Battle with the bulge

Good news for those who are longing put down extra baggage

It is always beneficial to have a companion longing to shed weight along with you. It would reap great benefits if the two or more persons with the need to lose weight meet a dietician together. Be it an exercise regimen or a balanced diet schedule, it is easy for a couple, be it a husband and wife or a mother and daughter combination, it works very well in reaching the final goal. It is difficult for an individual to take to dieting and exercise in a household. It would be easy if there is some one in the house to keep company. The cravings for food could be managed very well if the person has somebody to accompany him or her in the diet program. It is easy to keep away from distractions in the form of high calorie food and snacks. One supports the other and encourages him to work hard towards the goal.

Obese children are on the increase now, in this age of fast food and video games. They spend a lot of time in front of the computer and also binging on the cheese filled fast foods. Pizzas are stacked with high calories and it is the most favourite food of children and adults too. Consuming a lot of high calorie foods would certainly pave the way for an obese next generation. Even now, we can come across many obese children when compared to the recent past. The adults should be responsible for the sake of their children and be role models for them in every way. They should pave the right path for their juniors to follow.

Encouragement and understanding among the couples or parent- child duo helps in the long run. The child who is on a diet will feel much better if the parent also sacrifices some high calorie food stuff along with her. It is a blessing in disguise for over-weight couples who go on a diet and exercise together. As both of them are looking forward to a weight- loss, one does not feel deprived of the favourite items the other person is consuming.

Perseverance and discipline helps in a very big way. Adhering to the diet plans of the dietician and sticking to the exercise program certainly helps to maintain the weight loss. Every kilo lost is a sign of victory for the individual wishing to lose weight. But it happens that though the similar diet plan is taken up by couples, there is difference in the way an individual responds to same plan. One may lose weight quicker than the companion. But this should not be a dampener in the goal for the person who loses weight at a slower pace. Nothing is impossible.
