Today is the halfway point of my one-year diet. As I have said all along, this is a diet - but not a diet. Sure I am doing a different diet weekly. But things happen - It’s real life. We have things that occur throughout our daily lives that interrupt sticking to the course of a diet. This blog started out, as a "Diet Blog" but has become what I feel is motivational too. If you really think about it – when real life is happening it doesn’t matter if you are on a diet or set a schedule for something else, the things that occur in your daily life is not set in stone…… THINGS CHANGE.
If we were all lucky enough to remove ourselves from the daily pressures of working, taking care of a family and events, have that personal trainer and chef - we all most likely would be thin(ner).
What matters first is that I have focused on myself. Doing a different diet has made me more aware of how different foods and diets effect how my body reacts. It has also afforded me the opportunity to really look at myself and see that no one is going to do this except me and this goes for anything in my life. You will always have assistance from a friend or loved one – but they are not you. If I want something, I have to do it myself. Interruptions are going to happen. I keep positive; there is no room for self-hatred. I am out to better myself and along the way share my experience’s, humor and information.
My weight has been with me a while. The weight is not the issue. It’s me who decides if I am going to make a life I enjoy or cower in a corner and not enjoy the life that I was given.
We all have ups and downs. Don’t let life get the better of you.
GRAB LIFE – ENJOY IT!!
I know of friends and loved ones that I have asked to go to the gym and their response was "when I lose weight" too embarrassed to be seen in public. There is an excuse every time you ask them to do anything. WHY???????????
You are what you are.
Your weight does not change the person you are inside.
I am not the type of person to look a thin or heavy person and say "Gee, I do not want to be with that person". I look at the person – INSIDE- who gives a crap if you are skinny or fat?? Are you going to not live your life doing what you want because you are too skinny or too fat?? NOT ME!!!
I like people (for the most part) – I DO NOT LIKE MEAN PEOPLE!!
I like talking, learning others experience’s – I am not judging others flaws as I do not want my own flaws judged. I am my own worst enemy; I do not need someone else to point out the obvious. In the same vein – I am not letting another person bring me down either. If you are dieting or just reading along – I hope you are not caught up in the negatives and that you can look in the mirror and see all the positives in yourself. I have always believed people that are mean are just jealous because they see in you what they do not see in themselves. They are insecure and find comfort in hurting someone so they have something to make them feel better.
DO NOT GIVE INTO IT! YOU ARE SO MUCH BETTER!!
I look in the mirror and I like what I see. I look past my imperfections (we all judge ourselves more harshly than someone else would judge us). I know the kind of person I am. I know I am kind, considerate, a good friend, honest, fair, funny and spontaneous. I take my positives and use them. I have moments when I get down on myself but they are brief.......There is no room for negativity.
I am at the halfway point of this blog and if you are following my blog. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
If you are dieting, exercising, just getting started on a diet or exercise program or looking for inspiration - I hope in putting my experiences out there help. Just keep your support group close (even if all you have for support is your doctor) - -
You are your biggest cheerleader and I am right there with you!
So, what am I waiting for...........Let's get going on the next half of this journey...
HEAD'S HELD HIGH
SHOULDERS BACK (NO SLOUCHING)
A BIG SMILE ON YOUR FACE
ENJOY LIFE....DON'T MISS A THING!
