Week 9

My weeks usually start on Sunday and this Sunday I started as usual with a long walk. You can see this walk on my YouTube channel "Diary of a Xenior". There I go through the day a little bit; while walking I give my views on the world events and everything that comes to my mind at that moment. Check it out if you want to:

In fact, everyone should realize that obesity means overweight. First of all, I have read that if you gain 10 kg in your lifetime, i.e. above your normal weight, your chance of living a disease-free old age decreases by 40-50%. That's quite a claim, but as usual, there's always a silver lining.

If you lose about the same amount of weight, your chance of developing type 2 diabetes is reduced by half, or 50%.

This means that if you weigh 92 kg like me and you lose 10 kg, you gain a huge health benefit. So, your chances of getting diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes, go down as you lose weight in a healthy way.

As time goes by and my weight goes down, my motivation to keep going increases. Isn't that a win-win situation?

At the end of this week (9), my scale showed 82.5 kg.
