Conclusion

Nowadays, many especially young teenage girls are practicing various unhealthy diets to maintain desirable body figure. Their misunderstanding in this field often lead to various eating disorder such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, compulsive overeating and binge eating, which not only can lead to negative effects, at the same time these disorders can even cost their innocent life.

Ever since my retrenchment in heavy sports training, I could help to put on some weight due to excessive intake in high carbohydrates and proteins foods. So I'd tried several healthier method to help in my diet plan. But without determination and perseverance, I've failed to resume or maintain in these previous plans. For the drinking of Melilea Greenfield Organic, it works for three months but finally I gave in to its bad taste. I couldn't make myself continuing it after being tortured by the taste for three months. I've not continue jogging due to safety level of my neighborhood and lack of pardner to motivate me.

After studying about the transtheoretical model and the stages, I came out with a better plan to succeed in my diet plan. I found that by combining and carried out several ways (eating less and more meals, swimming and jogging or walking my dog) at the same time might be more affective as more aspect as been worked on. However, the action stage to observe the effectiveness in this diet plan is too short to obtain any obvious reduction in weight. During the action period, I was unable to apply my diet plan as frequent due to poor health condition and unsuitable weather. To conclude the results in less than two weeks time prove to be insufficient in the time aspect. I believe, if the given time frame is stretch to one month length, the results can be more convincing and for further maintaining or improvement.

In the commencement of this diet plan, I've realized no matter how well a diet plan is designed, but potential and chances for relapse is still high if it is carried out alone. In my previous experiences, I'd carried out the consuming of organic drink alone and without company, I was unable to jogging alone. However, in this new diet plan, most of the the activities were carried out with my housemates. With acquaintance, most of the activities are done in group. Results can be compared to increase each others motivation to perform better. At the same time, when I was being lazy or tired, with their encouragement and sometimes provoke, we were able to complete the task with each others help.

Following & Tracking

Since 6th February 09' I've beginning to implement my plans as the previous post. So far I had been cooking with my housemates some diet consisting mainly of vegetables and less deep fried meals. We've gone swimming several times and brought my dog for walk as well.

But so far due to my bad health condition, I have not been able go swimming and to bring my dog for walk regularly everyday. Other than that the swimming pool was out of service few days as well because of the pool water treatment and circulation. The pool's water turn greenish as the management department did not clean the pool properly. During rainy days, I was effete to go swimming nor walk my dog as well. Breed dogs like mine are not advisable to be walked outdoor during rainy days, for this can encourage the growth of fleas.

Therefore, again there is no significant improvement regarding my weight in this less than two weeks time.

Planning

In order to start all over my diet plan, I've decided to ameliorate my previous plans with some modifications.

Eat Less but more meal. To prevent from eating more oily foods which can lead to increasing in weight due to high fats content, me and my housemates decide to cook at home. By doing this we can plan our menu and meals portions to attain a balance diet. Besides that, few of us can monitor each others' diet and motivate each other at the same time. Some of my friends that had tried the eat less but more meal method and from their experiences this method can work. So I have more confidence in trying out this plan.

Change jogging to walk my dog. Since I have a dog, I will try to walk my dog around my condo area during the evenings everyday except for rainy days. By doing this, me myself can have some light exercise in the same time I can bring my energetic dog for some exercise as well.

Swimming. Since our condo area have a swimming pool, I will make use of it. Me and my housemate plan to swim at least once a week. Swimming can burn calories at a rate of about 3 calories a mile per pound of body weight. Apart from that, swimming can promote better cardiovascular and muscle health. With better health condition, chances of getting sickness will reduce as well.
