Motivation

[Bowyn Aerrow]

I need to get motivated and actually start doing things.
I never go out.(self concious and scared of local yobs)
I never Exersise
I never eat healthy.(Picky eater/still live with parents who eat unhealthy)

I just want to become motivated enough to lose some weight.
I'm so unhealthy i'm suprised i'm not twice the size i am now....or even bed ridden.:frown:

What do i do?
Just ignore all my self concious thoughts and everything and just go outside and......run?
Or is there some kind of mental build up to this?
I just feel so trapped and....well...like i'll be fat forever.
I just want to be ok looking at least once before i kick the bucket.:frown:

Are you kidding? just go outside and run? You will kill yourself - it not literally then metaphorically. :eek:

No you need to set realistic baby steps.

Instead of looking at your whole diet and seeing that everything needs to change, do one thing - one teeny-tiny change today. If all you eat is fried foods and process foods, buy a bag of fruit and commit to eating at least one (just 1) piece of fruit with your big meals - eat that first, then eat the rest of your food until full.

Get out and run? No - but do get out and walk - be it to just the mail box and back, its a teeny-tiny step, a minor change.

Next week walk to the end of the block - or around the block each day. Set reasonable, small goals always pushing a little further.

Do not commit to a lifetime of change. No one can endure 'forever'. Instead commit to 'just for today'. Plan your day, not your life. Aim to make it through today doing 'something' good for yourself.

Its up to you. You CHOOSE to be a picky eater. I bet you hate broccoli, cauliflower, lettuce and all of the good stuff and just love the fats and sweets. These are CHOICES.

No you do not have to deny yourself the fat and sugar foods, but do cut back on them, save them as treats as they were - at one point in human history, supposed to be.

You are in a circle of pain here, you refuse to go out because you look at yourself and say 'I'm fat and ugly' and you stay fat and ugly because you do not want to go out.

So let me set your first tiny goal.

I want YOU to GO to the local public library and check out this book:

Bodystat: How to Reset Your Fat Thermostat Permanently
Eric Witt (Author)
Carol Wirth (Author)

Buying a copy off the internet is cheating, go and get a copy from the public library. Walk, take a bus, walk in, get a library card if you don't have one, check the book out, carry it home and read it from cover to cover. I will let you judge if the authors make any sense about the human body and how it acts and reacts to food.

Take that first step.
