Is it easier to lose weight as a single than being married with children? A single can clean the house of all temptations with no opposition. On the other hand, a married person lives with another who may not share the same goal. Come to think of it, the single could also have children, or live with someone, but for this writing I refer to singles who live alone.
Singles can also have a personal discipline problem. One of the challenges to living single could be boredom eating, which can be eliminated by getting rid of unhealthy snacks. If you must have smacks, make it low calorie healthy.
What are the challenges of living with others? They may or may not want to lose weight, or care about your temptations. If you’re married, the whole family may resent you putting them on restrictions. Singles living alone with no children don’t have this problem.
Taking off the pounds married or single depends on your personal commitment to a changed lifestyle. You will have to resist the temptations. The cravings won’t let go that easily. It will be a battle but you can win. Yes, there will be times when you will fall back into old habits. You don’t have to stay there. Start over as many times as it takes.
Single or married: Make your snacks healthy. Keep pieces of fruit, or fruit cups handy; fresh veggies like Brocolli, salad, etc. If you are tempted, read the labels and don’t over do it. Avoid high calorie, high fat snacks like chips, cookies, etc., candy. Watch your meal portion consumption. Eat slower. Chew longer. Practice eating smaller meals in between the main meals. A meal can be Orange and Apple slices.
Remember your goal: to lose the extra pounds, to shape up to look and feel better. I personally don’t like dieting. Gone are the days of starving and denial. Today I eat what my family eats but in moderation.
You can eat healthy and take off the pounds gradually as a part of your lifestyle, or binge diet and lose the fight because of temptation.
