I'm always one of the last to finish the run and find the shuttles harder than most people seem to.

That wouldn't normally be a worry to me, except I used to be one of the fastest and fittest of my friends. So, I decided to turn things around. I'm going to the gym at least once a week, as well as rugby. That's exercise covered.

It's the food that's worrying me. I've decided to drink more water and only eat my main meals, or if I feel peckish some fruit or a plain piece of bread. I'm a couple of days into my new lifestyle but I'm finding it difficult. I have plenty of fruit, but how can I vary it? Mainly I'm just having oranges and slices of bananas and it's getting boring. Anybody have any suggestions? I don't wanna do any of that counting calories crap.
For starters, quit worrying about it. You arent overweight, and you dont want to start the weight management worrying now or it will become your lifestyl;e. i know plenty of people who are obsessed with their weight and never had an issue, ever.

As for the boredom, there are plenty of healthy things out there. 100 calorie packs of cookies and stuff arent just for people trying to lose weight, they are a good way to get something different without going overboard.

Also, make sure you treat yourself every once in a while. if you go cold-turkey, you will fail because eventually you will ninge, or you will just be miserable with life (which also leads to binging)
