I have been overweight my whole life. I would go through stages where I cared that I was overweight mainly because I just wanted to fit in with the skinny people around me and other times I just could careless if I was overweight. I would tell myself "Why do I care what other people think" when truly I did it was just easier to say that because no matter what diet I tried I could never lose weight. But I learned over the past 40 years that is not a good reason to lose weight to impress people or to fit in. I think this was the reason why I never did lose weight but gained weight.
About two years ago, I started to realize I was getting older (not old but older) and that if I needed to start thinking about eating healthy for my health. My mom has and my dad had health problems that if I don't start thinking about what I am eating there is a good chance I could get these heath problems too. So I figured it was time to start eating health for myself. So I decided I could not do this all at once. So I started to take small steps in the process I started to lose weight slowly. It amazed me when I was trying to lose weight to be skinny I could not lose weight. When I stopped caring about losing weight started caring about my health I lost the weight.
I want to chronicle my lifestyle changes and weight loss and I hope that I can help someone with my chronicles.
I do have question for you all to think about. "Why are you losing weight and who is it for?" "You or someone else?" I think these questions are important to being healthy and losing weight.
