My first step was to check my weight.
For years I had been putting on weight. Although I ran to the station, and walked around shopping malls.
What changed?
Covid-19
Dangers were being older or overweight. I could not get younger. I could lose weight.
I had been eating at meetings: buns, pizzas, and chocolates.
I was helped by more meetings online.
My rules
Breakfast
Fruit
Seeds
Yogurt
Oats or Weetabix
What I cut out
Sugar - in coffee
No alcohol
No sweetened drinks
No Seconds (Later only half portions)
Exercise
Swimming/walking/exercising in bed
Keep moving - when waiting for the lift, walk backwards and forwards
When sitting waiting, repeatedly lift feet off the floor, click heels together
Exercise two limbs rather than one, four rather than two
Start exercise slowly so it is easy, and increase a little every day
Don't consider whether or not to swim or go for a walk; always start with at least the minimum. Often, despite feeling tired, bored, stressed, you find that, after starting, you end up finishing.
If you don't finish the exercise routine, never mind. Anything is better than nothing.
Keep a record of weight loss. You might not lose every day. Food take a long journey around your intstines before it gets out.
