Its probably hard to actually admit to your self that your waist line being a little too wide is your fault. Its probably even harder to admit that you could have done something to prevent it from happening. DON'T beat your self up. There's hope. Its true your eating habits and lack of exercise caused your current weight predicament. However the good news, wait NO! GREAT NEWS! is you have the power to change it. Do not beat your self up about being over weight. Do not dwell on how you ate all the wrong things and over indulged and skipped all those exercises you planned on doing.
The way Forward!
Its very simple. Truly acknowledging that you control your weight is liberating. Its emancipating your self from the shackles that hold you back. It doesn't matter what happened at A that lead to B. Its only important what you do at B to get to C. Right here right now you can choose to be the person you already know you can be. The first step is submitting to the truth that I cant help you if you dont decide to help yourself. No one can change you but you. Its a voice deep in your mind that says I can do this. I want to do this & when that other voice tries to say you cant. TELL IT TO SHUT UP! Constant self affirmation and motivating yourself is how you win this.
This can be your path
How?
The easiest way is actually easy. At first I can say maybe you wont feel like its easy. But when you get into the habit of feeling good, Eating right and exercising. You will look good, feel Great and be healthier.
Step 1
The awkward conversation with yourself. Admitting to your self without self pity or self hate that your weight gain is your fault. Not beating yourself up about it but really understanding that what you created you can undo. You & only you can fix it.
Step 2
Diet & exercise. Commit to 30 days of healthier eating habits and exercise. Cut out snacks for 2 weeks. No cookies, No Soda, No Chips, No Junk. No juices with high fructose sugar.
Cut out Carbs!
No potatoes, No Bread, No Rice, No pasta for the whole 30 days.
I know its hard but that conversation you will have with yourself will include telling yourself then and every morning , afternoon and night you can do this. YOU CAN DO THIS!
After the 2 weeks, Give yourself 1 day a week to eat 1 or 2 snacks. BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF & DO NOT EXCEED this rule. Consider this day a reward for all your hard work & new dedication you making yourself healthy.
WHAT TO EAT?
Not hard at all. It actually simplifies your diet and makes it easier to prepare meals.
Simple! Any PROTEIN ( Meat that includes chicken, Beef, Turkey, Fish, eggs, etc..)Meat can be grilled, baked, broiled,rotisserie. Avoid fried. Any Vegetable.
Half your plate should be Vegetables. steamed, boiled, grilled,
Breakfast can be Eggs, Avocado, Chicken, or A steak omelette with spinach.
Fruit can be eaten but DON'T FALL FOR THE TRAP! Fruit is high in sugar which can turn into fat. So an apple a day or an Orange or Banana is OK. DO NOT EAT A WHOLE container of fruit or a bunch of grapes or fruit cups. They contain too much sugar and are not helping you achieve your goal. keep yourself honest.
Exercise
10 to 15 minutes a day 5 days a week.
I recommend Sat, Sun, being in that rotation of days.
Most people have weekends off. Giving yourself a healthy physical activity to do when you have more time is very helpful on this journey. If you can do more minutes do 20 or 25 but you honestly dont need more than that. SEE http://loveworksout.blogspot.com/2017/01/i-hate-long-blogs-no-excuses-exercises.html for a great work out routine you can use.
You can do this. You can make the change. If youre reading this you already have changed because you made the choice to open your mind. After the 30 days you will feel better be healthier and you wont want to go back to the old habits.
