A few tips from my side: üü Find a photo of yourself where you looked your best, and work towards that. üü Be more aware when you make food choices. Cut out all white breads, pasta and rice, and eat protein with every meal (it helps to build muscle). üü Never shop when you are hungry and always have some biltong or nuts in the car to avoid the impulse to grab a fatty take-away. üü Cut out any starchy foods after 15h00, but do eat some at breakfast and lunch, as this is your source of energy (oats, wholegrain bread, sweet potato or brown rice). üü Drink enough water and avoid sugary drinks. üü Before going out to lunch or dinner at a restaurant, first eat something healthy at home in order to avoid overindulgence. üü Choose an exercise that you enjoy and book time for yourself to do this chosen exercise at least three times a week for an hour. üü If you do not enjoy training on your own, join a group or get a personal trainer. üü Push through the winter months! üü Be patient! If it was so easy to lose weight, everyone would be skinny. weekend, without feeling guilty afterwards. On the journey to your goal weight, life goes on and you cannot hide in the closet and decline invites to social events simply because you are on a diet. Your husband/wife loves you for who you are, so do not spoil special moments because you feel fat– you never know when you will be making your last memories together. There are many professionals who can assess and help you to achieve a realistic goal. While you are on your way to a healthier, better looking you, you can still enjoy everyday life. Of course you will have to make certain sacrifices, but not to the extent that it makes you unhappy.
