I want to thank YouTube for being a big part in my
continuing journey to permanent management to my weight loss. Many people still
say to count calories and workout plans.
Don’t think that’s entirely the case. My past involved me using a calculator
for every calorie put in and burned. I won’t knock that because it allowed me
to realize how to eat and exercise and what worked for me.
Just because I gained weight, does not mean I forgot. I need
to thank God for that knowledge!!! Some people look at me crazy for the fact
that I “might” know how to lose weight, but I look completely contrary to my
claim. Some say I shouldn’t say that because it didn’t work for me. My answer
will always be that it did work for me. Anyone of these programs will work for
you, but the problem is not them.
For years, I thought none of these programs worked because
it wasn’t meant for me. That is the first lie I told myself. I’m sure some can
relate, but can only speak my experience. My thought on my “failures” is that I
never TRIED to follow it in the first place! It stings a little, but truth be
told, I never FULLY committed myself to those “programs of mind-sets” long enough
to say it wasn’t for me. The stuff I know today has me to realize that I never
stuck to something. I always let my “set ways” take over and didn’t allow the
change I needed.
If you were told you are not that big for the longest,
wouldn’t you believe that? If you ate what you wanted for as long as you can
remember, how do you expect to change? The fact is whatever time it took you to
learn that way, it might take just as long for you to break that cycle. The
addiction to food (that’s what it is) doesn’t allow us to really face the
problem we have. It thrives of emotions, good, bad, or indifferent. It’s a
mind-set that a diet just can’t fix. Ultimately, a diet is our body and mind
acting in an abnormal state. Naturally, when we try something different, our
bodies don’t know how to act. Right now, my body is telling me I’m hungry, but
I just ate a big salad from subway with sliced chicken and Italian dressing
from home. It was good and satisfying but my body wants MORE. I am a creature
of habit. I don’t want to go on a diet but a way to find balance this time
around.
