The struggles many women face with dieting and exercise
The average person who weighs normally believes that they are overweight,
People who are overweight believe they weigh too much,
there is something about women and weight
There is something about our bodies that keep us trying to fix them,
I feel like we are constantly worrying about it
There is always just one more thing to do to be sexy
Exercise one more time
Eat green
Maybe a detox will fix me …those used to be me
My body will be perfect if I lose more pounds
The lives of many women are restricted in some way
It may be that they feel restricted in some way because they won’t do anything fun until they lose weight
It is always important for them to watch what they eat
The amount of food they consume
They are always concerned about their weight
The way they are viewed by others
Rather than being concerned about how you feel about weight,
they are concerned about how they should look based on the standards of others.
So they diet in the most gruesome way; it sad to see
Omad
Intermittent fasten
Long walks
Exercise
All in one day. And we celebrate living like this…..
Doing all that is far from healthy
It is the opposite of being healthy or living healthy
This leads down the path of developing a disordered eating habit
One minute you are starving, the next you cannot control how much you are eating
It hurts to see the amount of miss-information out there
And how little people know about fitness and health
And how do you find the energy to move and the joy to do anything?
Dieting is common, and it can be both helpful and harmful.
people of all weights and sizes are trying to lose weight
so it is not only a fat person’s problem
Dieting and exercise are simple but not very easy to get through if you know what you are doing,
most of our struggles stem from not knowing what we are doing.
Ask yourself these…
What do I know about the diet?
Do I know what I am doing?
Am I you just skipping meals hoping you will get lean
What does portion control mean to me?
How about the exercise program?
Are am only taking longer walks to lose weight,
Am I performing harder exercises to feel like I am working hard?
Am I performing exercises named after a body part?
or a cardio-based exercise in hopes that the number on the scale goes down?
Do the exercises I am performing feel good to Me?
Does it make sense to me?
Does my body feel good after?
There are lots of questions you can ask yourself, to determine if you are just wasting your time or doing meaningful work
are you just following a set of rules
Have the diet or exercise programs you have been doing taught you anything
do you think the process does not matter?
Or does it matter?
If most of your answers are no, then you are getting all wrong and causing yourself to suffer more than you should
If you cannot make sense of the process, you will struggle
and this will lead you down the rabbit hole of trying to control your body and how it looks
Diets work only when you know what you are doing,
The same goes for exercising
You have to work intentionally to get results because with results you are most likely to be discouraged
Before you jump on a fitness diet
It is vital to explore and learn about nutrition, not just to confirm what you already know,
learn the opposing principles, explore different food choices,
How does your body feel
Do you believe carbs are the problem,
Then study why carbs are the best thing, get your view on the two ideas…
Don’t stick to what is popular or what you have been sold, and make it the sole focus of your journey.
Explore different options. T
that’s where you find what works for you.
Trying to lose fat is not the problem;
the problem is who you become in the process
you dont have to make your life harder than it already is
