I think everyone hates dieting. The fact that you have to deprive yourself has never really attracted me. Due to the fact that I have started exercising, I thought that it was a good time to do something about my eating habits. If I was going to change one thing, I could just as well throw in something else then I get used to it at the same time.
I have been going through all the previous diets I have been on, and I remember the agony of each one. Ever since I was a young child my mother has always put me on diets. We also had a strict routine for exercise and at that time it didn't bother me at all. I was young and energetic and it was part of everyday life.
After I had my two sons I started to struggle to lose weight. It has never really bothered me and the only reason why I now want to lose weight is for myself. I'm turning fifty next year and I have set a goal for myself to lose most of the weight by then.
I am not in a hurry at all and prepared to do the work one day at a time, but to be honest I am just so confused. I have no idea way which way to go and google is not helping at all.
To me, a diet feels like being in jail. I don't want that. I am not prepared to go hungry for days on end and then not lose an ounce. I have tried intermittent fasting and that doesn't work for me. It's like my body knows that it's being starved and then it holds on to everything with a vengeance.
I have tried Keto for a while but due to a kidney issue, I stopped that.
The very popular 28 - day diet is not for me as they put in some very weird food combinations and I am quite picky when it comes to food.
I can name numerous diets I have been on, but then when I stop the weight just creeps back on.
The only thing that I am going to do now is to cut carbs and sugar and to eat a healthier plate of food. If this doesn't work then I am not supposed to be thin as a rake. At least I will be a healthier person.
