Well hey there girl! :wave:
Good to see you. For a minute i thought you had given up on us...or yourself..but you're here now and that it what counts!
So what i gather from what you have posted, is that you have been out of the loop for a while..NOT A PROBLEM. So lets get back to the basics:
1- Desire!
When there's a will, there's a way!! If you want something bad enough, you will MAKE IT HAPPEN. You will find ways around your busy schedule to get your workouts and your meals in.
2- Knowledge!
Educate yourself on the right foods to eat. I can understand you have been eating anything and everything and have a problem with willpower..BUT GUESS WHAT?! There are great tasting foods out there which could provide a healthy alternative to all the sugars and staturated fats in the food you enjoy!!
3- Fun!
Find something you enjoy doing on a daily basis! Like walking the dog! Make a habit out of that! The first and preliminary steps in living a healthier lifestyle is forming and KEEPING good habits. Once you get use to doing something on a consistent basis AND you begin to see results, you will get motivated!!
4-Motivation!
You HAVE to get motivated and that is what we are all here for! You keep coming back to us and we will ALWAYS give you the pat on the back that you need! We will always tell you how beautiful you are and how great you look which should be incentive for you to work harder and get psyched about the new and improved you!
We will teach you how to read food labels which will help you select your foods better!
We will teach you how to listen to your body and love what it can do for you!
We will teach you how to say NO NO NO NO NO when those urges to devour those ding dongs are overwhelming!
You start small and stay with it and i promise you, not only will you look better but you will feel alot better too! Feeling better about yourself will make you a do better at work, at home, make you a better mother AND wife !!
Nothing like the satisfaction of feeling GOOOOOOOOOOOOD in your own skin! Intoxicating!
So POSTEM UP! Dont you go vanishing on me now. NO EXCUSES. Post those pics up so we can get the ball rollin!!
