Build Your Body

It’s as simple fact of life that retiring ends up being a nightmare for many people. Especially if they lose their husband or wife soon after retirement, they often simply lose their will to live and become dark, oppressed beings who get no joy from life. That is such a sad scenario. Luckily it’s not inevitable. Dating could be fun no matter how old you are.

Your first step should be to build self confidence. Start by losing some of that extra kilos that you picked up over the years. If you don’t know how to lose fat there are only two things that you should keep in mind: take in less calories and exercise more.

The secret of losing weight is in the first place self discipline. Keep in mind the end result – not just a slimmer you but a slimmer you with an attractive member of the opposite sex at your side. So get rid of the fattening foods and desserts in your refrigerator. Perhaps the best option is not to try this all one your own. Join one of the numerous slimming clubs in your area. The ones where you have to get weighed every week and then explain why you picked up weight. Peer pressure with a vengeance!

This can serve a dual purpose: many of these slimming clubs accept members from both sexes. Are you getting my point? Joining such a club might be the ideal opportunity of meeting someone who has the same purpose in life as you: losing weight and meeting someone interesting. If you are a gentleman you could even wear a black sport watch to one of these meetings – the ladies love them.

Apart form eating less you should of course still exercise more. Now don’t go overboard with this. You just want to lose weight and get a date – you don’t want to kill yourself. If you haven’t exercised in many years, simply start by talking a long walk once or twice a day. Then perhaps increase the pace a bit and jog 100m before walking for 100m again. Sooner or later you will be able to jog the whole distance.

Now here comes the clever part. Remember: you don’t want to get fit just for fitness’s sake. You have an ulterior motive. So ask someone at the slimming club to jog with you. Not just anyone – someone that you think could become a very special jogging partner.

Before you even know it, you will have lost a lot of weight and in the process quite possibly gained a new partner to share the rest of your days with.
