Special DIET and determination

I have maintain a perfect weight of 50kgs for almost 15yrs, whenever it goes up, l'll bring it down and if is below 50kgs, l'll bring it up without problem. But things were not the same when l got older, l have been putting on weight since 2007 when l survive a heart attack and quit smoking with healthy diet. My weight shot up quite fast to almost 57kgs with the height of 5fts, I really look awful, l try all ways and means to lose weight spending thousands of dollar on nutritious food, it only goes down for awhile and it got back again. I was really stress just by looking at myself in the mirror and couldn't believed that's me with bulging tummy resting on my dressing table. So l join the gym and started work out, l feel good but my weight don't seem to go down, and l really don't like the way l looked, the more l stress the more l put on, even though l watch diet, it get worse recently after mom pass away, l don't know why, can you imagine how stress l was? So one day l told myself l must have the determination, excercises and coordinated with a special diet for myself, l have a very full b/fast that consist of, cereal, blacksesame with walnut, pure black sesame and flaxseed drink together with 2 slices of whole meal break with cheese. Lunch and dinner l'll cooked vegetable stew with carrot, potatoes, tomatoes and big onions l'll put in fish and sometime chicken breast meats. An apple for teatime, sound boring right? But....l kind of enjoy the soup of stew. On top of this l'll go to the gym everyday to burn about 300 to 400 calories a day, l lost 3kgs in 18days, even though it is 3kgs which is not alot but l did it and is a good start, the determination to stayed on that diet for 18days is great, off cause.... l cheated some days but l was really very careful, if l ate something extra, l double my workout the following day. l feel good and will stop when l reaches my target of 51kgs. will tellyou more about the gym in my next entry, at the meantime wish me luck.

actually u don't hv to worry about the weight gain from gym training because it's muscle gain and not fat. n the more muscle u build the faster the burning of fat is. so don't always look at the kgs as a sign of losing weight. ur body itself is the best indicator but of course we always think that we are not lean enough. thus u shd ask somebody else's opinion
