Yes, you are reading right. The journey to weight loss can be lots of fun and if this sounds good to you please read on.
I have always been very slim both as a child and as an adult until I had my second child. I don't know about you but I never stopped when I was a child. I lived by the sea side and our house was so close to the beach that my mum only had to call me in through the window whenever lunch or dinner was ready. I spent most of my time playing with other kids on the beach, running around, playing games, etc. Just having lots of fun...
I was always tanned although I didn't sunbathe and I was so skinny you could count my ribs! I guess that when we grow up everything changes and we forget how easy it is to keep fit just by having fun and not giving it too much thought. When I grew up, I continued with a similar lifestyle where I was always busy going to places, playing sports (I used to love playing beach tennis), and swimming in the sea with my friends... Not just swimming, we used to do all sorts of silly things in the water, like somersaults underwater and things like that.
How could I not be so slim? Of course I was! I was constantly active and thinking what was I going to do next? I was also hungry all the time so I used to eat several times a day and I loved nuts so they were a big part of my daily food intake. I had the perfect diet I think but I will leave that to another article...
This is what we need to remember. I am not suggesting that everyone should look at when they were a child or a young adult in order to see how to lose weight now but in my experience there is no better and faster way to lose weight than to have fun whilst doing it. You have to agree, if you're doing something you enjoy, you will do it more often and for longer. For example, I hate running, especially if I have any wobbly bits to get rid of. Isn't it horrible to go jogging and feel everything in your body going up and down as you run? Lol
On the other hand, I love playing tennis and dancing. So much that although I know my wobbly bits must be going up and down I never think about it when I'm playing or dancing. I wouldn't care anyway as I would be having too much fun to be bothered.
Can you remember what you used to love doing when you were younger? Maybe climbing trees is not the best for you to do now but there are climbing centres if that is what you fancy! Or perhaps you enjoyed playing football. If so, you can try and join a local team or play with your kids. Dancing is also a great way to get fit whilst having fun and if you're single you can join a club and who knows if you'll meet your other half in there?
So, go ahead. Put your thinking caps on and find what type of activity used to take your fancy when you were younger and give it a go.
I promise there is no better and faster way to lose unwanted weight and keep you happy at the same time. Good luck!!
