Do you feel fat and you are over 40?

Does life seem to be sneaking up on you from all directions? Now here you are at 40 and feeling chubby if not fat and just not sure where to go from here. Well read on and you will be armed with some new knowledge and learn ways to get back in shape and start feeling fit, healthy and slim again. Eliminate that fat feeling of over 40 forever.

That cushion of fat around your waist, often referred to as the midlife bulge, seems to be getting bigger and softer and you’ve finally made the decision that it’s time to do something about it.

You have started researching on the Internet, but there is so much information available that you feel overwhelmed with all the information you have found. Then, just when you start to see the path you want to take, you come across conflicting information that makes you wonder if this is the direction you should be going.

Just take a step back and think realistically for a minute. You know that there is no quick fix to lose weight, that you really need to make changes in your lifestyle and not see this as a diet. You understand the basics of eating right and accept that you’ll need to do some form of exercise, so you really want to follow a simple plan that can be personally customized. Then pick up a walking regimen and stick to it as much as possible. Knowing that life gets in the way and all is not lost if one day you miss your walk or eat a piece of birthday cake!

In your new healthy lifestyle plan, you’ll want to have options, eat the foods you know you like and stick with. It’s great to try new recipes but don’t think you have to eat fish every day if you really don’t like it. Cook meals that can be added to other family members, perhaps have more meat or potatoes, add a salad to the meal, or serve two vegetables instead of one. This way, you won’t feel deprived while watching others eat a big plate.

When it comes to adding exercise, walking or swimming is easy on the joints and can be done with family or friends, make it an enjoyable event and you won’t even feel like you’re exercising.
