I got "this fat" from overeating. From making poor decisions day after day after day for years at a time.
Sometimes I'd wonder why I didn't do something about it sooner. Looking back, I realized I was afraid of deprivation. I was afraid that "changing forever" meant I'd never be able to eat normal foods. Or that I'd have to start running a marathon every day just to stay in shape.
I was so wrong. I was so wrong about changes needing to be extreme. For me it was about little things adding up.
Little things like simply writing down what I'm eating no matter what it is. Little things like taking a ten minute walk. No pressure, just a stroll. Just a little movement.
I had to banish all those "not doing enough" thoughts from my head. Every movement towards healthier is good. If I wanted that taco, then I'd make it.. but I'd be sure to use low fat cheese, and sour cream, and add lettuce and salsa onto it so that it was completely satisfying.
What can you do TODAY that is a healthier decision than something you chose yesterday?
