How to Lose Weight in a Month
Recommended Answer:
1. What was your diet like before losing weight?-- It was horrible. I ate a lot of carbs, pastries, and meats, and I would have big meals and snack in between them all. If I was offered food I took it. If I saw food I ate it. If I wasn't sleeping or working, chances are I was eating.2. When did you decide to lose weight?-- I decided to lose weight once I hit 327 pounds. It was the start of a new year and I figured that if I was ever going to go on a diet, there'd be no better time than then.3. Was there an 'enough is enough' moment?-- Yes. I got sick of being the biggest one in the room everywhere I went. I got sick of people judging me because of my weight. I got sick of my weight being the first thing people noticed about me. I got sick of hearing doctors warn me about the dangers of being obese. I got sick of the insults and comments. I got sick and tired of being the fat guy, and it just got to the point where enough was enough.4. Was it hard eating healthier at first?-- Yes. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done.5. What was your goal?-- My goal was to lose around a hundred pounds.6. Did you relapse or do you have an iron will?-- I haven't had the chance to relapse yet, but I'm sure I'll gain some of the weight back. It's hard to resist the temptations -- especially since I've been under a lot of stress lately -- and I'm sure once I let up a little bit the weight will pile on again. I'll do my best to keep it at a reasonable number, but I'm only human.7. How often do you weigh yourself?-- I weigh myself once a week.8. What was the most and least you lost in a week?-- I remember losing twelve pounds in one week in the beginning, but as time went on I started losing less weight per week until a few weeks ago I plateaued. Now I'm just trying to maintain my weight.9. Did you miss junk food?-- I went to bed dreaming about junk food for the longest time. I don't miss as much nowadays, but I still crave it now and then.10. What have been the benefits of losing weight?-- I'm able to find clothes that fit me. I don't have to avoid amusement parks out of fear of what the weight limits for the rides are. I'm not embarrassed to go swimming or go to the beach. I don't have to squeeze into restaurant booths. I'm not the butt of every fat joke people make. I look good.11. Looking back on your old self, what do you understand about how you used to be?-- I see now that I was addicted to food, to eating, and that I didn't know much about moderation or proportions or self-control. I also see that I was not just an overeater, but an emotional eater as well.12. What has changed, mentally?-- I'm more confident nowadays. I don't see myself as inferior to anyone else like I did back when I was heavier than everyone I knew.
