While you may regret the pounds you put on at Christmas and the New Year celebrations
and weight loss resolutions you made and have already broken, remember that Christmas time is here again in December and that means food, food and more food. It's probably the most fattening time of the year. Just because Father Christmas is a blob doesn't mean you have to be. What you can do now is lose weight before next Christmas and keep it off. You can go on a diet or you can simply eat properly or you can do both. Personally I favour both. Firstly you go on a diet of your choice and lose as many pounds or kilos as you can.There are various diets to choose from and some are recommended on my blog. Now comes the important part. When you've achieved your weight loss target you stop dieting and start eating properly which means eating healthy less fattening foods than you used to. It also means using some common sense. If you monitor your intake you are sure to maintain your weight loss, especially if you avoid fats, sugar and soft drinks. When you get used to proper eating it can bring a permanent change to your lifestyle and your attitude to food and health. You will have more energy and feel happier. You may even continue to lose weight. By the time Christmas comes around again you could be a different person, as well as a different size. Maybe Santa will take a tip from you and also try to lose weight, something his reindeer might appreciate.
