10 Reasons Why You Should Not Give Up On Losing Weight Now

I am a super massive mama in real life. My audience used to comment on my picture, 'oh you look just good, 'you don't look like you need to lose weight.' Picture can lie. You can stand in specific angle and look just better than in real life. Friends use to asked about my weight loss progress, since I post alot about weight loss inspiration on social media, and to answer that, yes my weight goes down and up, down and up again, and now up and up and up! I feel like I just wanted to blame the hormones, blame the metabolism, the food ads on TV, blame my love for unhealthy food or my lack of daily exercise. Or maybe let's just say it is an inevitable part of aging. All this weight loss drama made me so want to give up the idea of losing weight.

What is a dream that you feel like giving up on?

Alright yes. I have given up at one point. But giving up on my ultimate dream to lose weight is not something worth doing. I need to remind myself to "never give up on a dream because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway." ~Earl Nightingale 

To re-inspire myself, I make a list: 10 reasons why you should NOT give up on losing weight now.

1. Because it's going to be worth it

I have a long list of why I want to lose weight but the most serious reason why I want to lose weight is because to improve my health and to improve the quality of life. I want to be able to playing with the kids and chase them all around without getting tired easily. I want to reduce the risk of diabetes. I can't afford to be sick for the sake of my children. I know if I push through the discomfort, it always be worth it in the end.

2. Because you are not failing, just taking up the wrong route

Losing weight may require trial and error. What works for others does not necessarily works for you. If other people running and lose weight, you don't have to force yourself into running to lose weight if you enjoy zumba or crossfit more than running. You may try all sorts of diet to lose weight and when you've found what's easy and what's hard, start working your way up from there. 

We are in an era where all information is at our fingertips. Nothing wrong with knowing all these kind of weight loss knowledge, but what matter most is you should spend less time planning and devote more time doing. Why not tweak your strategy by narrow down all the knowledge you discover and start again from a less overwhelming space? One baby step at a time like drink more water, do some squats before sitting down or avoid junk food.

3. Because success isn't rewarding if it's easy

"There are no shortcuts to any place worth going." ~ Beverly Sills

The most difficult things bring the biggest rewards. You want that kind of motivation you had when you first started, but the sad truth is that motivation is a fleeting feeling that always fades over time. When things get difficult, remember the rewards and remind yourself of why you're doing this. Use SWOT analysis to review or to confirm your weight loss goal. You can't possibly make something happen if you don’t know exactly what you want, your strength, your weakness. You didn't want to walk away before you give yourself every opportunity to succeed, did you?

4. Because worst thing might happen if you give up and don’t reach your goal

You will never know how far you could have gone if you quit now. You’ll miss out on being the person you’d become through the effort if you give up now. And I believe losing weight and being fit is the sweetest revenge to the people who always make fun of you because of your weight.

5. Because you are not afraid of losing weight

Are you afraid of losing weight? Are you afraid of  succeeding at weight loss?

I'm too scared to lose weight if I end up with loose skin.

Losing weight may also mean losing friends. 

Losing weight will age me. 

Can I maintain my weight loss for the long term? 

You want to give up losing weight now because you're afraid about the future, about your weight, or maybe you're tired of dieting so you want to play it safe. Alright, you won't disappoint anyone if you give up on trying to get healthy and lose weight now but you also won’t inspire anyone, nor help or inspire yourself. Putting your fears aside never easy, but it is an important step in your weight loss journey.

6. Because the feeling to give up is just an emotion not thinking things through

Sometimes the feeling to give up is an indication that you're on the right track. You're trying to lose weight and having problems succeeding, then it may be time to change your approach to exercise and learn how to improve your diet. If you act in that moment of frustration, you may regret it once the wave has passed.

So sit back and take note of what you’re feeling.

7. Because you don't have an honest explanation to to give to your loved one for why you gave up

Would you like telling your children, "I decided not to replace my unhealthy eating habits with a healthy one so you can follow my example and inherit my unhealthy body image?"

Would it be fun to tell your husband "I stopped trying to lose weight because I don't bother to look attractive anymore, I am too busy with taking care of everyone else around me to look after my own health?"

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fattest of them all?" 

