Hey guys its me and lately i've been feeling that some people are SO focused on their weight around here that its driving them either into depression (its easy to do that when loosing weight) or insanity (also equally easy to be driven into) so i thought that i would just share with you my whole outlook on loosing weight. Now, some of you wont agree with it and some of you might even want to try what im doing but either way i just thought i would post it. It might help someone. When i go about loosing weight i admit that i am not as serious as i could be. Now some of you might already think im not committed but thats not true. If i cheat then i dont get depressed and go into a selfpity me eating craze like i used to. If i dont do some kind of exercise i dont beat myself up about it. I just keep in mind that tomorrow is another day. Boy that sounds corny, trust me i know. But when i simply keep the word diet in my mind i dont feel so bad. Some people out there take loosing weight so critcally and hey maybe im not taking it as critically as i should but just the fact that i keep one trying everyday makes me feel good. At least im thinking about eating healthy. At least im making an effort to exercise everyday. And if i dont then oh well. Now just to put things straight im not a person that wants to loose 15-20lbs for summer or anything. In fact im probably morbidly obese but this is what works for me. It keeps me from going insane about what i can eat and what i cannot. Maybe I'll help you. And thats my two cents i'll shut up now
