Belly Fat not easy to get rid of

It appears whenever I get into discussion with someone serious about losing weight more especially getting rid of  belly fat we would both agree that it grows on us so easily. But it becomes very difficult to lose belly fat.  Probably that is why so many people give trying to get rid of that "spare tire" belly fat.  So instead it is passed off as another fat belly joke.

However, I had to recognize the dangerous side of not losing belly fat.  So many inherent complications to my health can arise if I did not lose belly fat.   There is a lot more information available today about the consequences of not paying attention to our obesity or being overweight.  A fat belly contributes negatively to so  many ailments or diseases.  So as I look at myself in the mirror, especially from a side view or looking towards my toes I increasingly disliked what I saw - my big, fat belly!

The more I understood about the threat to my health and life I read and listened and applied.  I decided I will get rid of belly fat so I could look better and live better!  Maybe if you are like me you might find interest at this link on getting rid of belly fat. I believe this lady who is a nationally certified, professional trainer and nutritionist helpful in what she says.  Take a look.

Fat Belly Diabetic Overcomes Weight problems

I am a 50+ year old diabetic who has been overweight with a fat belly.  My mother died at a relatively young age  because of diabetes. She lost her eyesight, had both legs amputated and was relegated to a wheelchair.  Although she had prosthetic legs her weight was too much and put a strain on both her body and heart.  She suffered from congested heart failure, coma and eventually died from a severe stroke.

Do I have reason to loose belly fat?  You bet I have a very good reason to lose belly fat.  I have been on diabetic medications and still using them but much less.  I started to use some products and methods to loose belly fat and control my diabetes. I also continue to have regular medical checkups and for over the last 18 months my diabetic levels have been normal!!

I was wearing 44 - 46 inch pants and now I am really using my belt to keep up a 38 inch pants because I lost belly fat.  My family, friends and people who know me can attest to this!

As anyone that knows me, I enjoyed and still do, apple pie, blueberry pie, pumpkin pie, pecan pie and cheesecake.  Yeah, steak, BBQ, and Fried Chicken, wings, and ribs - yep, a recipe for a fat belly.  I enjoy good food - anybody like me - sure there are many people like me.  I like fish, crab, lobster, homemade hamburger and there are lots more that I enjoy which contributes to a fat belly.

So in order to enjoy these things, control my diabetic condition and lose belly fat I chose to manage my diet and exercise.  I still do whatever it takes to loose belly fat and enjoy life.  Well, more about how I loose belly fat and live in my next post.
