I don’t know how many of you know I’ve been on a low to no processed food diet for two weeks. I mainly drink water or hot lemon water. I’ve also been exercising for an hour and thirty minutes daily. Stretching and cardio. This has not been easy, but very effective. The weight loss is slow, but it is there. My sleep is much improved. I just wish anxiety would cease, but one step at a time.
Did I want to do this? No, but it was necessary. My body can’t hold as much weight. I also have to wear braces that are heavy enough already. I need endurance and stamina to keep going which I’ve not had in awhile. The disabled body is not as sturdy as it once was. It is not forgiving either.
I’ve felt sluggish, tired, cranky, achy and every other ailment one can think of at the moment. I was in denial. Some days I still am. I also realized I don’t need to be skinny, but I need to be fit. I need to feel good in the body I was given. I’ve asked God for another one, but I’ve been flatly denied.
It also helps that I have a cheering section rooting me on. When you have others invested in your progress it makes a difference. Or maybe I got tired of fighting something I wasn’t going to win. It takes a long time to exit denial and go forward in acceptance.
I don’t know why I’m telling you this other than subconsciously I want a bigger cheering section, and maybe sharing some healthy recipes with me.
Love yourself and one another
