!Hey, you there
Yes you, the one who is looking for a weight loss solution!
Why do you want to lose weight? There are a few reasons why people are seeking weight loss. But hang on, I have to clarify some myths:
1. You want to lose weight because people say you are fat.
2. You want to lose weight because you think you are fat.
No!
You shouldn't lose weight just because you were perceived as 'fat'! A
healthy weight is one that is maintained within the normal Body Mass
Index (BMI) range of 18.5 to 24.9! BMI is calculated by using your body
mass (kilograms) divided by the square of your height (meters). So if
your BMI is within the normal range, you should seek to tone your body
instead of losing weight!
For those who have a BMI of 25 or more, you should be looking to lose weight, because fit and healthy people are cool!
But first, you must ask yourself how did you gain all the weight in the first place? You like eating? So does everybody! Being able to eat your favourite food is probably one of the best feelings in the world! You get my drift.
And then you ask, "How can some of my friends who always eat all their favourite foods never be fat? It's not fair!"
Is it really not fair? Have you ever asked these people about their lifestyle? Do they exercise? If they do not exercise, what else do they do?
The reason why some people gain weight easily and others do not is the difference in our metabolism rate! Each and every one of our bodies are different, so our metabolism rate is also not the same. Your metabolism rate is affected by everything you do! From sleeping to even drumming your fingers on the table. The efficacy of your digestive system also accounts for your metabolism rate.
Now that you know a little bit more about weight gain, start to look back on your lifestyle. Have you previously lived a sedentary lifestyle? Would you rather wait 15 minutes for a 2-minute bus ride or just walk 15 minutes to the same destination? Walking is also a form of exercise in case you haven't realised. Exercise means to move. The key to lose weight is to move more! You can stop thinking about exercising if you don't like to exercise. Just think about moving more than you are doing now.
Without following an exercising routine, you can start off with these:
1. Take the stairs instead of the escalator or the elevator if you are not in any hurry.
2. Always walk to places within a 20-minute walking distance from your location instead of taking transport if you can spare the time.
3. Tidy up your house; doing housework whenever possible.
To some of you, taking these 3 simple steps may be compared to living in hell. To the rest of you, it may be a sudden realisation of how easy it is to 'exercise', to lose weight!
