I’m writing this as a gentle reminder to myself and anyone else who may need it on this journey:

Stop obsessing over what you see in the mirror. Stop obsessing over the numbers on the scale and on the measuring tape.

Stop thinking that just because you aren’t seeing instant results that this new healthy lifestyle isn’t worth doing. Doing things that will ultimately kill you is what’s really not worth doing. It’s not just about not feeling attractive. It’s about not being able to walk up stairs or play ball with your kids.

Just sitting around eating junk food is how you got here. You will not get to this new goal by doing the same thing. Results = accumulation of actions

Focus on switching your mind to wanting to eat better and be more active. Research why these things are important so that you will be more mindful with how you treat your body. Make small changes to your diet. Drink more water. Cook your own meals. Add vegetables to your meals. Start simple workout videos at home.

Speak kindly to yourself. Don’t be your own bully.

Do it for you or you’ll never want to stick with it.

Remember why you started. Remind yourself why you can’t quit. Think “How bad do I want to change?” Then Prove it. Xoxo
