I am feeling really good about life today. Life is so precious yet we take it for granted far too much. We let life go on by without appreciating the beauty it holds. The birds singing , the beauty of the seasons , the sky , the people . We often don't take the time to talk to that old woman at the bus stop who has an abundance, of knowledge and experience from life. Life knowledge has a lot more depth than intellegence. I never have really looked upon myself and thought I am intellegent . I have always classed my intellegence as being average I wasn't top of class at school but then again at school I was rebelious and never put my whole heart into my education. It wasn't until I went onto sixth form college 16-19 that I actually started to excel and get those A's. I think I got those A's because I was studying the subjects I had passion for at A'level and as a result of my passion I put in hard work and determination and I did exceptionally well and didn't have limit my choice for university for my nursing . I am glad I did my A'levels now because If I didn't god knows how I would chosen a career path after the accident. Everything happens for a reason and the reason I still not discovered the reason but i am sure it will serve its purpose along the way in my life
Sometimes we don't do anything with the life were given just same routine day in day out . But thats ok if you are happy and apprishiate life but sadly a few people I know don't , they are just stuck in this rut. Positive attitude will get you far it will give you that inner strength to excel yourself that much furthur . You can't really achieve anything if you are not positive about it in the beginning. Never do anything in life for someone else . Whatever that is whether it is education, getting healthy, fit, career change, family , house , money etc. whatever it is you have to do it from within because you want to to succeed. I know that for sure. Many years ago people in my family were nasty to me to lose weight trying force me to diet and yes i did it and lost 6 stone because I was pushed into it but i rebelled after and put it all back on plus more but then something clicked for me and I decided to do it for and when that clicked It became part of my life that my life and it became easy to do so. Losing weight isn't hard it just takes discipline and being able to make the right food choices but also to exercise regularly and to not drink too much caffine or alcohol. ALcohol is a big contributer to weight gain because it contains so much sugar and calaries. It may not have the fat content but realistically its calories and sugar that count aswell as fat. When your over weight even by a stone or two or ten stone whatever the amount doesn't really have a factor the factor is you and It makes you become depressed, low self esteem, feel unworthly, feel your life is one long road to no where, you see no direction. However research shows that eating junk foods, foods that are high in fat and sugar is why you feel this way . Why deprieve your self of all those gorgeous fruit and vegetables, for a replacement of junk low self concept and depression that go with junk food. comfort eating will not get rid of your issue it will only make it worse so why do it. When I think back over my life and my eating habits my eating habits started getting bad from about age 13 when you have that much more freedom and gradually got worse that sneaky chocolate bar after school turned into 2 or more then the healthy meals mum made changed to chips from chip shop or a kebab as i wouldnt go home til 8pm as i got older they got worse til i hit 17 when I joined slimming world the first time. I changed my eating habits completely for fruit, veg, pasta, rice, pulses, very low fat cottage cheese, yoghurts, milk and lean meat. In my first week with slimming world I lost 5 pounds and continued losing well up to feb 2002 and lost total of 6 stone. Then I moved to london to university and the weight crept back on. Then after my accidentt I decided to do something about it. I had a few failed attempts but I can now say I am focused , losing weight, exercising , have a sleep pattern. I am determined to see this through and get down to 9stone which is the ideal weight for my midget height of 5ft3 . I am determined to be in a healthy BMI . I know now that this journey to lose the pounds doesn't have to be plain sialing to reach the destination. I know I don't have to put pressure on myself week in week out to lose 5 ,6 7 or more pounds a week. i know by losing 2-3 pounds a week I will still get to target, I will still be happy and content but more so i will be healthier losing it this way than the extreme way i have done the majority of my journey.
Why am i an extremiest i can not answer. But it is one the things i am willing to explore along this last phase of my journey. I think the last phase will probably be the hardest phase because now its time to deal with the emotions around my weight . Why did i get fat? It's all things I am going to have to explore in order to combat why i keep gaining weight . I need to find that happy place again. I deserve to be happy. i will be happy. I will be thin. I will be fit. I will be healthy and I will be confiedent in my own skin. These are things that will take time but they will happen. I am willing to do it . I deserve to do it. I don't know how long it's going take me to get fully back in the head space I was in the summer but i know will get back there and be happy again. I just wish i started exploring my emotions to my weight from day one so I wasn't launched with them all at once but I wasn't prepared at time to do so.
