I LOSE BIG

OK the title is a little miss leading. I didn't mean to sound as if I am a big loser, or that I was robbed or something, unless you say losing 10 lbs is being robbed then rob me again!

I have decided that dieting is just not for me. Instead I am going to call it a life change. Every time I decide that I am feeling too unhealthy and overweight I try to diet... I lose some pounds and then go back to what I was doing and eating before. Well not again, this girl is going to make a choice for good, to become healthier and to incorporate exercise into my life. I am tired of feeling sick and bad about myself.

I started about two weeks ago and I have not only, just tried to watch my calorie intake, but I am trying to have portion contol. One plate and it can't be heaping, and not to much of one thing. I can say that I am feeling better about myself and my body is thanking me for this choice to be healthier!

I have also realized that it is a process and to not beat myself up if I choose to have a treat once in a while, or to continue to eat things I love, but instead try to make those choices more healthier. I also figured that reading the scriptures and praying for help, staying close to Heavenly Father is helping me be better on this life change. I want to take care of the body that God gave me. Third I find writing down my progress and keeping track of my calorie intake has helped a lot too. I can always go back and look at what I have accomplished and those feelings I had.

I have a father that I love so very much. He has diabetes, and is heavy. I see how tired he is and I don't want to be tired like that or have to give myself a shot everyday to check my sugars or give myself insulin. I think in a since my dad has soon me what I don't want to happen to me. I love him and I hate seeing him so tired and seeing him not feel so good all the time.

I am calling this a life change because I don't want it to be just a one time for a short period of time I want it to be something I work at doing always.
