Walk – it’s best for weight and for hart and for back. You can walk every day to your office – if you come by car – just park it far away.

Back pains are sometimes “phantom” pains coming from your feet; make sure you have good shoes.

Look for agronomic sitting near computer. It don’t have to cost much, just adjust the angels right.

Don’t sit so much time, every hour or so, do 5-10 minutes of stand and walk session.

You deserve something like this, this, this or this.
I got my two years son this chair and he is very happy.
But seriously, I think you need an inflatable chair, or check Isa Town market and you may find a nice chair.

You’re very welcome. My motto is “everything in moderation including moderation.” I eat everything I want, just not everyday and not in big portions (well, except for an occasional super splurge). One of my big problems used to be bread at restaurants. I made the rule that I could only eat one piece. Once I got used to that, I started working on only eating bread if it was good. I can’t believe how much disgusting, dry, tasteless bread I used to eat! Another big problem was french fries. Now I just have them every 3 weeks or so. Of course, now they have those really good frozen french fries that you can bake and taste very close to the real thing.

Your friend is right about the walking, though. When I moved to a walking city and started walking about 2 miles a day, I lost weight within a month without even thinking about it.

Lisa:

As for the weight, try looking at your diet as 100 bad habits, not one, and work on one bad habit at a time. For example, work on the rice for a few weeks – cut it in half for a few weeks until you get used to that, then cut it again for a few more, once that becomes easy go on to the next bad habit. You can’t find religion overnight!

PING! (that is the light going on in my head!)

Lisa, this is the best advice I have received for a long time! I never thought of it like that. Brilliant. This really resonates with me and I shall take what you said to heart and start immediately. Thanks ever so much.

A friend also told me recently, when I cheekily asked him how he lost his weight, that all he did is cut his food in half and walk about 3kms a day, every day except for Friday and be consistent about it and make the time no matter what happens. I took his advice, but didn’t think that it was enough… now coupling what he said and what you said I understand, finally, HOW (not what) I have to go about it.

Thanks again.

Back pain is weird like that. Years with no problems, then all of a sudden you do something different (like use the wrong chair) and you’re plagued for life. I never had problems until one of those sprinkler covers in the ceilings of office buildings fell on my shoulder. Now, whenever I get lazy and sit incorrectly for a few days or use a laptop on a desk for more than an hour, the pain comes back excruciatingly. The fun of getting older!
