I have worked in an office for the majority of my adult life and it sure is difficult to stay slim/thin. Just sitting at a desk in front of a computer all day is not only extremely boring but can also play havoc with your waist line due to the fact that you are unable to do any real exercise. It can be very hard to resist the temptation of food, food which is basically a way or removing the boredom. In this article I am going to write about a successful weight loss program for people who work in an office.
There are a number of sandwich and eateries close to where I work. In the past I would visit these establishments at lunch time to purchase my lunch. I would buy sandwiches, baguettes, sausage rolls, pasties and jacket potatoes. It was not until a few months ago that I realised just how damaging this was to my weight. These foods are very tasty but are also high in calories and fat content. I had to start thinking about what I was eating as I was unable to burn any of these calories as I of course work in an office.
As an example, for lunch today I went to the local supermarket and purchased two brown rolls and some chicken tikka meat. I made up my own sandwiches, there was no butter or mayonnaise included.
I normally have an hours break for lunch and normally go for a long walk during this time. I have to say that I actually find this very boring but I am determined to lose weight and am aware of the effort that I need to put in.
I have a very nice boss who regularly brings cakes, sweets and chocolate into the office as a way of boosting the morale of his workers. In the past I would really enjoy eating all of these treats, I now politely decline them. My boss has started to bring me a diet coke instead!
I used to get a real buzz from eating, I now get a real buzz from refusing food, it shows that I have the discipline and the guts. I am now slimmer than I have been for years and it feels superb.
