So...I want to be healthy. I want to feel better. My stomach always hurts, and I am always so so tired. My hormones are completely out of whack! I am about 25lbs heavier than I would like to be. While this DietBet sounded like a good idea...Well, I gotta be honest...I can certainly eat right and exercise over the next six months and lose that weight and win some money...yay me. Been there, done that (well except for the winning money part! lol) but seriously...
Unless I can come up with something that is a lifestyle CHANGE that is sustainable, I will gain it all back and be miserable again... Restricting calories and eating salad constantly is NOT going to be a long term thing in my life. It's too much work, too much effort, too too much...I will get discouraged and quit. I know me. I've done this back and forth thing for way too long. Exercise? HA! Unless I find something that tricks my brain into thinking it ISN'T really exercise, I won't do that either. I HAVE to find something that I enjoy that is active...and a diet that is sustainable.
So many diets out there. I don't get it. Been there, tried most. So...most recently...(well...yesterday) I was reading about Food Combining. That makes some logical sense to me, however, I don't know how my body will respond. If it responds well, I think it would be sustainable. Eat everything at different times. I can do this. Less thinking, less stress...and maybe, just maybe my stomach will stop being so mad at me! So far today, my stomach has been ok. We will see after dinner. =)
Those are my thoughts. Everyone is different. Oh and about exercise...unless I'm moved to a beach (oh, La Jolla Shores, how I love thee) where I can run in the sand every day, well...the exercise will always be a battle. And even then...I may just plop my towel down and watch everyone else running by, while I soak in the sun! Sigh. Truly, my hope is that if I can get a sustainable diet down that I will feel better and exercise won't be so daunting.
