Figuring Out Why You Are Overweight
While on my weight loss journey, I learned a very important lesson about taking a good look at yourself. Losing weight is not just about exercising and eating healthy. You have to change your whole lifestyle and that includes the way you act and think, especially towards yourself.
You will never lose weight unless you can figure out why you are overweight in the first place. You need to do some soul searching while on your weight loss journey. You can exercise all you want, but if you don’t change your thoughts or your actions in your life, the weight is going to come back on.
One way that you can figure out why you are overweight is to keep a food journal (I will explain how to keep one later in the week). Another way is to just keep a personal journal. Write down what you are thinking that day and what you feel. You may be surprised at what insights you find out about yourself. Once you determine why you are overweight, you can work on plan to change your life and get healthy!
