DON’T DOING THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER
I ofen heared some women said, " I finally don't care what anybody else thinks ! I have confidence! I love my body! I'm sexy as hell! I'm going to wear that damn bikini!" or some such variation.But there are really very less people can get what they want ,and live like them said.
I keep waiting for that confidence that was supposed to come with this stage of my life. I'm into the second half of my fifth decade, and when someone from my youth finds me on Facebook, I still dread them seeing my photos. I'm a good 40 pounds heavier than I was in my college days.
I've always loved exercise—yoga, Zumba, HIIT, volleyball, pilates, even mowing my damn lawn. I'm careful about what I eat, though, believing the adage, "You can't out-exercise poor nutrition." I abide by Michael Pollan's rule, "If it arrives through the window of your car, it is not food." The admonition to "only eat food with ingredients you recognize and can pronounce" is a good one, too. Unfortunately, I can recognize and pronounce "sugar" and "flour." Still, a much larger percentage of what I eat is whole, healthy and unprocessed than it was 10 years ago. And yet …
There's a saying that doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity. A friend pointed out that this is also the definition of the scientific method. Either way, when it came to weight loss, I did the same thing over and over again and expected a different result each time. Was I crazy? Scientific? Both?
I didn't do the same diet plan like 2 Day Diet Diet Plans over and over—each approach was different, but never extreme. I've done Atkins, Somersizing, Game On! or Dukan, and they were all based upon eating healthy, whole foods, lots of vegetables and lean meat, and minimal amounts of processed food. I never did the crazy cleanses or dangerous drugs.
