How To Lose Weight Without Starving

I am a person who has seemingly struggled with my weight for the majority of my life. I must admit that I was basically fat up until a few years ago.I then realised that I needed to lose weight if I was ever to become contented and to also help increase my self-esteem; I then started to think about the best way to lose weight for a person like myself.

I was a person that had quite a lot of stress in my life due to the fact that I had three jobs; one selling composite doors for a composite door company, another advising people about fostering and the other was to do with providing a professional DVD authoring service. All of the stress would cause me to comfort eat.

I considered and read about lots of weight loss programs but eventually decided that I needed my own form of diet.

I love my food; especially all of the types of food which are what put the weight on. I could not really face stopping myself from eating these foods and therefore this was my weight loss strategy

I was very much aware of the importance of eating breakfast and would eat either cerial or toast in the morning. I would have a fairly light lunch, such as a sandwich, however for my evening meal I decided that I could eat whatever I wanted. The main thing and most difficult to implement would be the fact that I could no longer eat between meals. The snacks had to go!. It was not all plain sailing, of course. I was however more than willing to work hard to achieve my goals as I was very determined to reach my ideal weight.

I realised that I could do with walking more and for this reason I started to leave the car and would travel by foot to most destinations; as long as they were local of course. Another new idea which worked really well was taking my kids to the park on a much more regular basis. I would play various spors in the park including tennis, cricket, soccer and basketball. It is amazing how much weight you can lose by having fun.
