Easy Weight Loss for Men

Easy Weight Loss for Men from my Blog

It took me 60 years to figure out that life is not a race to the finish line. I've always been after the elusive goal of accomplishment, often at the expense of my health and the people I love. These are not the "I wish I had done things differently" musings of age. They are the simple truths that accompany change.

Changes that can happen when you let go.

This is not a platform to bare my soul and confess my sins. It's a very neat opportunity to post about changes that can happen when you let go of ingrained habits. It's about weight loss for men and allowing yourself a chance to be the person you'd like to be. It's on dealing with issues we men have. It's from the heart, and I hope you can relate to it. I've got a website that you really need to visit, if you're serious. It's Lose Weight-BeHealthy. I think you'll like it!

Criticism of my body shape.

I've always had a problem with my weight and I think that was a contributing factor to the way I acted. I think I wanted to deflect any criticism of my body shape by overachieving in other areas. I was obsessed by being "a winner"! It didn't matter if it was Trivial Pursuit or business success, I was going to win at all costs. Each year, I'd start a new physical regime of weight loss for men that would make me "good looking". I think I realized that I didn't like my lifestyle much. Weight loss would be the magic bullet that would allow me to let go and change in other areas of my life. I really couldn't put my finger on what those changes might be, but feeling better about my weight might be the catalyst for change.

I deserved a break.

Well, until a few years ago, I couldn't get there. I tried every diet my wife could come up with and was miserable. I ran every day until I blew the cartilage in my ankle. I'd drop 20-25 pounds and celebrate by starting to sneak a few cookies every day and a bowl of ice cream once in a while. After all, I made my goal and deserved a little break from the routine. GOTCHA! After a while, I was right back to where I was and more unhappy with myself than ever. I worked harder at being an achiever, so that I could be proud of something...because I sure wasn't proud of backsliding on my weight.

I love feeling fit.

A few years ago, I had some health problems that forced me to re-think my lifestyle. I knew I had to reinvent myself or slowly slip into a place where I couldn't return. I love my wife of 41 years, my kids, grandkids, dog and family. I'd always loved being able to do active things. I love feeling fit and finding joy in each day. What do these things have in common with weight loss for men? I also love food!

Men have egos.

Just how in the heck was I going to take all these elements and reinvent myself? The first thing I did was study some human behavior issues to see why I was always battling myself. That was the greatest thing I've ever done for myself. From there, I started to slowly research health, weight loss for men and male self esteem. I don't know whether it's easier for a woman to admit she has issues and do something positive about it. But, I do know that weight loss for men is very tricky to deal with. Most of us men have egos that don't allow us to admit we're not as strong as we act. I think we males need to be allowed the space to investigate the right way to lose weight and keep it off. That way we can blame it on something else. "It must have been the formula we're using, because it sure couldn't be a lack of control."

Pass the Thousand Island, please.

I have been reinventing myself for a few years and it feels good. I don't have to give up things I like. I don't have to listen to little jabs from anyone about whether I should be putting thousand island dressing on my salad. I have changed and I like it. I can still enjoy things in moderation. I can still use thousand island, too! I've found a very good program. It's not just about weight loss for men. It's about attitude and ways to help you find a program that works for you. You may just need a quick weight loss tuneup, or a critical long term health program.

I feel great about myself, my love life has improved and my joy with all the little things in life has returned. I hope this happens to you.
Change your life, as I've changed mine!
