Today I am starting FB Fit 2! I have been working out with FB since about June last year, but this is my first program. Thanks to FB, I’ve already made working out a habit that I enjoy and look forward to most of the time, so I am not too worried about motivation when it comes to the workouts. However, my big problem is nutrition. I eat way too many unhealthy snacks like potaty chips, ice cream, chocolate, basically every day. Working from home at a computer all the time because of the epidemic has actually made it worse. I guess I am an emotional eater. Like, when I'm sad or stressed, eating comforts me, even though I know that in the long term I'll feel bad about it,
I do need to lose some weight and of course I would like to do so also for aesthetic reasons. BUT, what is actually a lot more important is my health. I guess diabetes and heart diseases run a little in the family, my grandpa had diabetes and recently my mum has been diagnosed with it as well. My grandpa died at 65, which is not super old and now I am really worried about my mum. While I can’t control her health (though I do tell her to take care of herself of course and she is now also forced by her doctor to change her diet), I CAN have a positive impact on my own health.
So I decided to improve my eating habits and I am writing it here because if I write it down for other people to read I feel like there’s more accountability. I won’t starve myself (I have done that in the past and of course it wasn’t sustainable at all) but I want to make healthier choices, like if I really feel like snacking I’ll have a healthy snack instead of potato chips. And I have to stop the emotional eating or eating out of boredom and only eat until I’m actually full. I’ll still allow myself to have some chocolate or something like that every once in a while, but not every day!
So today I am starting a new journey to become a healthier version of myself. I hope this text gives me enough accountability and hopefully reminding myself of my health will give me enough motivation.