8. Because your life would not be better if you gave up

Think about your weight loss goal carefully, is this really a good thing? Weigh all the consequences of its fulfillment. Because not all weight loss goals are helpful. Perhaps your goal is completely unrealistic — for example, losing 10 pounds a week. Unrealistic goals will only set you up for disappointment. Drop the goals to a better and much more doable goals. 

9. Because you are not putting in enough effort

Take some time to think about your weight loss plan and then rank the importance of losing weight on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being most important and 10 being least important).

Compare these two things:

• Where you ranked the importance of weight loss 
• How much time and energy you spend in the pursuit of it - exercises, balanced meals, sleeping time, managing stress, etc.

Are you really willing to let your dreams go because you don't believe in yourself? How much money and time have you devoted? How many sacrifices have you made?

10. Because you want someone to look at you and say 'Because of you I didn't give up'

Would you tell your diet buddy to throw in the towel because it's impossible for her to reach her goal? Or would you help her see what you see in her potential? Push yourself beyond what you think your limits are and be strong because no one else is going to do it for you! Because you never know who you are inspiring. Because you are your own best cheerleader and you deserve YOUR belief and motivation more than anyone in this world.

Weight Loss Commitment: 5 Signs You're Afraid of Commitment

Commitment refer to a promise to do something, or to give something. Making commitment means dedicating yourself to someone or to a cause. Making a true commitment to weight loss and health means making a lifelong decision to eating well and regular physical activity, stay devoted to what you want and stand strong no matter what the obstacle.

To be honest, after had my baby boy 4 years ago I am still struggling to lose weight. I just update a quick recap of my weight loss journey here. It's frustrating to see how far I still have to go. I feel unsettling. I take time for self-reflection and come to a conclusion that I want to lose weight and get healthy but the fear of commitment is ruining my weight loss goal.

Weight Loss Commitment: Why are you afraid to commit?

The reason can be summed in one sentence. You don’t want change...because change requires some stretching out of our comfort zones.

[ Read: What To Do When Life Doesn't Seem to Be Working For You.]

Do anyone feel like I do? You don’t want a new change in your routine because you’re afraid you may not like the change. Or you're afraid of failing.

What if I don't meet my weight loss or fitness goal? I will be a laughing stock in front of my peers, family or relatives. 

But instead of confronting the real fear of change, you look for a million reasons to justify why you should stay away from commitment. And without realizing it, you'd start looking for excuses just to rationalize your action.

5 signs you’re afraid of commitment

#1 One life. Just real food.

No more burger? Chocolate? Does the thought of a complete abstinence from junk foods scare you? Losing weight or to get healthy is a lifestyle change. While diet is all about numbers on the scale, number of calories you eat and burn, healthy lifestyle is about lining up your eating and physical activity with your real goals and desires. Once you adapt to healthy lifestyle, dealing with junk food is not an issue anymore.

#2. Fear of failure

Fear of failure affects lots of people. It closely related to fear of criticism or rejection. Fear of failure can stop us from achieving our goals. We are only human. We do make mistakes sometimes. The way to handle is by being aware of that mistakes, face it and sees it as necessary for learning experience. Failing is not a crime; it is just a stepping stone to achieve our dreams.

#3. There's so much you want to achieve.

I used to set a huge goals like losing 10kg in 1 month. Haha! I know, I am not the only want who probably always want to see result ---fast! Human beings, by nature, are lazy, ambitious, and impatient. Setting unrealistic goals might leave us feeling overwhelmed and depressed. Focus on one baby step at a time. For example, cut out soda from your diet.

#4. You’re perfect just the way you are. 

Great excuse. You’re happy with your weight and everything's just dandy. So why would you want to lose weight to conform to the rules of society? Good point there. But instead of looking at losing weight as unnecessary rules set by the society, try to see it as a healthy commitment you're making to yourself. Determine how much you should weigh for your height. Remember that your personal ideal weight will also depend on whether you are a man or a woman, and whether you have a light, medium or heavy-set body frame. Aim for healthy weight.

#5 Healthy foods are expensive 

It seems cheaper to eat a burger, fries, and a soda from KFC than to eat a meal of whole foods. Many people think this is true. But healthy food may not be as expensive as it's often made out to be. You just need to be clever about it. 

