How would you like to have a healthier you without taking a whole lot of time out of your day? Well you can! You have to start by setting your mind to reshape your body...and here is how. First you need to set forth good habits.
Most of us eat at will when our minds are bored and our bodies are inactive. The end result: An unhealthy amount of weight...an unhappy person...and an uncontrollable hunger. When we vegetate our bodies have nothing better to do than store the fat from the foods that we intake, therefore leading to obesity. Our bodies are screaming at us for a change through health related problems such as diabetes, heart conditions, cholesterol problems, breathing problems, etc. Now is the time to CHANGE!
Lets get started with an important part of a healthier YOU. The BRAIN! Yes the brain. In order to become healthier, you have to overcome the obstacle that you see before you, and that is the rather large entity that has grown over the years. In becoming a different person you need to develop healthy thinking on top of your new habits. You need to keep up your self esteem, for a healthy self esteem will keep that inner self burning to reach your ultimate goal. You need to give yourself a pat on the back and good comments on a job well done. Treat yourself to a new pair of pants or a new top when you have reached a goal. Healthy living has its benefits in the endaextending your life!
Change #1: Take high calorie food and replace with low calorie foods. IE: Cheeseburger and Fries-Garden Salad w/Low calorie Salad DressingaMicrowave Creamy Pasta and Chicken Nuggets-Grilled Chicken Fillet w/Fresh vegetableaTake Out Pizza and Bread Sticks-Oven Baked Fish w/Rice and a small salad.
Change #2: Take those times of boring sitting periods and turn them into fun exercise periods IE: Instead of sitting and watching television-Take a walk/better yet have someone walk along with you (drive your car and mark out a mile distance)aInstead of sitting and playing on the computer for 2 hours-Go and play an activity in the backyard such as volleyball or badmintonaInstead of laying down in bed and watching television-Go to the beach and go swimming and/or walk the beach.
Write down everything you eat so you are sure of what's going in. Lots of people gain weight by noshing in front of the television with a big bucket of chicken. Portion your food and write it down. Because it's a lot easier to keep track of how many calories you are taking in if your food is portioned. It's time to get out of denial about how much food you really eat. Lots of overweight people claim they don't really eat much food, but sometimes they eat a lot without knowing it.
To keep yourself in track, make a log of your physical activities so you can be aware of your exercise progress. There are books that help you log your activity, and also many websites that help you log your activities and count the calories you burn.
Never fear failure; expect it. You will probably fail multiple times before you reach your goal; that's just the way it is. Those failures are the loss of small battles in an overall war for your longevity and health. You must stay the course on your path to health in order to win the war. We all have bad days. If your boyfriend yells at you, and you get angry and plop down in front of the TV and eat too much chocolate or slurp down a whole gallon of ice cream, it is absolutely not a reason to beat yourself up about it and quit. Slipping up is just a signal that you aren't there yet. Throw out the rest of the gallon of chocolate chip cookie dough and pick yourself up and right get back on track, instead of making excuses and falling back into the pattern that got you sick in the first place. - 15266
