I have attempted (the word "attempted" used loosely) at least ten different diet fads ( my particular favorite was the eating every 4 hours one, Heavenly pleasure!!). Invented a few and still i always seem to add more and more weight. I've tried exercising everyday. P90X and morning runs. So why are there no results? simple! I get bored easily. This is no joke. My attention span is like that of an infant. I'm asleep and i wake up at 3am feeling bored with sleep. In fact, my default state of mind is extreme boredom. oh and i just LOVE food. I don't necessarily eat too much. i just love the way its made, the way it looks and of course the taste. I'm very adventurous with food. i will eat any and everything in the world. OK, maybe except snakes and cats and rat and dogs and bitter stuff and chocolate..... Oh yeah, I absolutely despise chocolate.
Anyhu, long story short, I have decided to try again to lose....WAIT FOR IT.... 15kg. Yes, i am overweight. I can't wear a bikini without feeling guilty that I'm abusing the basic human rights of the people around. Imagine seeing a 15kg overweight person in a tini tiny bikini(the type that consists mainly of thin strings of rope.) prancing down the beach with bits of flesh hanging lose everywhere. Yep! not a pretty sight. I don't want to get sued.
I'm going back to the "eating small meals every 4 hours" diet. Well, i'm going to try and not abuse it this time :( . My first attempt was a joke. I ate like my life depended on it. My "small" meals could have fed a small village. See? absolutely no discipline. This time will be different though. No fatty foods, reduced carbs, more water, green vegetables and no food after 6:30pm.
Basically, my day will start with two glasses of water, fruit (an apple and banana) and a glass of milk
and ends with green vegetables and a tiny bit of protein. I'm eliminating rice, bread, pasta and all processed food. I do have a free day though. I chose Saturdays. My main challenge will be in the portion sizes. I hate the feeling of hunger. It makes me sad. I need to overcome that.
For exercise, i'll be using the P90X Lean videos and schedules. Its a bit daunting. Especially, since the first workout is core synergistic. The first time i tried that, I was paralyzed for two whole weeks. I had to really consider every option before changing positions in bed. My muscles hated me.
The only thing missing is a good support system. The people around me are not supportive at all. They say things like, "its in your genes and you can't change who you are". I think they are wrong. I would love an environment where people don't expect you to fail. Any advice anyone?
