Well- it is your choice. But I personally believe that no one makes bad choices on purpose. Bad choices are made by lack of knowledge.
If your waistline is below < 38 inches (men) and below < 32 inches (women), you are in the zone but you definitely want to stay there and use all the techniques and tools available to stay fit. Read how to measure your waistline at home.
If your waistline is above > 40 inches (men) and above > 35 inches (women) it is time to do something about it. And I mean it is critical for you to do something because you have a big waistline or abdominal obesity and stress is taking a toll on you.
You need to learn how to manage the stress in your life ASAP. Read how menopause (women) and andropause (men) are linked to big waistline and stress.
Don’t even think about crash weight loss diet. Read about leptin hormone and how it is related to big waistline and stress.
Don’t rush to the gym at 5 am. The ONLY way to be successful in your weight loss is to identify the source of stress in your life and learn how to manage it. It is that simple (just teasing you). I highly recommend The Sedona method for stress relief.
Letting go of stress can mean letting go of the extra weight. In addition you need good sleep habits, and plenty of physical activity, ( exercise over 50 is part of physical activity).
I personally believe that anything that requires an extreme effort and sacrifice of any kind is not going to last and the benefits gained through this extreme effort would be quickly lost.
When I say extreme effort I mean crash weight loss diet or overly intensive exercise that you have never done before. Don’t push your self- exercise should not be strenuous- it needs to be moderate but regular. Be real- don't expect over night changes. Be persistent.
Moderation and persistence are the keys when it comes to food and physical activity. There is a general misconception that one needs exercise to lose weight or to stay fit.
