Your new healthy lifestyle!

So you had the guts to change. Kudo's!

You're here because I told you to visit my blog, and you want to visit my blog because you want to become healthier and finally reach that weight you have been aiming for, for years.

To change your weight, means you need to change your habits. You need to change the things you put into your shopping basket in the supermarket.

You need to change the way you look at food. You need to change the way you FEEL about food.

That's where it all starts. Those dang thoughts of yours, that call you names, that say mean things about your appearance. And then you feel sad and guilty. Then your barriers of good intentions break down, and you find excuses to continue your bad, unhealthy habits. I know all about those, believe me!

My first steps toward a healthy lifestyle began with some new thoughts.

"Do I really HAVE to eat three big meals a day, with a large dinner, leaving me feeling bloated every single day?"

"Why am I so afraid of feeling hungry? Do I have to have a constant feeling of being full?"

"Why do I need to buy unhealthy snacks every single day? Do they help me in any way, really?"

"What if I at least once a week, replaced unhealthy choices, with healthy ones? Or at least less unhealthy ones?"

These questions gave me the courage to bit by bit, STOP tormenting my body with large meals every day and unhealthy snacks.

The first step to a healthy lifestyle is therefore: PORTION CONTROL.
You WILL NOT die if you made your portions a bit smaller at each meal.
You WILL NOT die if you replace snacks with something healthy. Start small. Be compassionate to yourself. You don't have to build Rome in a day.
