Motivation to lose weight/ get healthy - LONG
ok ladies, I am the world's biggest procrastinator as well as a self destructive person when it comes to food. Although I am not overweight, food runs my life - I live to eat, not eat to live. Thank God I have a metabolism, but I was starting to see food choices effect my overall health - cholesteral, blood sugar, even though i am in the 'normal' weight range for my height.
Nothing would motivate me, not even my pending wedding ( I am my own worst enemy). then I met up with a friend who lost so much weight and was really positive. Asked her her secret and I found out she read, Body for Life for Woman. i was like ok - went to bookstore and checked it out.
The reason why I am posting this is because I know I am not the only emotional eater out there and I know the stress and anquish it can cause. this book does not just talk about losing weight - it talks about why you are eating - emotional reasons. I have read many health books and i feel like this one does not promote diet but a way of life.
Girls - I lost 8 pounds and have taken control of my eating - it does not control me.some key things said in that book I use as my daily mantra! I feel great and I am close to my goal for the wedding - and for once, I am doing it healthy. i have battled late night binges, overeating for years - it ruins self esteems!
Since this helped me I thought I would pass it along!![]()
