I have decided to or realised that I need to, I’m not sure which, immerse myself in health and fitness if I want to stay focused.
I know that some people think that it is better be more balanced and not get obsessed with something. That is fine if you are able to keep yourself motivated and on track. However I am not great at that. I forget that I am being focused and motivated and I just fall off the wagon.
So I have decided to become obsessed with my health and fitness and wellbeing.
I realise that this could make me quite boring to other people, but hopefully it will be a relatively temporary thing and I’m hoping I can pretend to other people to be normal and talk about normal things to people. But in my own head, and with my own people, I am going to focus on staying on track. I have over three and a half stone left to lose, I can’t afford any slip ups or falling off the wagon. I need to stay on this and lose this weight, once and for all.
Already I have set up my Instagram (new to me) to be following people I find motivational and inspiring. I have discovered podcasts and I am listening to one particular person from start to finish, because I am finding myself nodding along with him and his experts on every single one of the podcasts. I like finding people who are of the same opinion to me and in health and weight loss, I believe in less processed foods and more whole foods, and a lot of the weight loss industry is angled at fat free and processed food. I am listening to podcast after podcast and telling my husband all about them and trying to think back to what was said to focus my attention on the positive steps to make.
I’m in it to win it this time! I am going to lose the weight and keep it off. There’ll be no more yo-yo-ing back up and down. I am losing this weight slow and steady with lifestyle changes and I will get it off and gone. I can do it, and I will do it, and I am in the process of doing it! π