Quick tips from Change for Life: 

• Buy what’s local and in season. 
• Make meat go further in casseroles or stir-fries by mixing it with cheaper healthy alternatives such as beans, pulses and frozen veg. 
• Cook batches of dishes such as chilli, curry or stew, and freeze them in handy sizes. Then you will have a cheap healthy meal that will last and last. 

The fear of weight loss commitment may seem genuine, but it's almost always just an excuse because you don't like change in your life.

Do you have commitment issues? 

How do you stay committed with your goals?

Weight Loss Help: 5 Randoms Act of Kindness You Can Do To Yourself Today

It's been a while since my last post. I hope you miss me. You know when a diet blogger stop posting, it might because she has been off track her diet. Haha~ Partly true for my case. In fact, my monitor stopped functioning and that's the reason of the lack of update. However, it's fixed now. I'm not entirely missing, still active on Instagram. Follow me honeybeegeb on Instagram and let's get connected. :)

We often taught or read about doing random act of kindness. Random act of kindness is doing something for someone without any thought of receiving something in return. Why bother to practice this? Because an act of kindness, no matter how big or small can make someone's day. Have you ever experienced a random act of kindness from a stranger? Do you remember how it made you feel? The effect is not only impact to the other person but to yourself as well. They bring yourself joy, inner happiness and peace. They liberate us from self-obsession, selfishness, and isolation. It's a really liberating feeling.

But have you ever thought of doing the same kindness to your own body? Loving yourself is a great approach in the process of losing weight. Don't wait until you lose the weight to love yourself. 

It's easy to say what you DON'T love about your body. It's not a surprise! We are always our own worst and biggest critic, don't we? We often compare ourselves to others. We don't feel beautiful, don't feel good enough. Being kind and nice to yourself is as important as being kind to others. Being kind to yourself means taking care of your own body by eating right, exercise regularly, getting enough sleep. After all, your body is the only place you have to live, right? Being kind to yourself also means freeing yourself from toxic relationship, from self-hatred, self-disgust, self-sabotage, anger, worries, and the list goes on. And being kind to yourself means enjoying your life. We don't have to be conform to "Hollywood" standard of beauty.

5 Random Act of Kindness You Can Do To Yourself Today

1. Take a Laugh Break

The old saying 'laughter is the best medicine' is definitely appears to be true. According to Michael Miller, director of the Center for Preventive Cardiology at the University of Maryland Medical Center in Baltimore, a good belly laugh leads to the release of endorphins from the brain.

Endorphins, pleasure-inducing neurotransmitters, activate receptors on the surface of the endothelium, the layer of flat cells lining blood vessels. That leads to the release of nitric oxide, which widens blood vessels—increasing blood flow, lessening inflammation, inhibiting platelet clumping, and reducing the formation of cholesterol plaque.

How to get a good laugh? Read a comic, or a funny book, watch a sitcom, hang out with people who make you laugh.

2. Trust the Process

I am still in a weight loss journey. Failure after failure it seems like unending journey for me. I feels like I'll never succeed. I can't hold up a diet for more than a few weeks. Staying committed to being fit is a daily struggle. I'm tired of counting calories. Weight loss motivation comes and goes. But along the way I learned that losing weight and keeping it off is a lifestyle change. Not until you lose weight but forever. The process is terrific but it's so worth it. 

Stress could be impacting your weight loss. But learn to trust the process is one great way to de-stress yourself. It's obvious, the end result I wanted is losing weight — to end obesity, to end the cycle of dieting. But each decision I made to lose weight for example avoid junk foods or wake up early to catch my morning workout is a process that makes me grow, a chance to know myself better, learning to love myself, and to develop self-trust. I don't know what end result you are expecting of but whatever your goals might be, career, financial or fitness wise, know that each choices you make today to reach your goals is a learning process. Each choice you make builds trust, and with trust, the choices get easier. 

3.  Say Kind Things to Yourself 

Like I mentioned earlier, we are our own worst critic, so even though you understand the value of being kind toward yourself, it isn't always easy to practice especially if you have develop the attitude of constantly criticizing yourself for a long time. But I know with practice, you will learn how to do it. The more you practice, the more unbidden kind thoughts appear in your mind. Read: 60 Examples of Positive Self-Talk. You can't kill a bad habit but you can stop doing it.

