Hope you're having a swell day. I wont really be writing lengthy words,just writing it out however it flows......(smiles)
I went on with the same exercise routine(details in my last post....www.temistots.blogspot.com) but stopped the diet routine of fish, vegetable, beans, wheat, fruits, and water so I wont end up in a CRASH diet, knowing fully well that I want this to be a life time change and not for a period of time. It is better not to start a diet that has an expiration date.....focus on a lifestyle that will last forever. What I did was just to reduce portion of my meals and calculated all my calorie intake not letting it exceed 1000 per day.
I lost 5kg more by the end of another 2weeks (making it 10kg in a month). Weighing 106kg, my self-esteem and self-awareness grew tremendously. I realised how beneficial it was to be on a weight loss journey. I personally have always considered myself to be attractive regardless of my size but through other peoples opinion about my physical changes I've noticed how superficial the world is. Sometimes I let myself down. when this happens I just hurt a little while and then I get back up and keep going. other times I exceed my expectations and get excited about the fact that I set a goal and I overcame it.(my biggest challenge was myself) I get angry when I didn't see progress on the scale (plateau stage)because i had imagined myself to have lost about 20kg at the end of one month. Before and after pictures helped me overcome this challenges,rather than focus on the fact that my weight wasn't stable, I focused on progress pictures. That was what kept reigniting my wanting to lose weight.
Encouraging Words......
# Exercise to be fit, NOT 'SKINNY'. Eat to nourish your body and always ignore the haters, doubters and unhealthy examples that were once feedi. You are worth more than you realise.
# If it doesn't challenge you, it wont change you.
# Of course its hard. Its supposed to be hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. Hard is what makes it great.
