Television commercials can give you so much hope. Hope that "you too can lose weight!" Then I think about the food that it takes to be successful in these programs. How on earth are those diets practical?
You drink your lunch. mmm...Delicious.
You purchase dinners that taste like cardboard. mmm...expensive.
You have to continually count the "points" that your food is worth. mmm...math.
Congratulations to those who have lost weight on these systems. However, there is no miracle weight loss system that will keep you thin for life. I have considered dieting options. I have also considered that eventually I will need to eat real food again. Not just baked fish and broccoli, but REAL food. I will eat more than one piece of cake. I will eat one Pringle then another and another. Thats something those diet plans don't account for. All the slip ups and bad days.
What I need is to move. Dance, walk, go to the gym, play Wii, whatever it takes to get my tush off the cushy couch cushions. The only real way to make your body lose weight is to get busy and move.
...now where do you find motivation?
I have found the best motivation in a workout buddy or somebody to hold me accountable!
ReplyDeleteI had a workout buddy a couple of years ago, but she moved on to greener pastures. THEN she realized the grass wasn't as green on the other side and might be returning to be my buddy! :)
