Let me be honest here. Yes I was recovering from the depression caused by eating to much sugary stuff and was looking for my other packet of fries when by fiancée came down hard on me and I got a wake up call. Am sure you don't want to hear about my relationship issues so here is what I did to lose weight in 30 days.

I held myself back from eating the next packet of chips

I decided to cut the routine. Every time I felt like buying some fries and a pizza I would head on to the kitchen to cook a real meal and eat. I made sure there was always real food in the house so when the cravings set in I would eat something healthy.

I stopped going out for lunch

I realized that I ate more junk during my lunch breaks than any other time. So I started carrying a lunch box and avoided going to the stores during the lunch hour.

I stopped shopping on an empty stomach

Every time I went shopping with an empty stomach I would find myself buying a lot of junk. I don't know why but one day I went to shopping after a good meal and I bought good food. It made it easier for me to avoid junk food, as I had none near by.

I changed my eating patterns and started eating smaller amounts regularly

I started eating fewer portions more often and stopped the 3 BIG meals per day. At the time I was doing this, I didn't know much about metabolism until one of my friends told me about it.

I started sleeping longer

Fortunately for me it was not a busy month at work so I started sleeping the recommended 8 hours and made sure I kept my sleeping and walking up times consistent.

I started drinking lots of water

Every day in the mornings I drank two glasses of water and also at night especially when I felt hungry just before bed.
