The Dieting Dilemma
I have grown heavier and heavier over the past 6 months. Last January, I think my weight was around 175 pounds. Now I'm up to 200 pounds, a 25 pound increase. My waist size has of course grown bigger as well. Most of my pants don't fit anymore. And I can't wear half of my shirts either. So what's a fat guy to do? Diet of course. However, it's not really that simple for me. Dieting involves willpower and discipline. Unfortunately, I have neither.
I am an overeater, that's a fact. In the office when my friend asks me to go have dinner with her, I immediately consent to it even if I am not hungry. And when she does not finish her meal, I finish it for her. Then when I get home, I fry something and eat that together with heaps of rice. And I try to cram as much donuts as I could in-between meals. Well the donut part is not exactly true but I've been having lots of sweets lately. No wonder I am ballooning.
Obviously the source of my overweight problem is my overeating tendencies, which of course I need to control. But as I have said, I have no willpower and discipline, therefore no control. And I have read before that there are people who are emotional overeaters. Am I one of those people? I certainly am emotional, I just don't know if that's the reason why I overeat. But I've been thinking about this. I could rein in my eating habits. I even have a plan: buy lots of tuna and whole wheat bread and that's what I'm going to eat from Monday until Friday. Then I can eat other foods during the weekends.
Maybe exercise can be another way out of this problem. If I am not able to stop taking in the calories, then I'll just burn all of them right off. In fact, I've been planning to join Fitness First or some other gym for quite some time now. I even have a schedule planned for when I can go to the gym: wake up at 9, get out of the house by 10, arrive at Makati at around 11-11:30 and start working out! Then by 12:30, I'll be finished working out already so I can then shower, get dressed, then be in the office by 1! If only the monthly dues aren't that expensive, I would've signed up already.
Oh jeez... Excuses, excuses. Maybe that's my real problem.
