One thing that has really got me concerned is the fact that I don't even care to look good when I get up and go to work everyday, I don't feel pretty in any way so why should I try to make myself look that way. It's like I've just given up on myself. My cloths don't fit the way I like so I buy cloths that are way to big just so they will cover my body and that way people can't see the actual me. I'm sick of hiding behind cloths and my weight, it may take me a year or 3 years to get to where I wanna be but so help me god I WILL do it!
I really wanted to learn how to eat the things my body needs to be nourished each day and what better place to look then what they tell the Biggest Losers to eat. I ordered a cookbook of Biggest Loser Recipes and I love it. I'm learning a lot about food, I'm not perfect and don't make the best choices all the time but I'm really trying to focus on what will make my body healthier and happier. Along with some of the recipes I have found I am also going to the gym every night, I'm out of shape but I've been determined and even if I only last 20 minutes I'm just happy I got off the couch for that short time in order to get my metabolism going a little.
Clearly in my last posts I'm not perfect in any way, but I am focusing on being a healthier person, I don't want my weight to hold me back from doing different things in my life (it has already affected quiet a few things and I refuse to let it ruin more).
My breakfast options have been:
-Whole wheat waffles with a little peanut putter and sugar free syrup, topped with strawberries
-Cream of wheat with pumpkin and cinnamon
-banana with peanut butter, kashi cereal on top and greek yogurt
Snacks:
-Whole wheat tortilla with laughing cow cheese and turkey rolled up
-yogurt with kashi cereal for crunch
-celery and peanut butter
-apple with greek yogurt
-postachios
Lunchs:
this one is hard for me cause I'm really bad at packing a lunch....
-Subway, I get a flatbread with turkey or chicken
Dinners:
-ground chicken meatballs and butternut squash fries
-cod with cauliflower mashed potatoes and broccoli
-Turkey tomato soup
These are all new things I'm trying, a lot of things I have read say that you should limit or even eliminate carbs after 3pm so I've been trying to come up with recipes for dinner that don't have carbs or much of them.
I'm loving the Biggest Loser Cookbook cause most of the recipes are pretty easy and don't require to much work involved cause usually by the time I get home I'm really hungry and don't want to spend an hour cooking dinner.
"Never let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game!"
I know I've talked about fear in a previous post {here}, but it seems to be a really big issue with people that struggle with being overweight, it's like fear is always holding us back. You may all laugh at me but I love to watch the biggest loser because it encourages me to be better and if they can do it so can I, but if you have noticed that almost all of them at some point have broke down and their biggest concern was with FEAR, the fear of being rejected.... and many other things, I'm so tired of hearing this and not being able to overcome it! We have to BELIEVE in ourselves, be trust that we are capable before we give up and throw in the towel. As I've said many times I'm not perfect but I'm trying to be better.
