So after indulging in your favorite pastimes- food for years and years together without any modicum of guilt, you are faced with not so good predicament- your over bulging stomach and back and general feeling of uneasiness which is so evident the way you walk and carry yourself. Now the whole life story is facing you and you are wondering where you went wrong. What did you do to deserve that extra pounds and a double chin. You were so smart in your college days. Remember that stolen looks the beautiful pretty young thing had of you when you were attending that boring college lecture. But all that was may be 10 years and 30 to 40 pounds earlier. Well well well. Enough of nostalgia and welcome back to the real world. While you may not go back to 10 years back, you may certainly go back to 30 pounds less when you used to feel lean and mean.

If you want to do that, following is the way for you:
1. Remember that realization that you are over weight is only the first step towards achieving the ultimate goal of shedding those extra kilos. So the earlier the realization, the better for you.
2. Follow a well disciplined life style and exercise regime. Devote at least 45 minutes to 1 hour a day to hit the gym or simply to hit the road. It is not asking too much for something as precious as your life. Do weights if you do not have any other complications. Also do cardio vascular exercises to help tone up body and muscles and help your heart also.
3. Avoid cakes, pastries, biscuits, patties, pizzas, burgers and colas. They are the biggest contributors to weight gains.
4. Do not starve your self under any circumstances. If you starve yourself, there is a tendency to indulge in the next meal which is more harmful for the body.
