Growth isn’t always constant. Relapses happen. It doesn’t erase all your success.

losing weight doesn't have to mean giving up the things you enjoy.

you can still eat snacks and desserts and cake.

you can still go to restaurants and bars with your friends.

you can still drink soda, juice, and cappucinos.

it's all about moderation. you can do all of these things you enjoy, just be mindful. listen to your body. eat when you're hungry, even eat to indulge sometimes. you can give yourself room to eat or drink things you enjoy even if they're not the healthiest option for you. just note it and acknowledge the impact it has on your meals, your fullness, your macro or calorie intake (if you choose to track). i find that i don't feel bad having a slice of cake when i know i've been consistent and when i know i'm not going to eat so much of it that i'll feel sick.

giving up specific foods, food groups, or social outings that you enjoy is going to make this journey a lot harder and a lot less sustainable.

plus, think about all the things you're gaining on your weight loss journey. you're gaining discipline, confidence, strength - muscular and otherwise. you're gaining a new love for fitness, or sports, or walking in your neighborhood. you're gaining a new love for foods you hadn't tried before, for smoothies, for healthy, vegetable-filled meals that taste delicious. you're challenging yourself and you're growing because of it. you're gaining all of these wonderful things while paving the road to the new you.

losing weight can add so much to your life without giving up the things you enjoy. for me, that makes it all the more worthwhile.

10/20/23 Things I did to help myself.... what did I have to change? Seems like everything some days.

Healthy Tips

Realistically evaluated my eating habits. It was either not enough or too much, no in-between. That was part of my problem.

Most restaurant meals are too much, even if you think you are ordering the 'healthy option'

It is not normal to gorge yourself on appetizers, drinks, & a giant entree. Choose a moderation mindset: Pick one or 2. Share an app. One drink. Pack half your entree 'to go'.

Our society is driven by consumerism. I had to take steps to stop that. Meet people to do activities, not to consume things.

Water- I shoot for 200 oz of water a day.

I take low cal beverages with me... nearly everywhere. Tea, coffee, sparkling water.

Try all kinds of different tea.

Meals focus on protein and produce. If you are still hungry- eat another portion of meat and produce.

Try to eat as unprocessed as possible. They add stuff to our food to make our brains light the F up. It isn't natural and devastating to people like me who are especially susceptible. Often when I have issues (yesterday!) It is because I had a processed item.

Sometimes I add a fiber supplement to my drink. Adds calories yes but I don't worry about it.

Try to only have 1 sweet thing a day. The later in the day, the better. I will actually be shooting for every 3 days or so.

Some of my craving issues were blood sugar related because I was pre-diabetic and had PCOS- which has an insulin problem.

If you haven't eaten, plan and eat a healthy meal that has a substantial amount of protein.

If you have eaten already, try to distract yourself with a task. If you are still truly hungry 20 minutes later- have another bit of protein & veggies.

Walk daily. But don't count it as your cardio.

If you work at a desk, get a standing desk and try to work up to standing daily.

Cardio 3x a week. Whatever you enjoy. Yes, you have to enjoy it. If you don't, you haven't found your activity yet.

Weight training 3x a week. Lift all the weights you can, as often as you can manage. You are now in training. For life!

Supplements- figure out what works for you. I am currently on: Sam-E, NAC, Nomorbidity, Alkemi, allergy stuff, and some other stuff I rotate in.

Read books that help your mindset. Atomic habits, mindset books. 10 mins a day, make it a habit to improve yourself.

Watch YouTube videos that build your motivation and determination.

Things can get better. I also utilize therapy! There is no shame in needing help!

I am becoming a healthier person and every choice reflects that.

So you are saying that you're not good enough because others seem to be achieving great heights and you are not? Come here, let me hug you and remind you that your continuous effort to improve yourself is already a victory❤✨

Slow progress is still progress, and you never truly know the behind-the-scenes stories of others' success. What may seem like overnight success often hides years of dedication and perseverance.

Just like you, they too made slow progress every day. So, never doubt yourself. Celebrate your resilience. You have so much to learn and grow. Each person has their own unique success story and journey. When you see others' success, don't underestimate your own capabilities. One day, you will reach great heights too. Keep going and trust yourself❤✨

3/24/24

Yesterday was awesome. I was so happy to see my nephew wrestle.

I refilled my water bottle several times. Ate my car snacks when it was over. Although I admit I should have brought a jerky in with me.

I didn't hit the gym after because of PF's damn closing hours. And lack of headphones. And the incoming storm.

I hit the grocery store before heading for home.

I went home and did a 1 hour elliptical workout.

I relaxed with mom after. I had some dinner. I was exhausted by 10:30 so I went to bed by 11.

What you do every day matters.

It is who you become.

When I feel like I'm not making enough progress weight-wise, when I feel like the scale is not moving fast enough, I just try one an outfit that I've been wearing since the beginning of my fitness journey.

THEN I instantly see changes!

People around don't see a number written on my forehead. They see how my clothes fit, how much more confident and comfortable I am in my own skin, how much more active and adventurous I am again, how I smile much more and more sincerely.

Those things give me a huge boost to keep me going!

I am all mad about Time and Again not turning out how I pictured it in my mind and everyone's being so nice I cryyy

#also it is not done yet #it's 3am and I wanna go to be-e-ed #this is my revenge bedtime #progress not perfection #make bad art or whatever #I don't really have that much left #already bled for the art have yet to sweat and tears for it #making things is frustration incarnate
