I have had lots of people on my Facebook wanting me to email
them ‘my secret’. I want to laugh in their face. I really want to laugh in
everyone’s face who asks that question. The ‘secret’ is eating well in portion controlled
sizes while breaking a sweat and drinking lots of water. I can’t commit to
taking any sort of powder, supplement, prepackaged dinner or anything close to
that to lose weight. Why? Well for one that’s not in my budget. I had to pick
if I wanted to work with a trainer or get something like that. I chose the
trainer. Also because I don’t want to make myself believe that some sort of
supplement like that is making me lose the weight. I want to know that it was
my hard work and dedication that got the weight off. That’s just me. Some
people might work extremely well with a program that delivers your food to your
door or has you replace one meal a day with a shake. I just can’t do that to my
body when I have no clue how it’s going to react to it. Some people have great
success with it. But I have never heard of someone eating healthy, working out
and drinking a ridiculous amount of water NOT lose any weight. If you are that
person or know that person please direct me to them. Because I want to call
your bluff and tell you that you are probably cheating yourself when it comes
to eating or not pushing yourself in the gym. I am the Queen of Excuses and I
can smell that bullshit a mile away. So quit feeling like you’re ‘too fat’ to
work out. Getting over the embarrassment of people seeing you work out is going
to be the most difficult thing. I know it’s hard and I know you might feel embarrassed
or overwhelmed going to the gym and not knowing how machines work. But. Being embarrassed
for that short period of time while asking for help is a lot better than being embarrassed
and ashamed the rest of your life because you’re not satisfied with how your
body looks.
not to knock those "other ways" that people go with, but you are doing it the BEST way. the truly healthy way. there's something that exercise does to me as a whole, inside and out, that a stupid little diet pill could never do.
ReplyDeletebusting ass FTW!
i hate exercising because, well, sweat, and i always feel embarrassed in a gym. it's the one place i have no idea what i'm doing and that freaks.me.out. so, thank you for this!
ReplyDeleteYayyy you for not filling everyone's head full of BS or acting like there is some big secret to making things happen besides hard work and dedication!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up, you're rocking it!
I'm with you on this. Getting over yourself and getting into the gym is the hardest part. I'm not moving as fast as the guy next to me, nor am I lifting as much weight but I am LITERALLY working my ass off (7 pounds over the past 3 weeks!) and doing it right. Slow and steady wins the race. Keep it up, you're an inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYou're one brave (calorie free) cookie, Bris Jenner.
ReplyDeleteGET IT GIRL.
ReplyDeleteYou speak the truth!! My calories burned used to be very high like yours when I was heavier. I can remember running on Thanksgiving of last year 3 miles and I burned 1,000 calories. Now that same route and 3 miles I only burn 350 calories. It is amazing how your body adapts and becomes a machine! I love it and I am very excited for you and your progress. Get it girl!
