I really like hearing about people's weight loss stories, it really makes me want to try harder. I like this girls story because it's not some sad sob/amazing story, but the actual story of a girl, who went from bad habits to good habits. I haven't read the entire page, and some of the recipes seem very complicated/expensive. But I feel the way she has always felt. I know I'm not the weight I really want to be, neither am I healthy. I want to be healthy for many reasons, looking good is just one of them. She puts it pretty simple too. You just have to make adjustments and stick to them.
When I decided to stop trying to loose weight, and every time I've done this I always try to convince myself that I just need money, so I can buy a membership to a gym, or buy the healthy foods-like actually buying vegetables and fruit. We pretty much stick to the staples and make what we can. Fruit and veggies are so expensive, especially for someone who is poor. I think I am just going to have to try portion control, and actually stop eating out! I like that on her blog she says to let yourself eat whatever once a week. Basically she's saying if you deny yourself what you want, then you have the chance of going overboard and giving up. I know this is going to be hard but I've made a weekly schedule to help me. I think that if I actually write down my goals, and put it up so I can see it every day then my chances of actually doing it will be greater. I've also decided to try different exercises every week. I like her weekly schedule. She does a different type of exercise everyday of the week and she rests on Sunday. I know there are different types of exercises I can do, and it doesn't require me going to a gym. Nick bought us tennis racquets and balls for my birthday. I just need to learn how to score now. I'm so glad that he is willing to help me. I know he hates it, he's told me. But I still enjoy it, even if he doesn't. Another thing she mentioned was that one time when she was just really upset she went for a walk to clear her head but ended up enjoying the walk, and basically she doesn't walk/run because she has to loose weight, but that it's more about clearing your head, and being at peace with yourself.
