Along with a healthier mind and spirit is the obvious- body.
Today I attended a nutrition/weight loss class on base. It was a good little refresher! Eating "healthy" is definitely a struggle for me. My body is very much addicted to fat, sugar and carbs. I don't remember when it begin. Sometime after Dylan was born I suppose. I feel out of control sometimes and just want to eat everything in sight. And yet sometimes I am still not satisfied. I watch shows such as Heavy and I used to be fat and I really can relate to those people. I know, I know, some of you may read this and laugh because afterall It's not that I am morbidly obese but according to my BMI I actually am considered "obese". Blah- I hate that label. And people often tell me "Oh be quiet. You look great for having two kids". (1) I don't want it to be an excuse that I had two kids and (2)I know what I looked and felt like before the boys came along and I would like to be at that place again. Like yesterday. So I am working on snacking on better food such as raisins and on my portion sizes. For dinner I am eating not the healthiest of things but I am trying to just eat less of it. Little changes. Hopefully all that on top of going to Zumba three times a week will give me some results in the months to come. Wish me luck!

it's tough. I've suffered from stress and anxiety for several years (if not the majority of my adult life) and it can be really taxing on all aspects of your life. So {{HUGS}}. But you're doing a good thing, improving your diet and exercise is a FANTASTIC way to help. Hello endorphins! Keep it up hon and if you are ever looking for some easy, yummy, and low cal meal ideas, just let me know :)
Eating healthy is not easy or fun. But it is a good habit to have. Eventually youy body will adjust to the healthy diet and the next time you eat something that is unhealthy your body won't miss it. Try drinking a large glass of water before eating your meal. It helps you eat less and feel fuller. Also many times people mistaken being "hungry" for being "thirsty". Remember: it takes your body 20 minutes to recongize it is full. Drink plenty of water, eat slower and don't think about food. I eat to feed my body and not my desire for the taste of food. *Of course food should taste good but try not to meditate about the taste of food. "Mind over Matter" Good Luck Sista!
