I'm jumping onto the bandwagon. We're 6 days into the new year and I'm once again trying to get back in shape. As embarrassing as it is to admit, I actually hit a record-high weight of 78 kilos and is officially tagged as obese. Just last night, I finally felt its repercussions and that's when I realized that I really need to get back on track.
Starting again is never easy. Last time I felt motivated, it took me a few months to really begin. It took me a whole lot of deal looking through diet tips on the internet. What a stubborn mind I have, right? But I guess I've taken into consideration the extremity of my current situation that I think things will be easier this time... hopefully.
So this morning, I took out my best ally, the sauna suit; put it on; and decided to do my personal version of a workout - general cleaning. It may not be as reliable as an actual trip to the gym but for now, it compensates. It's like hitting two birds in one stone. I get to sweat profusely, and I get to help my parents with the house chores - albeit looking like a walking garbage bag. HAH!
As for the food I'm eating, I decided not to do a crash diet. It had taken its toll on my body the last time I did, resulting to my obesity, so I'll have to be more careful. No pressure though. Just gonna eat less of everything and I'll be fine.
To be honest, I do not put so much focus on losing weight. I may be trying, but I've learned the consequences of forcing myself to do it. I'm practicing discipline but I'm not being harsh with myself, and I guess that's what makes things a lot easier. Being kind to myself indeed makes a lot of difference.
