IEven after doing this thing for about three years now, I feel I dont know how exactly my body responds in weight loss language. So I gain weight when I expect to lose and lose when I fear I've gained...But yes I am travelling in the right direction.<br /><br />Thanks for this post!Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16014512427704995796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366930371443550382.post-50509562411205445362013-11-26T20:45:08.160+00:002013-11-26T20:45:08.160+00:00'If you are not willing to give healthy living...'If you are not willing to give healthy living a fair chance you will find it more difficult to make it a lifestyle'<br /><br />It is good we all look at our lifestyle, there is always room for improvement, we are not all perfect all the time.<br /><br />We do need to take our own health and lifestyle circumstances into account and be fair to ourselves in living a healthy lifestyle.<br /><br />Eat real food, if you are diabetic keep your blood sugars low.

I think that people don't even know...Hi Tanvee! I think that people don't even know exactly what they are close-minded about--perhaps that it riles up their mind's values in general. A lot of people who don't exercise call it "lazy," but many of those people had messages from others to not spend time on themselves and/or that fitness was not a high priority. Those types of messages will subtly pop into people's minds, especially if this is a value shared by parents or another influential person, and it will cancel out their urge to exercise. Being receptive is a very hard thing to do. The more practice we have with being receptive and getting success from the experience, the easier it becomes. At this point, I know for a fact that other people have great advice for me, and when I use others' advice, I've had incredible success with it. People mostly want us to do well and will instruct us how to get there. <br /><br />On point 2: I'm about 4 pounds more than my lowest weight this year. Yet, this is the very best I've been at the gym all year. So I'm thinking if I were a weightlifter guy, they'd trade the 4 pounds for the better performance in the gym--any day of the year. This would be a no-brainer decision for them. So I'm going with the guys. I'm prioritizing to be good in the gym right now, rather than working on losing weight. :DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366930371443550382.post-70411284592163288482013-11-26T17:26:40.338+00:002013-11-26T17:26:40.338+00:00thanks Sheetal, that banana thing was just one exa...thanks Sheetal, that banana thing was just one example I had noticed in my life :) I was trying to say you need to be open to the idea of making that switch and giving the healthy option a chance, I have seen so many people who will not even give it a try because they know fruits can't replace desserts...but I feel sometimes they can if you give it a chance...Tanveehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09404674967792684516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366930371443550382.post-9477261767301785752013-11-26T14:40:18.687+00:002013-11-26T14:40:18.687+00:00Good post Tanvee!

So I would rather have another fruit! :) Thanks for sharing!Brownie on weight losshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975782534512211334noreply@blogger.com
