If you are looking for quick easy diets that work for you to incorporate into your busy lifestyle, you have come to the right place.

A little something about me. I grew up in a big family that believed in feeding the kids whatever we wanted. I guess that’s how love is being shown in my family. So there wasn’t much control when it came to my diet. I could have as many sodas as I wanted during the day, feasted on candy instead of a proper meal and helped myself to as much dessert after dinner. Back then, being a fat little kid was cute.

My bad eating habits became my normal eating habits. I still remember very clearly to this day the first time I had to purchase my school uniform. I couldn’t. That’s right. By the time I was 6, I was weighing in at 60kg and had a waistline of 42 inches. They didn’t have a uniform in my size and  the school had to get mine specially tailored.

Being so young, the ramifications of being overweight never occurred to me. I just brushed off whatever teasing I got from my classmates. The only thing I looked forward to in school was lunchtime. For a good 10 years of my schooling life, I had to tailor make my school uniform.

I started to grow more and more conscious of my weight as I got older. I frequently imagined people talking behind my back and making fun of my size and weight. The turning point came when I was called up my school doctor for a physical examination. She was rather concerned about my weight. At the age of 16, I weighed close to 90kg.

I was asked to attend a fitness program tailored for obese kids at a local hospital. When I got there, I saw a room full of obese kids with their parents doing simple exercises. Something in me just refused to join the group and I left. I guess I was ashamed of myself because what I saw wasn’t a pretty sight.

Back in school I was lucky to have a teacher who had good knowledge about nutrition. He knew that I was struggling with my weight and offered to help me by starting me off on an easy diet that worked.

I was told to cut off all sugary stuff and to keep my carbohydrate intake to a minimum. It was difficult at first. I gave myself excuses like ‘I will start my diet tomorrow’ or ’1 can of soda can’t hurt’. I soon realized that there’s only so many excuses you can give yourself before it starts to sound lame.

I started getting serious with my diet and my weight begun to come off. Everyone I knew noticed my weight loss and that fueled my motivation even more.

All in all, I lost more than 25kg over a 2 year time frame with different diets. It was gradual and the weight stayed off. I started incorporating physical activities to firm up the body. I ran, played alot of sports and carried weights. Working out with weights was the one thing which really transformed my physical appearance.
