Hey guys. I know I haven't posted in a long time because this semester has been insane. Plus, i don't really know who is reading this so I questioned whether or not I should even continue. BUT! People have been noticing my weight loss and keep asking me questions so here it goes...
"SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE"
You CANNOT i repeat CANNOT look at this like a "diet". Why? Because a diet in the context most americans use means a short-time period where one is restricting caloric intake, obsessing over calories, and then once they reach their goal, they discontinue the "diet". Or some people look at it as a way to fit into your prom dress that is 2 months away and you need to lose 50 pounds. Once prom is over, you pack on the pounds.
Look at it as a lifestyle change. This is something you're going to be doing for the rest of your life. Stop reading this for a second. What did you feel like when you read "it's a lifestyle change you're going to be doing this for the rest of your life". Did you have an "UGH REALLY" type feeling? If so that means you're not ready. You need to be mentally FOCUSED. People will not understand why you're changing your eating/exercise behaviors (ill save that for another post).
To me weight loss can be achieved by anyone. Don't pick a date to start. Start NOW. Change little things. Drink 2% milk. Eat wheat bread, wheat pasta. Fill your plate with half veggies. I'm telling you this will work!!
If you are not mentally focused remember it is not going to work. I changed the way I thought about everything and it has aided in me losing 18 lbs (so far and counnnnting).
