I love Dr. Oz and I watch daily while I workout. It makes it easier to workout for sure. I am so not the type that loves to workout but I know I have to to keep me healthy and keep my weight off. So let me tell you about my recent weightless journey.
I have struggled since I have had kids to take the time to exercise and eat right. I almost felt guilty doing it or my children would bug me until I would get off the elliptical. I decided I needed to be more selfish with my time and also not caring what my kids thought about cooking healthy. It's probably about a year. I worked out and tried to loose and loose but it seemed like it was not coming off fast enough. I talked to my doctor and he said to do a 1200 cal diet. Wow I was amazed how quickly it came off. Did I also mention I hate working out especially because my muscles just get bigger? Well I didn't work out as much as I should but still stuck to that 1200 cal diet. It was awesome but I started seeing my skin flab (is what I call it) when I moved to West Haven I felt like I didn't have anyone. I started getting depressed. I decided I needed to really work out and get toned. It's only been about 3 months but lost inches but gained about 5lbs. My legs have gotten bigger as usual. So I have had the self esteem issues again. Looking at my legs saying to my annoyed husband "are my legs fat?" Then thinking like he would even tell me the truth. I have gone from extra large shirts to medium and small & Pants from a 31 to 27. I just realized it today when I was watching Dr. Oz that I should be happy with what I look like and stop using the F word (FAT) because I have worked hard and I will just keep on going. I also don't want my kids to use that word either. I know it's natural from being a girl to have the attitude "that I am fat" but at least my daughter would not hear it from her mom and maybe I can give her the confidence she needs. She tells me all the time already that she is fat and I know that it stems from me. My husband is always telling me I am beautiful and I tell him he doesn't need to lie or he is just being nice.
So are you up to the Dropping the F bomb challenge?
This means taking the compliments that people give you and not saying your fat, husky, etc. it will be really hard for me but....I am willing to try.
