I need some help. I looked in the mirror and my clothes don’t seem to fit anymore. I am not allowed to sit on certain chairs because they cannot support me. I spend way too much money on food. This has all been created because I weigh to much, but I have to change the way I look now. I’m just not sure how I can accomplish this daunting feat.
Before I had figured out what I should do, I caught the program called the Biggest Loser which was about people who needed to lose weight. I went online and found out that the show had a website that included a link to the biggest loser forum where there were all sorts of helpful hints, tools and chat rooms that are dedicated to helping people lose weight. I felt better knowing that I was not alone in my desire to lose weight. When you don’t have to face the prospect of losing weight alone, it is a much less daunting task. That took care of part one when I had some plans about how to reach my goal.
I then decided that I had to set some specific goals. I was more than two hundred pounds overweight and needed to correct it now. I knew that I had to learn how to lose weight fastbecause my health was in danger and if I did not act quickly, I might not get another chance to succeed, and like the people on the show I had watched, I decided that I could lose more than ten pounds a week if I worked hard enough. I realized that this would take a lot of time and effort, and I was ready to do it.
I could not achieve the results by myself, I knew that I wouldn’t succeed by doing a handful of six pack ab exercises in the comfort of my own home whenever I could find the time to do it, and I wanted some professional help. I got myself motivated and worked my way out to a fitness club. The fitness club had all of the equipment and a personal trainer to assist me. Some friends suggested that I go and get a physical before I started a fitness program. My doctor put me on a diet that would help me lose the weight. My personal trainer gave me an exercise plan to follow. The weight loss program has started.
I dedicated all of my time to reaching my goal of losing weight. I didn’t allow any distractions into my life. All of the effort started to pay off. My waistline was shrinking. I lost ten pounds a week for the first few weeks. Suddenly the weight loss stopped and I couldn’t figure out what was going on. My physician let me know that this happens from time to time and it is nothing that I should be concerned about. I listened to my friends and family and stuck with it. The diet and exercise eventually began to work again. My self image was back up again because I didn’t give up.
Over the course of the next eight months, I lost a total of one hundred and eighty five pounds. It has been very difficult, but I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. Losing the weight has allowed me to do things I haven’ done since I was a teenager. I am well respected at my gym for what I have accomplished. I have a new outlook on the future and I look forward to looking at myself in the mirror every day. I don’t want to return to the way I was, but just dropping the pounds is not the thing I am most proud of. The greatest benefit is the improvement of my own self image. I could not get that for any amount of money.
