According to standard calculations, my Body Mass Index of 28.7 is toward the upper end of the "overweight" category (25.0-29.9). This seems a bit harsh to me, since I don’t really feel like a fatty; just a little flabbier than I could be. In any case, I think it’s time I acted to reverse this slow and steady increase in flab, which is I know is only going to get worse as I slide towards 40…
And so, for the record, I hereby declare that I will lose at least 10 kilograms (22 lb) within the next 6 months, preferably getting down to 80 kilograms (176 lb), which would take me back into the "normal" weight range. After careful consideration and consultation with numerous experts, I have identified three actions that would probably have the biggest impact on my weight:
- Stop eating chips/fries
- Stop eating chocolate
- Exercise!
