Honestly "why am I doing this?" Is a question I must ask myself 100 times a day. Everytime, I step in the kitchen and struggle not to put real sugar in my tea, or pop to the corner shop and practically have to pull my arm back from picking up a Mars bar, I question is it all worth it.
The thing is I like, in fact lets be honest I love food. I love to shop for it, cook it and most of all eat it. We can kid ourselves that all food is equal and if prepared correctly it tastes the same, but low fat margarine and butter are in totally different classes. Lets be honest, the most delicious things are the things that are so bad for us. Of course the the easy option would just be to stop eating but that is foolish and rather bad for you (believe me I've tried!) So I'm trying to change my habits and relationship with food. Once upon a time I would "treat" myself with chocolate or a takeaway, misguidedly thinking that I was doing myself some good. Recently though I've faced up to the fact that I need to "treat" my body in different ways. Ways that will benefit me physically and mentally.
We all know that being fat is dangerous, unhealthy, unattractive *insert negative word here* While some people say that being fat doesn't bother them it really does bother me. I hate getting out of breath while walking, I hate how wobbly I am. I want to walk into normal shops and pick up any outfit without having to squeeze into it. I can't stand the aches and pains I get and the fact that air travel terrifies me incase they ask me to get off the plane! This list could go on and on. These are the reasons why I am doing this.
Do you have a good reason why you are doing this?
