What was the motivating factor that got you started on your weight loss journey? Was it one thing or a series of events?
It was a series of events… but… It’s always “that last thing” that got me actually on the course to losing that 63lbs.
1) My grandson (6 years old) who I don’t see very typically (lives in England). When I saw him in March of 08 he asked me in all seriousness “Grandpa… why are you so fat?”. This opened my eyes to something that I had been ignoring…. and that was the impact that my health and fitness has on my own grandchildren. By the way I answered his very straight question with a straight answer “Because I eat too much”. I saw him in December of 08 – within a short while of him arriving at our house he said to me “Grandpa… you’re still eating too much aren’t you”. Arghh… the truthfulness of children!
2) In February of 09 I was attending a “personal development” seminar. It was a three month course (approx 1 night a week) and in that course we were asked to take on causing a “breakthrough” in an area of life that was important to us. My weight was an area of my life that I had never had any success in managing (ever since High school it was going in one direction only) so if I created a result with this I could definitely say that would be a “breakthrough”. over the years I had accumulated a lot of evidence that I could not truly impact this. I had tried various diets / fitness programs / personal trainers without really ever getting any long-term results. In the course we were specifically prompted to consider how we mostly go about trying to fix and change problems we have by trying more of what we already know what to do. In this area I had mostly “given up”. I was nearing 300 lbs and I was mostly ignoring my weight and the impact on me and my health. I am clear that I didn’t want all that extra weight… I just did not see how I could have any impact on it. During the course I suspended my disbelief and chose to take this area of my life on as something to work on during this seminar. The seminar focused on looking at the “unknown” for the solution.. more about this later. during those 3 months I lost my first 27 lbs. That was a breakthrough!
What do you think was the one most important change you made? how did it help? Can you keep this up for life?
The most important change is that I became “Present” to the food choices that I make that impact my weight. I pretty much used to just eat whatever the heck I wanted to without any regard for whether I was hungry. I am clear being “present” is what enables me to make responsible food choices… and there lies true power. On Feb 4th 2009 I chose to do something that I had never considered doing before… that was to say to myself “I am responsible for my own body”. That’s something I can maintain for the rest of my life.
How did you change your eating habits?
I joined Weight Watchers. This program provided me with a structure to track and manage what I was eating. I shared my progress with my pals and family and others at weight watchers. I posted progress on Facebook. I tracked my progress week-by-week. It was not a lightning fast result… but it was a steady drop in weight week after week. I found myself really enjoying the “science” of managing what I was eating. I love the fact that restaurants (most of them) now carry nutritional guides.
how did you change your exercise habits?
Up until very recently (last couple of weeks) I had not altered my exercise habits at all (I basically did nothing). I had always said to friends/family who were tracking my weight loss progress that I would be taking on exercise eventually – however it was pretty spectacular to me that I had lost all this weight without doing any of that. however we all know that health is about “eating right + exercise”. So – I’ve finally added that part of the equation. I started doing some brisk walking… and found that my “60lbs” lighter body actually likes the exercise. I am now following the “Couch 2 5K” program to support me in running my first 5K race. I used to be a cross-country runner when I was growing up in England. In just a few weeks of doing the c25k training I am now experiencing “my old self”… I have re-discovered the young athlete I used to be!이러한 건강한 습관을 어떻게 유지할 계획입니까?
글쎄, 나는 더 이상 내 자신의 체중을 관리 할 힘이 없다고 가정 할 수 없습니다. 자전거를 타는 것과 같습니다. 그것은 책에서 그것에 대해 읽어서 배우는 것이 아닙니다. 당신은 그것을해야 할 일을해야합니다. 균형을 잡는 순간이 있습니다. 균형이 없었던 순간… 그리고 균형을 잡은 순간은 더 이상 다시는 동일하지 않습니다. 그것이 내가 지금 내 체중에 대한 힘에 대해 느끼는 방식입니다. 다시 말해서… 나는 단순히이 분야에서 내 자신의 힘에 참석합니다. 나는 2009 년 2 월에 이것을 시작하기 전과 같은 사람이 아닙니다. 인생은 영원히 바뀌 었습니다. 6. 체중 감량을 원하는 사람을위한 조언이나 아이디어가 있습니까?
체중 감량을 할 수 없다는 것에 대한 모든 이유를 들어보십시오. 대부분의 이유는 우리가 식사에 대한 책임을 피하기 위해 우리 자신에게주는 변명입니다. 체중 감량을 원하는 사람에 대한 나의 생각은 단순히 당신 이이 문제를 핥을 힘이 있다는 것을 깨닫는 것입니다. 그냥“당신은 할 수 있습니다”. 당신이 어떻게하는지는 당신에게 달려 있습니다. 나는 Weight Watchers가 내가 어떻게 작동하는지 보는 데 도움이되는 프로그램이라는 것을 알았습니다. 그것은 당신이 취한 것일 수 있습니다. 그러나 그 이상은 단순히 과거에 실제로 해왔 던 일을 취하는 것입니다.
다른 것 ???
지난 8 년 동안 나는 수면 무호흡증을 앓고 있었는데, 수면 무호흡증은 밤에 CPAP 기계를 사용하여 잠을자는 동안 계속 호흡을 계속해야합니다. 나는 이것이 내 체중으로 인한 것이라고 들었고 체중 감량은 영향을 미치고 심지어 치료할 수도 있다고 들었습니다. 그 일이 일어났습니다. 더 이상 CPAP 머신을 사용할 필요가 없습니다.
이제 Liam은 그의 다음 큰 도전을 위해… 그에게 행운을 빌어주세요 !!
