How would you like to have a healthier you without taking a whole lot of time out of your day? Well you can! You have to start by setting your mind to reshape your body...and here is how. First you need to set forth good habits.
Most of us eat at will when our minds are bored and our bodies are inactive. The end result: An unhealthy amount of weight...an unhappy person...and an uncontrollable hunger. When we vegetate our bodies have nothing better to do than store the fat from the foods that we intake, therefore leading to obesity. Our bodies are screaming at us for a change through health related problems such as diabetes, heart conditions, cholesterol problems, breathing problems, etc. Now is the time to CHANGE!
Lets get started with an important part of a healthier YOU. The BRAIN! Yes the brain. In order to become healthier, you have to overcome the obstacle that you see before you, and that is the rather large entity that has grown over the years. In becoming a different person you need to develop healthy thinking on top of your new habits. You need to keep up your self esteem, for a healthy self esteem will keep that inner self burning to reach your ultimate goal. You need to give yourself a pat on the back and good comments on a job well done. Treat yourself to a new pair of pants or a new top when you have reached a goal. Healthy living has its benefits in the endaextending your life!
The first change you need to make to find a healthier you is to reduce your consumption of high calorie food, and replace them low-calorie, nutrient dense foods. If you were going to have a cheeseburger and fries, you can skip the fries and have a garden salad with low-calorie dressing instead. If you like chicken nuggets with creamy pasta, try having chicken breast with vegetables and a high-fiber bread, or replace that creamy pasta with a low-fat marinara sauce. Instead of take out pizza, try some oven baked fish with rice and a small salad instead.
Somehow, you have to train yourself to exercise when you are bored, instead of eating. Give sports a shot. You need to go outside and get some fresh air; plan some physical activity with your best buds instead of sitting in front of the television or computer. If you're stuck inside, get a stationary bike and pedal like crazy while you watch your favorite shows. You can even try to explore your local mall, or if nothing else pace around the house; any kind of moving around is way better than sitting.
Write down everything you eat so you are sure of what's going in. Lots of people gain weight by noshing in front of the television with a big bucket of chicken. Portion your food and write it down. Because it's a lot easier to keep track of how many calories you are taking in if your food is portioned. It's time to get out of denial about how much food you really eat. Lots of overweight people claim they don't really eat much food, but sometimes they eat a lot without knowing it.
It's also a good idea to keep a log of your activities so you can be aware of your progress in getting more active. There are many books available to help you log your activity, and there are also many websites that will help you log your activities and count the calories you expend in your activities.
Donat be afraid of failure! Everyone is going to have their bad days. Pick yourself upaKeep track of your food intakeaYour log of activitiesaAnd DONaT give up! This may be the most important thing you do for yourself in your lifetime. It may be the one thing that saves your life. Rememberado you want to live healthier? Or do you want to make early plans for your burial?
