“Why do you want to lose weight?”

After many years of failed diet attempts, I finally came to the conclusion that being skinny didn’t equate to a perfect life. I once though that if I was skinny everything would be perfect and I would have the perfect life. Then, reality hit. Being skinny isn’t going to change everything. Yes, some things will change, but not everything.

When I started on this new diet healthy lifestyle I had in mind that this was going to be the way I led my life. By introducing healthy foods; lean proteins, lots of fresh fruits and veggies and whole grains. I incorporated exercise into my lifestyle.  This isn’t a quick fix, or a diet, that I will “go off of”, this is how it is going to be. I feel better, look better, and have lost 35 pounds as a result of my new lifestyle, and still going strong.  But, I know that when I get to goal weight its not like I can forget all I have learned, It’ll just be a continuation. 

I started WW to be healthy, to feel more comfortable in my body, to truly enjoy life more than I was before. I feel so much better off emotionally, physically, and everything else. It is amazing what it can change, but it isn’t a quick fix. It’s hard work, and I realize that now. I’m ingraining these things into my brain, they’ll be with me for life.
