Over the last few years, I have had lots of complains about my weight gain from my near ones. I haven't listened much to those complains but in fact, they were right. I had gained quite a few pounds around my waist. It wasn't pretty while I tried to wear some stylish shirts as these come in slim style. I had been thinking lately how I can tackle this issue. I was more concerned about my looks rather than health impacts.
So, what did I do?
A colleague of mine told me that he goes to bed at 9 pm. It surprised me a lot. For a person like who doesn't go to bed before 12am, it was a shock. But what he also me also made me think. I find him as a person who is always so happy at work and I always wondered how he manages that. It's not that I am unhappy but he is in a different level. In his opinion, it was partly down to his sleep pattern. He told me, "Go to bed very early once or twice a week. It will change your life".
So, I tried this. I started going bed by 11pm and some nights I went to bed really early. I am not sure whether it made me happier or not but I started seeing some real change in my physique. I started loosing weight. Within three weeks, I lost 3~4 kg weight. It made me realise, all these years of late sleep had surely contributed to my weight gain as I always knew that I am not a heavy eater.
I continued this new regime. Today, it's nearly three months since I had changed my sleep pattern. I now try to make sure that I have minimum 7 hours of sleep every night.
So, who wants to know how much weight I have lost?
The answer is, 8.5 kg so far.
Yes, I also had less amounts of junk food, such as Chicken & chips or kebab. I also did some walking after evening meal but not so regularly.
It was a simple procedure which most of us might know of. But I have tried and tested it on myself and it worked.
