My weight loss journey began three years ago, when I renewed my drivers' license.
Every time you renew your license you have to get a new picture taken that will be displayed on your license card.
That day when I saw my picture, I couldn't recognize the round face staring back at me.
I was shocked, I knew I was overweight but never realized just how overweight I got.
After a while you just accept that you are overweight and that you can't do anything about it.
I weighed in at a 105 kg with 38 inch waist line. For my length 1.78 m it was not a good thing.
I knew there and then something had to be done.
After about a year and half I got down to 95 kg and a 35 inch waist. For the last year and a half I have been fluctuating between 93 and 96 kg because I've been able to maintain some of the habits that I formed over the last couple of years.
Some of the habits I formed, was to drink less beer and drink whisky instead, I eat cooked oats with a little bit of honey or syrup on top instead of milk and sugar, I was also able to change to drink black coffee with sweetner instead of sugar and milk.
I also exercise at least once a week. I've threatened to cancel my gym contract more often than I would like to admit. But keeping it has forced me to at least use it between 3 to 8 times per month.
All of these little changes has kept the weight off.
Now I need to adjust a little bit more to get to my new goal weight of 90kg and a 32 inch waist.
