A year ago I weighed 126. I just weighted myself today and I am now down to 114. I spent the better part of my life working out, eating heathy, trying to look "better", be more attractive. Now, I am losing weight each day. I can't keep food in my body. Nutrients go in and then they leave within 5 minutes and this is prior to any treatment plan on the horizon. Looking back, yes, I did wish for the magic pill so I could look like those models in the magazines, on TV or that lady on the beach with her string bikini, perfect breasts and flat stomach.
Why do most women (and men) spend their lives trying to find that perfect diet, magical pill or potion to make them look skinnier? Well, I was amongst the norm and now I wish I had just learned to not give a shit and just be. I should have just been the person God made me, ate what I wanted to eat (of course foods that are good for you for the most part), drink what I wanted to drink (alcohol included but with limitation), wear what I wanted to wear (I don't know how many times I wore clothes that looked good on me but they were SOOOOO uncomfortable!). For me it is no longer a choice, it is my life. I am wilting away even though now I try to eat what I want to eat, drink what I crave and wear what I like to wear.
Lesson learned....just be yourself and enjoy life because yes, life is short and we should spend every day just being our true self. You all are amazing creatures - both woman and men. Do not succumb to the social media hype, commercials, and gimmicks - Be Your True Self because one day you just may not be able to control what you can control today.
Why do we spend so much time in the gym,
Why is it that we feel we must keep slim,
On cycling, long hours we spend,
But, go nowhere, in the end,
It's really hard work this trying to stay trim!
We watch the calories as they mount up high,
And cannot seem to control our intake - Why?
We always need a snack,
This slimming, we can't crack,
The effort of trying really makes one cry!
We should be happy with the shape we are,
And just enjoy eating, our chocolate bar,
Magazine diets just make us blue,
So, just what are we to do,
We always seem to feel, well below par!
Perhaps a 'Personal Trainer' would be nice,
He'd have us slim and fit within a trice,
But these thoughts may be just dreams,
And we'll stay, bursting at the seams,
Because this slimming game, comes with a 'weighty' price!
