I had never knew I could learn so much about my body in such little time. One of the keys to success is having knowledge! I thought I knew a lot about being healthy before starting Skinny Fiber, but to my surprise I was wrong! I have found it easier to look at things positivly instead of making it seem like a chore. You may ask what I am talking about, so here I will give you some examples. Instead of subracting from your diet, add to it: add healthy things like fruits and vegetables. If your not a huge fan, mix it in a meal, or make a shake full of fruits and vegetables! Lighten the foods that you eat, so instead of eating 4 slices of pizza, make your own at home, add veggies, and eat less slices then you normally would. Adding the fresh veggies helps you get fuller faster. Stop using those big plates when you are eating. Small portions on big plates make you think that you aren't going to get full, so you tend to put more on the plate then what you actually need. Use smaller plates, and the right portions! The same thing can be done with bowls and silverware. When eating that bowl of ice cream, use a smaller bowl and a baby spoon. I know it sounds silly, but with the baby spoon not only does the ice cream last longer, but your body is able to tell when you are full quicker. Spend more time at the dinner table while eating, instead of in front of the TV. Not only do you get to spend more family time together and talk more, but you don't have the distraction of a TV. You won't miss out on your favorite shows, you van just record them! Eating at the dinner table also helps you to be more concious of what you are eating, and how much. We tend to keep shoving food in out mouth while watching TV and ignore our bodies when they are full. Access eating isn't good for us at all, especially when they are not healthy choices. Stay hydrated! Dink an 8 ounce glass of water before each meal, and just watch the difference! It is important to keep water in our bodies, and if we don't we tend to fill up more on foods. Water can help us feel fuller as well. The bonus about water, you don't have calories adding up like that glass of juice, or maybe that can of soda! You really don't think about the calories that you add with beverages. If you don't like the taste of water, then you can fuse the water with fresh fruits! I'm personally in love with water fusing! Don't call a work out exercise! It makes us think of negative ways, and it makes it seem like a chore that we just don't want to do. Instead, think of it as a fun activity. Like I have said before, do a fun work out video, or just go for a walk and enjoy being outdoors! Put on some music when you are cleaning your house, and dance while cleaning! It doesn't matter if you can actually dance or not, but have fun! It doesn't have to be an exhausting or painful task! Once you feel how much better your body feels, it will just come natutally. According to the American Heart Association, we should be walking 10,000 steps a day! It seems a lot, but you would be surprised at how much you actually walk! Take the test! They have apps out there that track your steps. Try it out for a few days, and see where you are at. If you don't hit 10,000 steps a day, then going for that walk at night can help, or taking the stairs intsead of the elevator. Simple little switches can help you reach that goal!
I really hope that this has helped some of you out there. I love to share successful points that have worked for me with others. Being overweight is never easy, and it can take it's toll on you. Sometimes, we get to that point where we just don't think we can reach our goals. Well sitting around and not doing anything about it isn't going to get us where we want to be. It won't happen over night, but it will happen over time if we keep working at it! I want you to all know that you are not alone! Many of us go through the same issues. I use to suffer from anxiety and depression, but now that I am being more concious of my food choices, taking Skinny Fiber, and exercising more then I use to, I can now tell the difference. I have gotten my confidence back! I'm not afraid to get on a scale and see the numbers that are there. I can now get on a scale and be excited about losing weight! I can now measure my body and not feel bad about the numbers that are coming from it! I look forward to each morning that I wake up. And I look forward to what the day will bring me! I'm not that negative person anymore and I don't live day by day as if there is a huge thunder cloud over me. I am proud of who I have become! Just the little things make a huge difference! Its a step at a time to get where you want, and once you start seeing it, you are even more motivated then before. And I really hope that this helps others that were once like me! Take a picture of yourself before you start making a change! Even if you can't stand the sight of yourself, it will help. I did this before I started taking Skinny Fiber, and it was the best thing I had done. At the time i was disgusted at what I saw! But then a week into taking Skinny Fiber I took another photo! I didn't feel like I lost much by looking at myself, but the numbers had shown it, and when I did a side by side of my pictures I was amazed! I took the 90 day challege! So why don't you try it too?
