Amen.
It's a start of new month, pretty quick huh? I should be studying but it won't hurt just taking some time off to do some blogging right? hehe. Y'all should be studying instead of reading this stupid post anyway. Pssh
Alright, I'm gonna be talking about
weight/ fats or whatever you call it. I know there are millions of people out there who are weight conscious. I admit I'm one of them and it can really make life damn tough for you.You're just restricted to so many things. Can't eat this, can't eat that blah blah blah. It really makes me regret sometimes, like why did I even end of being weight conscious.
I'm pretty sure everyone has different reasons to lose weight. For me, I do it to feel better about myself, to be able to inspire people, to look good, for my health etc. I really hope those who are, are
doing it for the right reasons. If you're doing it to be more confident about yourself, or for the sake of your health then of course that's great. But if you're doing it because of peer pressure or because you hate your body then you might want to rethink it. First of all,
if you do it for the wrong reasons, it won't take you far. Sooner or later, you'll realise that, doing it just cause of peer pressure is merely just a waste of time.
It's the wrong form of motivation, ya get what I'm saying? Don't go to the gym just because you wanna fit in, because motivation like what won't take you far and you'll just end up back at square 1 again. So first of all, if you wanna finally start the "fit life", do it for the right reasons.
Do it for reasons that will motivate you the whole way and not just a period of time. Also, do it because you expect it from yourself
not what others expect from you. Sometimes, I'm like, "oh, people expect me to be fit and muscular and what what what." So I try my best to live up to them but then I stop and think again, I should be doing it for myself and not others. If you're gonna do it because other people expect you too then really, you're just wasting your time.
Secondly, I hope if you're trying to lose fats(let's use fats, not weight),
you're doing it the right way. Trust me, I've tried shitloads of ways to lose fats and
starving yourself really isn't one of them, skipping your meals isn't the right way either. When you starve, you're just trying to suppress you hunger, sooner or later, you're gonna be so damn hungry and during your next meal, you're gonna eat so damn much (most likely equivalent to what you would usually eat). It's unhealthy first of all because your body isn't getting what it needs. Second, you're gonna binge and make yourself so damn bloated plus you're increasing your appetite because you just eat like one shot. Skipping your meals will just end up to starving yourself then the cycle repeats.
Another thing also, is that I've tried like not taking fried food & sweet drinks at all in a month but when that month was over, holy shit, I ate so so much fried food, drank so much sweet drinks so I just suffered for a month for nothing and my cravings just got stronger. Such a genius right? So I came up with this way and it's been working so far. I only allow myself to have one sweet drink a week. It helped me reduce my cravings for sure. Or if you're like eating healthy, maybe have a cheat meal a week so that you don't constantly crave for it. These are not like scientifically proven ways or whatever,
it's just what I think that will work for people who are trying to lose fats in general. So, if you wanna lose fats, do it the right way. Cut down on sugar and fatty food. Increase the veges, drink more water, do more exercise. It's simple. Why torture yourself by starving when you can just take 30mins of your life to do some exercise.
Don't be lazy. Results will only come if you work for it.
Also, there's something I like to clarify. Ladies & gentlemen,
the number on your super ordinary, not complex weighing scale
does NOT tell you "HOW FAT YOU ARE". It tells you your mass not how much fats you have. Take that idea
It's better to be heavy because of muscles and not fats.
and throw it away. Think about it, a super muscular guy can weigh like 90kg. Is he fat? No right? It's because of his muscles! If you didn't know, muscles are twice the weight of fat. If you're gonna measure your weight, I suggest you use those weighing scales that shows you your fat percentage (if you're really super into to knowing your fats) if not, you can just take picture progress. It's not accurate but you can see differences(not super extreme ones, give yourself time)
Before I stop my super long ass post, I would like to tell all of you that I'm not saying "Everyone must be slim and do tons of exercise and blah blah blah" No I'm not, I encourage everyone to exercise & STAY FIT. Not get skinny or whatever.
Everyone has different preferences or views so it's really up to an individual how he/she sees it. You can disagree with whatever I say, it's fine:) The aim of my post is just to stop people from thinking that heavy= fat. It's not. All in all,
just be healthy.You wanna live long don't you?
Love Rachel*
