Since I was misslead for so many years in eating wrongly, I am now dealing with a lot of problems caused by my weight. A few month ago I decided to try the weight loss excercises and then to focus on building the adbdomen I’ve always dreamt of. I realized that doing that will not be an easy task, especially when I was aware that I would get dangerously tired after 5 minutes of movement.

I am also strongly against steroids and substances like that, which are supposed to help us get muscles. People today try to gain a great body structure by exercising wrongly and easting up all types of steroids, without considering the effects. Just because some understand the entire concept wrong, this does not mean you should stop jogging or eating fat-free diets, it just means you should make sure you are in a optimal condition for starting a training session.

For those persons that are very fat indeed, then some weight must be dropped before even considering a six pack abdomen. Trying starving diets that have no beneficial effects will not have the expected result. Many people who try to get rid of the fat are considering fat and meat free meals, or even vegetarian diets. If you do this, you will be in fact affecting the quality and amount of muscles on your body. Healthy muscles using proteins and fat acids to sustain themselves. Whenever your diet is scarce in these, it will turn to muscles to make up the lack. In less words, it all means that when you eat low or no fat and meat, the muscular tissue situated beneath our skin level will start gradually decreasing in size, and we might not even notice it.

Because I am overweight, I;ve always had trouble with both weight loss excercise and now I was very scared of not becoming ill if I decide to go to a gym and start training for a nice abdomen. I continued to study my condtion, as I felt that it is not normal not to feel able to do basic excercises, especially when you are a man.

The process of starting a training for six pack abs at optimal weight is realitive. In some cases a few lines on the scale are enough. Other people can’t see the muscular effect of training because of the abdomen fat. This is part of the reason they will try to lose a bit extra weight before training. In fact, you don’t have a fat limit to pass to go to the gym. The only thing you have to do is find and maintain your ideal weight. People who still have many extra pounds will encounter great difficulties when making a sport. These persons will not only feel tried too soon, but will also have heart and lung problems during sessions. The fat that is situated onto internal organs and on blood vessels can be minimized with normal diets, that offer the daily amount of proteins and vitamins we need, and with short walks, that can be increased in distance daily.

I decided to start a training class as soon as possible and I starting going there for at least half hour every day, without fearing tiredness. After a few weeks, I was able to advance to harder fitness machines or to body building weights. The truth about weight loss expecises and abdoment building in people who have accumulated too much fat relies on slow movement and late results, that will be as good as expected. I havea learnt that trying to build a nice looking stomach without actually focusing on the weight loss idea constitutes indeed a good weight loss excercise. And because I was motivated by this, since all my friends constantly bragged about how nice their abs are and how much they work out, I was realy easy and fun to lose weight this way. I don’t have yet the irreprosable six pack abdomes, but at least I’m not ahamed anymore that instead of muscles I’m showing fat on my abs.

Well, I must admit, I’m a perfectionist… Is this a defect or a quality? It depends on who’s asking…they say there are no uncomfortable questions, but only uncomfortable answers. So, I’ll give the first answer.

When I was a child I used to be very selective when it came to making friends, to places I liked to spend time in and to activities I choose to take part in. This helped me in life, so in this situation perfectionism proved to be beneficial.

At some point, there comes a period in any woman’s life when the presence of a child is needed. This is a reason of joy, of course. Of happiness, even if you are not a perfectionist. In other words, it depends how quickly you deal with the fact that your physical image doesn’t correspond to standards anymore. At this point, perfectionism becomes harmful. In my case, it caused a serious depression. I was angry at myself, not at others, and I though the whole thing is my fault, because I had to be a perfectionist.

It took me a while to understand that being perfectionist doesn’t be you have to be perfect. It only means you will do your best to get things as close to perfection as humanly possible. And I looked at the surplus weight I’ve gained during my motherhood so far, and then decided to return to my perfectionism times and do everything humanly possible to get rid of those pounds.

I took baby steps in my diet, right about the time my daughter started taking her first baby steps…a quite happy coincidence. So, I didn’t try anything radical. Being a perfectionist, I’ve done my homework right before throwing myself into anything. SO, I found out that restrictive diets harm the metabolism, that avoiding proteins only loosens muscles and starving the body will cause it to retain extra fats when the diet is over. I’ve also learnt about the importance of exercises, but I was already jogging and walking a lot each day, so I was aware of that.

Instead of eating sweets I decided to eat fruits. That didn’t work that well, so I changed tactics. I allowed myself any sweet desert, but I though of how much of that I would regularly eat, then took only a third of it. I did the same with fat meat, and then replaced the remaining lacks in alimentation with raw fruits, vegetables, seeds and fish meat or cereal bowls. I wasn’t missing anything important, and I was allowing myself to consume stuff I loved and yearned for, but in smaller quantities. So once again, perfectionism helped me in my search for ways of regaining my initial weight. I am pleased to say that I’ve found them…but one of them is respecting the 8 hour sleeping program, so I’ll see you with another occasion!
