Trouble keeping weight off
I’m having a terrible time with my diet. Sometimes I eat all of the wrong things and then I force myself to work out harder. I love to eat and I’m a very good cook, but I hate being fat. The older I get, the harder it is to lose the weight.
Unless you have a disease, a legitimate eating disorder (hormones, glands, intestinal), there’s no problem here. Being lodged under a 16-wheeler is a problem; the love of your life walked out on you is a problem; lymphoma is a problem.
Training is hard work… takes commitment, time and energy and endurance and know-how and equipment.
Eating right is simply eating right: No big skill, talent, knowledge, effort or mystery. Hand-holding is for kids and the lost.
You need to meditate on self-discipline, personal responsibility and self-respect. Reread that one: What you ingest can be controlled by you, unless you live in a village in Nigeria or Somalia or Ecuador.
I’m sure you have a weight goal in mind and can apply visualizing, imagining, practices. Start today, now… not tomorrow. Small hint: high protein (fish, poultry, then meat and eggs, less dairy), low fat and low carbs of the good variety.