4.Overcoming Challenges

Challenge is not a failure. Failure is a challenge that telling you that your plans need a tweak. We grow by acknowledging our weaknesses. If people around you try to bring you down, for example someone says that you are never going to lose weight, that you'll never succeed, ask the question and find answers that tell you that it isn't really true. You may see that you are actually doing a good job in your workout routine, but may be a bit off track with your calorie intake. The strive to be perfect will diminishes your worth. Instead of striving to be perfect, strive to do your best so that in that way you can increase your capacity for self-kindness.

5. Invest in Yourself

Start today. Ask yourself, how do you feel? What do you need? What action needed to reach your goals? Spend at least 30 minutes in the morning or evening reading material that will motivates you. Be open to learn new skills and improve yourself. Hire weight loss coach or join a fitness club. Try bungee jumping or learn golf. By constantly learning new things you will keep your mind and body active. Take a moment to appreciate and enjoy your smaller accomplishments, or you could miss it. This approach makes life lighter, more joyful and it becomes easier to keep the motivation up.

What's one nice thing you can do to yourself today?

Weight Loss Failure: You Are 100% Responsible for Your Own Success

This post dedicated to myself, to my diet buddy, and to all who have failed to stick to their New Year's weight loss resolution.

Don't complain about the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do. The following is an interesting excerpt from Jack Canfiled's book: How to Get from Where You Are to Where You Want to Be.

You will never become successful as long as you continue to blame someone or something else for your lack of success.

You are the one who ate the junk food.

You are the one who didn't say no.

You are the one who took the job.
You are the one who abandoned your dream.

Mr. Canfield says, people only complain about things they can do something about. People don't complain things they have no power over. If it weren't for gravity, people wouldn't fall down the stairs and planes wouldn't fall out of the sky. But we never heard anyone complain about gravity. Why? Because we know we can't do anything to change it so we just accept it.

The circumstances people always complain about are a situation they can change by their very nature.

You could learn to cook healthier food.

You could say no in the face of peer pressure. 

You could quit and find a better job. 

You could go back to school and pursue your dream. 

But why people don't simply do those things? It's because the require to change involving risk. The risk of being ridiculed or judge by others, the risk of being unemployed. It might be uncomfortable and confusing. It might take money, time, and effort. So they stay put and complain about those things to avoid the risk. But avoiding risks also means losing out on the potential gain that accepting the risk may have allowed.

To create the life you always wanted is simple: stop complaining and take that risk. But simple doesn't necessarily mean easy. It requires concentrated awareness, dedicated discipline, and willingness to take risk.

Let's do some exercise, ask ourselves:

1. How am I allowing this to happen? What am I doing that is working and that I need to be doing more of?

(should I control carbs intake, add more cardio exercise, etc)

2. What am i doing that is not working? What do I need to be doing less of?

(am I spending too much time on social media, eating too much sugar, etc)

3. What am I not doing that I need to try on to see if it works?

(get more sleep, drink more water, hire a coach, etc.)  

I don't have "losing weight" in my New Year resolution this year. I am not hitting my goal weight last year. I think the more I use the word "diet", the more I'll eat. So I try to skip the word "diet" in my dictionary and focus on healthy lifestyle instead. Fast forward to 5 months, I'm still not losing any weight. Ranting about why I'm still not losing weight totally useless and won't change anything. I am done with making further weight loss analysis. It's just a matter of being ready and willing to take the risk. Buddy, it's NEVER too late to pick yourself up, start all over, and keep going. Whatever your weight goals, or career goals, relationship goals might be... it is never too late to be what you might have been. 

Are you afraid of taking risk? What are your biggest fears?

Fitspiration Friday: How Theresa Lost 275 Pounds Without Exercise

You absolutely can lose weight without exercise. Exercise is better but losing weight doesn't have to be an expensive gym membership, and lots of time dedicated to the treadmill.

