When I walk by food that I like I think “well should I, I mean It’s only one thing really, I’ll have plenty of time to make it up..” and so on. This is a cycle I need to break, to be firm in my belief that what I want is to be healthy, to lose weight. I need to aspire and be convicted to this cause. The central question to all this is how?
It’s true what is said about changing ones habits, that short-term just wont work. Changing the way one thinks is life long, it’s a matter of finding purpose and pleasure in what we do. Thinking I’ll eat less now to lose some weight will almost certainly fail in the long run, cause losing weight is short term, and once, or if, we accomplish our goal it’s all too easy to go back to the eating habits we had before. Instead we should focus on health and what that means for us and our quality of life.
When I walk past something I would like yes I still think about it but I make a decision to eat healthy and that’s what I end up eating. Does it matter if I don’t lose a lot of weight one week or the next, what if I don’t, will I be saddened by this and just give up my “weight loss”, or will I see the accomplishment of my goal, which is to get healthy week upon week. That’s the real mission we should have, to be healthy, and to treat weight loss as a by-product, not to be focused on but treated as a consequence to a healthy way of living.
