I have been conscious of losing weight since i was 14 years old.
I began taking it seriously 4 years ago, joined a gym and tried everything from low fat, my doctor's advice, to Atkins.
2 years ago I started calorie counting and exercising 6 mornings a week. I lost 1 1/2 stone in the 1st month, and nothing else ever since. I started a journal here, brought my calorie consumption down to the point of starving- at one point i was in the gym twice a day. I am generally in at least 4 mornings a week running and doing some weights. I have persistently stuck to water, fruit, green tea, brown bread/rice, veg and all the other healthy stuff for a year now.
My brother turned from bullied fatboy to Greek God in one month. All he did was start running a few times a week. My 20st friend has dropped to 14st in 6 months. Some girl at work has dropped 3st in 2 months. All they did was change their diet.
I work out more than any of them have or did. I cannot keep persevering for much further without getting results. Everyone tells me something different: Metabolism. Calories. Carbs. Do long, low impact cardio. Do short, high impact cardio. Use Heavy weights. No, use light weights. I am tired. I don't know what advise to follow anymore...
I just want to lose this body fat like everyone else is. I just want to know the secret that they are hiding from me.
And then, one day i want to pass it on to others...
