Lifestyle changes

Today I made a decision and a promise to myself. One I intend to keep. Starting tomorrow, I’m changing my diet. My boyfriend and my mother both told me this week they thought I’m eating very unhealthy. I’m actually skinny, but I tend to skip meals and take a chocolate bar on the go. I’m always busy with everything, so I don’t really take time to eat at all. So that started me thinking about it.

Yesterday I was watching some tv.  I’m actually embarrassed to tell this. But I love watching fat people and how they exercise to lose weight. It’s kinda my thing. Afterwards I feel happy about myself, because I don’t have to go through all these problems and exercises to stay slim. But when I saw this program ‘Supersize versus superskinny’ I was shocked. It’s about a fat woman and a really skinny women, and they switch meals for an entire week. I wasn’t shocked about the concept of the program, I was shocked because the really skinny person reminded me of myself, mentally. She was always on the go, taking a biscuit or some candy with her and never really taking time to eat properly. She also hated when people watched her eating, something I can relate to. I always eat very fast, so I’m not the only one at the table still eating. I look really slow then.

After I watched this and reminded myself of what my mum and my boyfriend told me, I decided I was gonna change. I read somewhere that people who want to change their diet, they don’t keep up very long. Average was about a day… I’m determined to beat that average. So I’m starting to look things up about food, and introduce it to my lifestyle. I tried it today and it’s harder than I thought. Saying ‘no’ to a bar of chocolate, spinning on the home trainer for fifteen minutes, my god. I’m thinking to join a gym, the only thing holding me back is the price … It’s like 200 euro’s a year. That sounds a lot. But when you say about 20 euro’s a month, that sounds a lot better… Hmm, I’ll keep you posted.

I also want to find a sport that suits me. I tried running, but it didn’t last very long. I love swimming, but I hate that it takes so much time to get undressed, swim for half an hour, dry yourself of, get dressed, dry your hair, do your make-up again (the swimming pool is not very near my house, and I’m not taking the bus without make-up, I refuse.)

Tomorrow is the official start of my new ‘lifestyle’. So maybe I should keep a journal and give you guys and update every week or so?

Let me think about it ;)
