Here’s The Skinny On How I Lost 40 Pounds
Losing weight is a tough problem for anyone! Statistics show that over 50% of the American people are overweight, and I didn’t want to be part of that club, so I had to lose weight. Plus, I knew that carrying the extra weight was not good for my health.
Growing up, I had always been a skinny kid, so weight was never a problem. I was so skinny, that I had to run around in the shower to get wet! (just kidding) I come from a skinny family of four brothers and five sisters, and none of us ever had a weight problem, and neither did my parents, who were of average build.

But, for a few weeks, I noticed something was not right with me. I did not feel right. I felt listless; overweight; bloated; not sleeping well; and just plain awful, etc. My clothes were not fitting right, and I was a little short-tempered! Something was wrong, and I had to find out what it was. When I found out what was wrong, boy did I get a surprise!

Attitude: Attitude is everything! I thought attitude could be the most important factor in all this. For, it was attitude that helped me to quit smoking 30 years before. A mix of attitude, discipline, patience, sacrifice…that’s what I wanted in my game plan. If I could quit smoking, with the “mental toughness,” it took to do it…I COULD LOSE 40 POUNDS I was ready to kick some butt…MY very big butt! First, I had to get rid of my cry-baby attitude and self-pity about myself…which is not like me! I knew, over the next several months, I was going to take

Patience: The next decision was to be patient from beginning to the end. Losing all this weight is going to take time. There’s NO magic pill; there’s NO magic malt; there’s NO magic dust! Now, that I decided that patience was going to play an important role in my success to lose weight, I could now settle down a little.
Aids: The thought of books; pills; malts were out the window! I decided to make my own rules. I would not spend money on all this stuff. If my game plan didn’t work, THEN I would go out and

A pound a week: The thought of losing 40 pounds was overwhelming to me, and I didn’t like it! So, I decided to get rid of that thought, and I would think of losing a pound a week, which sounded better to me than losing 40 pounds. As you can see, I created my own rules and my own game plan. Since I’m not a rocket scientist, my math told me, it would take about 40 weeks or about 10 months

I think I have two big advantages over some people:
1) Walking/jogging: I have been walking/jogging 10-15 miles a week since 1986! And still, in the year 2006, jogging helps me to sweat out the good times, and to stay fit. Jogging helps me to keep the stress out of

2) Quit smoking: I had to use discipline to quit smoking over 30 years ago, and now it would take discipline to get the weight off, etc. But, it took more than discipline. As mentioned earlier, it took sacrifice; determination; dealing with peer-pressure, patience, etc.
So, week after week and month

The weight was lost in the year 2000, and as of the year 2006, I still weigh 165-170 pounds. In my view, I think I have not gained the weight back because of patience. It took a long time to lose the weight, and the body adjusted. Today, we live in a fast-paced society, and people don’t have patience. People today want everything YESTERDAY! There’s NO easy answer…there’s no easy way…there’s no magic dust! A person just has to suck it up…get that “mental toughness,” that’s essential…AND, JUST DO IT!

MY TWO CENTS/Update; January 15, 2007
As a novice in writing, I think this is an amazing story about this piece, Weight Loss: How I Lost 38 Pounds. I wrote the piece on August 4, 2006, and it was one of my first articles I posted on Ezine Articles.com. Over the next 2-3 weeks, the piece was going nowhere…stagnant…not many hits/views…stuck at the bottom of the ocean! Over the next month, I did what I could for the “basket case” so there was

All the other articles I wrote during this time, would pass Weight Loss: How I Lost 38 Pounds and kick sand in its face! It was my 97 pound weakling…my little basket case! And, then in September, (2006) sometime, the piece started to move out of the basement and show some life! Needless to say, I was happy about this. It started to take baby steps on its move up the ladder of my article list! Ever so slowly, it continued to move up! Week after week, I kept an eye on it