Theresa Borawski, 50 is our featured Fitspiration Friday because she is a walking-talking miracle! On her 5'8 frame Theresa used to weigh 428 pounds (194 kg) and depended on wheelchair to get around, but today she's a new person. She have lost 275 pounds (125 kg) in about 2 years; that is 137 pounds (62 kg) in a year or 11 pounds (5 kg) per month. And she did it all WITHOUT surgery, diet pills, or fad diets. Read her story and learn how you, too, can change your life!

Her Weight Loss Diary (HEWLD): What made you decide to lose weight?

Theresa: Over a period of about 6 weeks, I had several conversations with people who planted the seed for change; however, I had made no conscious decision…or even thought about…losing weight now or in the future. I just didn’t think it was possible without divine intervention or surgery. I lost two teeth as a result of a soda addiction and my Rheumatologist told me that he was at a loss about what to do to ease my pain as we had already tried multiple medication combinations with no success.

My sister was the final catalyst I needed to change. She called me on March 1, 2011 and told me that she was scheduled to have a bariatric weight loss surgery on St. Patrick’s Day. I begged her not to do it; I was afraid that something terrible would go wrong. Surgery seemed so drastic, and I did my best to talk her out of it. Ultimately the decision was hers, and when I hung up the phone, I proclaimed out-load "I’m going to show you: There is another way!" What was I going to show her, I wondered? I was 428 pounds and I couldn’t even walk. I hadn’t been on weight loss plan in years. I had no intention of dieting. I had no comprehension that I could lose more than 200 pounds without surgery.

And yet…here I am! In that very moment, everything just "clicked in my head" and I started to empty soda bottles down the drain and dump the sugar bowl in the trash. In that very moment, I completely made up my mind and changed my life! I have never looked back. "Old Theresa" and all her negative thinking died that day and "New Theresa" was born.

HEWLD: What challenges you face in losing weight?

Theresa: Losing the weight was actually easier than I thought at the beginning because I was losing it so rapidly and seeing results so I kept motivated.

One of the main challenges I faced was that I was unable to walk at first and could not do much physical activity, therefore, exercise was not an option in the beginning. It was about a year before I could walk without the use of a mobility device. (I was dependent on a wheeled walker, cane, or electric wheelchair prior to beginning this journey).

Other challenge rose from the high cost of fresh fruits and vegetables. I was eating a lot less food each day, but my grocery bill increased dramatically! I also lost 14 sizes (from a 40W to a ladies 12). Sometimes I would purchase an item of clothing and before I even got to wear it, it was too big. This is a “good” problem to have, but it can get quite costly. The main challenge came from the psychological and emotional changes that occurred as a result of the dramatic weight loss. Obviously I looked different “physically” but I had to learn to be an “average size person” for the first time in my life and to get to know the “New Theresa.”

HEWLD: What changes you made to lose weight?

Theresa: The very first thing I did was to eliminate sugar. Once I made the decision that I was going to try to change my life, I emptied all the bottles of soda I had in the house down the drain and the sugar bowl as well. I then began to count calories, eliminating high-calorie, and processed foods. I gave up fast food completely. I also changed the way I think about food. No longer was I using food as comfort or reward, but now it was fuel for my body. I became conscious of what I ate, and what I was thinking/feeling when I ate it. I had to change my habits and my entire way of life.

HEWLD: How long does it take to see your weight loss result?

Theresa: Because I was so heavy to begin with, I lost weight a very quick pace, so I saw results right away, however, it was only after I had lost 50 pounds or so that others began to notice. It took me just about 2 years to lose the entire 270+ pounds.

HEWLD: How has your life changed after losing weight?

Theresa: I have been given a 2nd chance at life. Three years ago I was unable to walk; now I ride a bicycle and can do just about anything. My medication needs have been reduced significantly and I am no longer dependent on strong painkillers to get through the day because I have eliminated the stress off my joints. I love to shop and dress up. I am happier and healthier than I have ever been in my life! In addition, I get the opportunity to share my story on a regular basis with others who are hopeless. I write a blog and manage a support group on Facebook called WE CAN CHANGE OUR LIVES, and have done some motivational speaking. I have been blessed beyond measure and am not longer a spectator in life; I am an active participant!

HEWLD: How do you maintain your weight loss? 

