My Plan to be fit and healthy are based off the book
"Change Anything: The New Science of Personal Success" by
Kerry Patterson, Joseph Grenny, David Maxfield, Ron McMillan, Al Switzler
I found this book very enlightening and inspiring and recommend it to anyone who is trying to lose weight. I cannot vouch for its success though as i only completed it a few days ago. However I do know it was very inspiring.
My Plan (Version 1)
Crucial Moments where I am most tempted to overeat:
Late at night when im hungry,
In the kitchen when im hungry,
Out with friends,
Pizza, or any other meal the family is having at night,
Vital Behaviors - Rules to follow when I am tempted
When tempted in the kitchen and tempted, 1. get out of kitchen, and 2. tell myself location location location
Exercise 3 ways, stretch, aerobic, and weightlifting
Repeat to myself, I am in training to be fit and healthy, (when im hungry) repeat in my head or outloud this too shall pass
When family is eating, go in another room, either computer room or my room and play guitar or do something productive or entertaining on the computer
Carry around peppermint oil and use it before every meal i eat
6 sources of influence -
Think of the future, tell myself i value health over immediate pleasure
eat no refined sugars, they are like crack
imagine myself being able to wear a tank top again or shirt off at pool
imagine what illl be like in a year if I keep going the way im going (270 pounds and unhealthy)
Turn accomplices into friends, get my family and friends behind me, so they become assets to my weight loss journey instead of saying things, like oh you look fine or you don't need to lose weight. Gain more friends that support me via online forum. Maybe get a weight loss coach when i can afford it.
Tell myself repeatedly that 155 is a normal weight for me, it is normal to be fit and healthy, to think otherwise is dangerous and unhealthy
Every week i follow my "Fit and Healthy" Plan i get to play group tennis, and meet new people. A cost of 20 dollars and something i really like to do.
Prepare all my meals before hand and what times i am going to eat them
use small glasses plates and baggies
Cut a blown up picture of me into 25 pieces when i used to be fit and healthy and glue a piece back together every time I meet my fitness goal for the week.
Get a calorie counter
Make a Calendar and put a S for strong ever day I complete my fitness goals and C for every day I mess up, to remind me not to simply quit but be curious as to why I messed up and update my plan so that it is less likely to happen again.
Any supportive comments or ideas to help me on my fitness journey are welcome. Thanks for reading, and again I highly recommend the book above.
God bless,
Cody
