As the sluttiest of all holidays, Halloween is a great time to enjoy those weight loss results.
Here is what I look like now:
And here is what I used to look like just a few years ago:
Just in case you think I’m particularly strong in the willpower department, I can assure you that I’m not.
I’m also not particularly hard-working, never deny myself chocolate, and NEVER exercise unless I actually want to (that said, I enjoy walking).
I’ve struggled with weight for a long time, and it took me a lifetime to figure out what works for me. For me, it boils down to three things:
- Keeping bad stuff out of the house;
- Setting myself up for success (ie.. understanding the reality of willpower depletion, and knowing my own weaknesses);
- Eating mostly veg, and a little bit of everything else
This is not just about looks. It’s about empowerment, mental health, and also physical health. It’s about being a version of yourself that you are genuinely proud of.
Living a lifestyle that allows you to feel and look your best is not easy, but it’s also not that hard. Every person deserves to look as beautiful and vivacious on the outside as they feel on the inside. You just need to figure out what works for you. And never give up on yourself. Past results are NOT binding!
If you find yourself in a bad place now, just know that I’ve been there, and so have my friends and co-contributors to this blog. I don’t mean to say you’re not good enough as you are, but rather that you should live the full life you want to live.
You don’t have to lose a billion pounds this week, and you don’t have to run a marathon today. Just make one small change and stick to it this week. Next week, try another.
If I can do it, then anyone can do it. Put in the effort now, and make the small changes. By next Halloween, you’ll be strutting your stuff with the best of them 🙂