Theresa: Maintaining the weight loss is much harder than losing it. I have kept the weight off (within a 5-7 pound leeway) for over a year now by doing the same thing I did to lose it. From day one, this was not a “diet” but rather a lifestyle. From day one…and to this day… I have not eaten anything off plan, not even one cookie or potato chip. I made a vow on the first day of my journey that I would not do anything then that I wasn’t willing and able to do for the rest of my life. So far, so good, however, I am struggling to lose the couple of pounds I put on over the harsh winter in northern Michigan that prevented me from walking, riding my bike, and getting much activity.

THERESA'S 5 BEST WEIGHT LOSS TIPS 

1. Don’t begin a “diet” but rather look at it as a “journey” that will last until the day you die.
Too many times people go on diets and when they reach their goal, they go back to their old way of life and gain the weight back. Don’t give up anything that you can’t live without for the rest of your life. I knew that I couldn’t or didn’t want to drink black coffee for the rest of my life so I allotted some of my calories each day to sugar-free French Vanilla coffee creamer. Three years into this journey and I’m still eating the same foods I did while losing weight, only now I am less strict about the quantity. I will treat myself to as much fruit or Greek yogurt that I want.

2. Don’t focus on how far you have to go to reach your goal.
Instead, set small goals and when you reach them you will be motivated and encouraged to continue to reach another goal. Focus on one step at a time and before you know it, you will be at the top of your staircase! 

3. Enjoy the process!
Celebrate the special moments on the journey. Rejoice each time you discover something new that you can do. I remember the day I could cross my legs for the first time in years and the sheer joy of being able to walk to my mailbox for the first time without a cane. Other things like moving the belt over a notch or fitting into a smaller size is another opportunity to do the “Happy Dance!” Let those moments motivate and inspire you.

4. Find something that will motivate YOU.
Don’t try to lose weight for someone else; to make someone love you more; to find a spouse or partner; to look good for a special event like a wedding or class reunion. If your motivation is not specifically about YOU, then you may discover that once the event passes, you give up on the journey and gain the weight back, or you discover that the people in your life liked you better when you were heavier. Make this journey about YOU!

5. Don’t ever give up.
Don’t let a small set-back or plateau deter you from your dream of being healthier and happier. We are blessed with a new day; a new opportunity; a new beginning each morning. If you fall off track or give into temptation, then simply start all over again. Don’t ever….ever….ever…give up! You can change your life!

HEWLD: Share to us your diet plan.

Theresa: I never followed any specific diet plan. I just counted calories, limiting myself to about 1000-1200 in the beginning. I tried to choose foods that were low in calories but gave me more “bang for my buck.” In other words, it made more sense for me to eat an entire bag of frozen vegetables than a cookie. I did not allow any “off” days or treats for holidays or special occasions. I was too afraid that I would fall into the trap of making excuses if I allowed myself to splurge on the weekend or for a party. I’m addicted to sugar and I know that even a little would lead to a little more, and so forth. I also drank a lot of flavored water; in fact, I drink almost two gallons each day.

• For breakfast every day, I choose from oatmeal, eggs, fruit or yogurt. Fortunately I am a creature of habit and can eat the same thing day after day. 
• For lunch, I have either a can of low-calorie soup or Greek yogurt and fruit. Sometimes I’ll eat a protein bar or Fiber One bar if I am still hungry. 
• Snacks include an assortment of yogurt, fruit, rice cakes, or air-popped popcorn. I absolutely love watermelon! 
• For dinner, I eat chicken, turkey burger, pork, and a lot of vegetables and salads. I really like stir-fry. I eat very little bread or pasta, but will use the low-calorie whole grain bread once in a while to have a turkey burger or sandwich. With apples in season now, I’ve been enjoying baked apples with a bit of sweetener and cinnamon.

HEWLD: Share to us your workout. 

Theresa: As unusual as this sounds, I do not like exercise and I do not workout. Rather I like being active and have had to find ways to incorporate activity into my daily life. I lift weights while sitting in the lazy boy watching the morning news. I do squats while waiting for my computer to boot up, the microwave to ding, or while on the phone. I walk and ride my bike; work in my garden; take the stairs, and build as much physical activity as I can into each day.
