What they don't tell you about trying to get healthy and fit when you're neither is...
IT SUCKS!
I'm in my second month of trying to be healthy. For the most part, I do REALLY well.
Drink 60oz of water a day, fruits and veggies,
100% whole grain bread and ham sandwiches (no condiments), and baked chicken....
That's pretty much it.
The problem is that no matter how many veggies I eat...
I. GET. HONGRY.
Seriously.
And at the most random times.
(Which seems to only be when McDonald's, Taco Bell, etc. are the only things available to me!)
When I first started eating healthy, I felt full.
All the time.
But now that I've been doing it a while and I'm working out a lot...
Well, you know where I'm going with this!
And to be perfectly honest, I hated veggies.
Fruits are my homies but veggies...no bueno.
IT GETS BETTER!
I promise.
I'm cool with veggies now. We're not always tight but you have to lay the groundwork in a relationship before you really truly love and appreciate it.
And while all these people tell you to eat healthy, etc.
What they don't tell you is that IT'S NOT PRETTY!
Suuuuuure, once you've been doing it a long time you have gorgeous skin and glitter like Edward in Twilight.
But BEFORE you get there you WILL get blemishes on your face, you will be running to the bathroom A LOT (between all that water and flushing out your system), you're going to feel uncomfortable, you're going to get BIGGER before you get smaller, it's going to suck, you're going to want to cuss at EVERYTHING (even that bleeping paperclip that won't bleeping stop staring at you being all bleeping skinny and curvy and bleep!).
Ok, so maybe I'm being a little dramatic.
But it isn't pretty.
At. All.
Be ready for that. Cause I wasn't.
I didn't think I'd have to fight and push through to get healthy.
Because of that, I've slipped up a couple of times.
Which is OKAY!
YOU. ARE. HUMAN.
We are flawed by nature.
Don't sweat it if you slip.
Just sweat a little more the next day working out and you'll be fine.
Just don't make it an everyday kind of thing.
Duh. :)
That's my spiel.
Keep your head up. You're beautiful. You will get there!
