No more ice cream(I was on a pint a day kick for awhile),no more fried foods,smaller portions,no soda of any kind (drank diet soda) now I try to drink at least a gallon of water a day.More fiber,more veggies,more fruit.Make a real effort to move more,parking farther away,get up to go get something.
I once read one of Covert Bailey's,most know him from the health rider commercials.He talks about a study they did having fat people and fit people doing the same tasks.They found fat people were experts of economy of movement.So I wanted to change that.Once I lose at least 75 lbs then I will go from walking to back to the gym.
Im trying very hard to express my feelings more,I tend to swallow them and that leads to overeating for release. Im also taking supplements to boost my serotonin levels, so my cravings have gone down dramatically. Im going to be taking meditation classes to keep centered. I get crazy over stupid shit and I want to change that.
My main motivation is I'm tired of being tired all the time and just dont feel comfortable with myself anymore physically. So its going to be a slow change,I figure it will take about 2.5 yrs. Would rather do that and learn about myself,then lose it quickly and in three yrs Im back where I started.
