Your
Weight Loss Problem: How-To Cure It By Watching Movies
Or Reading Books!
by: Beth Scott
I don’t know anything
about you but if you’re anything like me then you
struggle with a weight loss problem. Your weight loss
problem consists of you struggling to keep your weight
down or struggling to make your weight go down.
Most people who see me
wouldn’t believe that I have a weight loss problem, but
I do. I’ve battled bulimia and constant gains and losses
in weight, of ten pounds each time. Thats what I call a
big weight loss problem.
A lot of women and men
with the same or a similar weight loss problem would
sympathize with me I’m sure. I want to look good (who
doesn’t?) so that always motivates me to go on a diet.
But after sticking to a
diet for a week and dropping the unwanted weight my love
for good tasting food overpowers my need to feel
attractive and the weight piles back on pound by pound.
There is always exercise
to help with a weight loss problem, I remind myself as I
lie lazily on the couch chomping down on one of my
non-diet treats. “Sure!” I groan “I don’t feel like
wearing my butt out without seeing any results for weeks
at a time.”
Whenever I start a
workout regimen I only stick to it for a few weeks
(usually less) and then I get bored and drop it. So my
weight loss problem continues.
How many other women I
wondered (or men, for that matter) get bored while
exercising? I thought about that for awhile then I set
about to find a solution to help all those poor people
(and myself too, of course) with this weight loss
problem.
First I asked myself:
What did I like to do? What did I find Interesting?
“Hmmmm, well” I thought
“I like dancing, but long periods of it are exhausting.
I like to read, to listen to music, and I really dislike
being on my feet for over long periods of time.
What could possibly
combine all or most of these to make my exercising
interesting and help solve my weight loss problem?
The solution to my
weight loss problem was amazingly simple!
I own an old stationary
bike, and I do mean OLD, but the important thing is that
it operates. You can do this with any form of stationary
bike, whether it’s a twenty year old model or an up to
date model.
It doesn’t matter
whether you own the stationary bike or use a gym’s or
your local YMCA’s or YWCA’s facilities.
My weight loss problem
solution is this:
Find something
engrossing to read. It could be a novel or your favorite
magazine. Or listen to music that you enjoy, you could
even use audio books or any different CD’s or things you
could listen to.
I suppose if your bike
was somewhere around a television or computer with a DVD
player, you could even watch your favorite movie.
The next step is to
mount your stationary bide and start biking while
reading or doing any of the above listed activities, and
not to get off for at least 45 to 60 minutes, except for
an occasional rest every quarter of an hour.
I usually just keep
biking away the whole time and sometimes I bike longer
because I’m so engrossed in what I’m reading, and I
won’t allow myself to read it once I’m off the
stationary bike.
After a week of this,
without change in my eating habits, or any dieting, I’m
maintaining a healthy weight. Best of all I’m not
putting on any new pounds, and my legs look visibly
slimmer.
So I've kissed my weight
loss problem goodbye, and I'm saying hello to slim jeans
and size 6 dresses, and you can too.
For the first time in a
long while I actually look forward to putting on a
bikini ;-)
