me sweat. I made up many an excuse, I did not go jogging as I believed it was bad for my knees!
I therefore decided that the only way that I could lose weight was by cutting down on my food intake.

2. A lot more exercise whilst eating the same amount of food
The problem with option number one is the fact that I love my food. To cut down on what I eat would make life hardly worth living. For me to lose weight, I would therefore have to start an exercise program, such as using a rowing machine or an exercise bike.

3. A lot more exercise and a lot less food
I tried option one and option two and was lets say rather unsuccessful. Others may have the discipline to make these options work, I did not.
At the end of the day it boils down to how much I wanted to lose the weight. I wanted to lose weight in a big way and the only way I would succeed was to sacrifice a number of food items and to exercise.
After doing this for about five months, the results were superb, I was finally at my target weight, boy was I proud of myself and went and ate a chocolate eclair to celebrate.
