Getting A Balance in My Life..
I really needed The Biggest Loser show Tuesday night. The trainer was talking about having a balance in your life while trying to lose weight. That's my problem and I need to fix it!!! I am either being a fanatic about what goes in my mouth, weighing too much and being down on myself when I eat the wrong things or I swing to the other extreme of just plain not caring. I need a balance.
It hit me like a ton of bricks!! I was being too hard on myself. Pushing myself to the limit and I finally gave in to it. The trainer was telling Tara that she had went too far one way...becoming obsessed with exercising and not ever eating off. She told her she needed a balance because you can't just stop living life while being on a diet. She even took her out to get a drink (which I don't do anyway...I have other "vices" that destroy me). Anyway, it became real to me. I always knew it was a lifestyle change, but something about it being a balance just hadn't occurred to me until the show.
Hopefully, I can get a balance and stick with it better. That's what I'm going to try and do anyway.
Thanks for listening!!
