Earlier today I shared a little of my weight loss journey about why it happened. Now I am sharing the five reasons on what I have done it and why I have succeeded. (From more determinant to least.) 1. Accountability I am a deadline person. Give me a deadline and I will deliver, give me all the time in the world and I will never do it. This is why having monitoring appointments with the specialist has made my weight loss possible.

He is like this funny grumpy old respectable teacher that you both love and fear and that you do not want to disappoint. He gave the orders to maintain a food diary in which to write everything that I ate, which I did.

It made certain decisions on whether to eat something or not much more simple. I know that without this one single reason I would have not lost a single gram.

Because I was well aware all the other reasons bellow before I step inside his room. 2. Affinity with the diet guidelines This may not seem that important, but for me it was. You see if you are going to be dieting long term - to me anything more than a week feels like longterm dieting!

- you need to feel that you are going to be able to eat/do things that you really enjoy even if they are in moderation and/or small portions. If someone had told me you can't eat any type of bread or starchy carbs at all, as well as not being able to eat any chocolate, cheese, seafood (high cholesterol!). Until you reach your target, I would have not been able to do it. I needed a well balanced diet that allowed me to look forward when I would be able to indulge.

All with good measure and The diet guidelines were simple enough: a low fat 1000 calories a day: • 4 small servings of starchy carbs - of varying sizes depending on their calories/sugar content, ideally wholegrain; • 3 pieces of fruit; • two weight restricted protein servings; • as much vegetables as I wanted. • Cheat foods one portion every 15 days of one of the following: chocolate, cheese, prawns or other shell seafood or avocado. (I hate avocado so no worries there!, but choosing between the other three was hard.) I always have loved raw carrots and salads, so I always have bags of carrot batons and salad ready in the bridge. I kept the cooking as simple as possible, thinking about ways of cooking things may work for some but for me makes me want more the stuff I cant have.

Simple and quick works for me, the less time dedicated to food, the less it is important. The same with exercise.

I hate gyms, I hate swimming, I hate running and walking. Ninja Blade Save Game File Download. What I like is dancing.

So Zumba looked like a good idea. And it was, I love it. I was lucky that I found a local instructor - - who not only is very good at it but also is a lovely encouraging woman. Even more lucky was to have a friend - the lovely Sarah Mcgrath - who also wanted to do it and together it was so much easier those first few weeks of Zumba.
