How My Weight Loss Diet Changed My Life

No, this is not one of those juicy commercials meant to sell some product. I will just tell you about a man that used to lack self-confidence and was pretty much loosing everything because of that. I simply want to let the world know that weight problems do affect in serious ways the everyday life and the persons that we become. Even if there are happy fatties around, I was not one of them, probably because the fact that I was pretty fat was affecting every aspect of my personality. And because I’ve had my share of medical problems because of all that extra weight.
I am 31 and still have been experiencing hypertension for years, high cholesterol levels and even shortened breath sometimes. I used to smoke in my “youth” so I mostly blamed all these problems on that. I’ve never been a skinny child, but after I quit smoking 6 years ago I begun to gain more and more weight, until I reached a dangerous limit of 260 pounds. Because I’m a man, this might not seem like that much for some, but believe it is. Because I was eating wrongly and didn’t consider losing weight at no point, I was also having some problems with bone density, my bones are quite un-heavy compared to normal bone weight, all because of the fact that obese persons usually have problems with calcium absorption.
The thing that made me consider a weight loss diet was my fiancé. Two years ago, I was in danger of losing my job because of my extreme delay in finishing tasks. I am a graphical designer, so most of my work is sedentary, this also helped the gaining weight process. Over time, I begun to feel more and more tired and had trouble waking up in the morning, and staying at work for as long as I should’ve been. I was constantly on medical leave, as I wasn’t feeling up to the task of going to work and being creative once more. Live pretty much sucks when you are feeling sick and can’t quite put your finger on what’s wrong. This is when my fiancé thought she should jump in and help me. She moved in, and I didn’t even have to ask. She isn’t one of us, the persons with weight problems, but still she dedicated all her extra time to find out what was wrong with me, why was I feeling so tired. Even if she only browsed web pages and I was pretty unsure of the truth in things she was reading, she came to me with pretty sensitive approaches, and finally suggested a weight loss diet that she would also take, so I wouldn’t feel excluded. I stopped her of course, because she weighted merely 95 pounds. Why would she need to lose weight for ? She’s already thin enough.
She explained then that the thing she wants to suggest is not a real diet. I mean, if you are not having weight problems, you will not lose weight. And in the end, it’s all about calorie intake for specific weights. My body, being heavy and weighing many pounds needed much more calories than hers to maintain all the cells fed properly. If she was to eat as much as me, she would gain weight. So we needed a middle solution, which could maintain her weight and cause me to lose some. I was already thinking at water-like soups and days on end with troubling hunger sensations, and when she said the diet “will never end” and that it is a thing “to do forever”, I was already thinking of backing-up strategies.
So, my weight loss diet transformed into a life style over night. Based on her discoveries, she said we needed to wake up early mornings and start jogging before having any breakfast. No more late night work for me… I was hard, so we went and bought a puppy. The fact that it needed to be walked motivated us to wake up every morning. So, daily exercises were the first step.
Then, the actual weigh loss diet alimentary program begun. After trying several diets, we decided they were too restrictive to become a life long habit. I really don’t know how some people can survive on seeds and water… Finally, she was ready to give up the search when I weighted myself. Well, after two troubling months I was already 20 pounds down, and we hadn’t even chosen a diet yet. The exercises were the ones doing a good job. This is when we agreed that we don’t need to exclude aliments and to starve. We did manage to stop eating fat cheese and meat, and also to forget about sodas and cookies every night.
But in truth, my weight loss diet is just a healthy way of living. Eating correctly and counting calories proved a good thing if you are eating good quality calories. If I only eat fruits vegetables and fish I can consume huge food quantities every day…they are all low on calories. And if they are not cooked, it’s even better, because I feel more energetic.
