My attempt to lose weight

I was a very thin child. Everyone from my school and college remembers me as a thin and very naughty child/teenager. After I started working the combination of the junk food and the lack of physical activity helped me put on weight. In the beginning I thought I looked cute and a little fuller. But I never realised where I was heading. I started gaining weight slowly and steadily. My jeans no longer fitted me and I attributed it to the fact that the jeans could have shrunk. I could only climb one flight of stairs without panting but that according to me was because the stairs were too high and I was very weak!! It took a lot of courage and strength for me to admit that I needed to shed weight and I needed to do it fast!!
I started reading about the ways of losing weight on google. Man were there ways! There were so many ways and for each way there were pros and cons. I decided to diet first. I stopped eating breakfast and lunch. I however would eat dinner and because I would not have had breakfast or lunch I would be so hungry by dinner time that I would stuff myself. After a week I had gained some more weight and was desperate. I then decided to exercise. I started walking and using the stairs instead of the lift. I made just one mistake. Instead of building up my rhythm slowly I rushed it. I started walking too much...more than my poor lega could take. This went on until my body refused to cooperate. I fell ill. The illness was backache :(. I could not sit straight due to the severe strain that I had out my body through. I had lost weight, in fact a lot of it. One week's leave from work and rest restored my strength and my WEIGHT. I was so depressed by then that I gave up. I started eating all the delicacies that I had been avoiding until then and stopped bothering about losing weight.
I guess my attempt to lose weight will have to wait.

Hello,
dont rush, best way to loose extra pounds will be taking food in intervals as many as possible with proper breaks. I mean u can have what ever u want just that u need to make sure u feel hungry before having anything,
for this u might need a little workout, in general a brisk walk will do. This doesn't mean to run like a Firefighter through stairs. :)
all the best. stay healthy. bye tc
