Let's face it, I am overweight. No matter what I try to do, my weight seems happy just where it is. I am not a diet fanatic so I eat whatever comes my way without counting the calories.
But, I have noticed that I get tired so quickly and walking a short distance gets me breathless to the extent that I have to stop to catch my breath then proceed. So now, I have decided to do something about my weight. Nothing drastic.
I am starting by cutting down on chocolate, meat, biscuits, cakes, crisps and too many snacks.
I am finally starting to eat 5-a-day of vegetables and fruits...a bit too late to start, but my philosophy is simple, better late than never. And I actually feel so much better, lighter, less sleepy and more energised. I am also drinking loads of fluid, water, juice and herbal teas.
I am also cutting down on dairy products, starting with no milk in my tea. Hopefully gradually cutting down on stuff will lessen withdrawal symptoms.
Wish me luck.
