I am just so tired of being overweight. I feel gross, and tired. tired, tired, and yes, more tired. I am so sad I let myself be so overweight before I have a new leaf, a new choice to not be overweight. I have a goal in mind and a way to reach it. To eat healthy foods in healthy portions. What is healthy? Healthy in the dictionary (had to look it up!) is Inflected Form(s):
1: enjoying health and vigor of body, mind, or spirit : well
2: evincing health <a healthy complexion>
3: conducive to health <walk three miles every day…a beastly bore, but healthy — G. S. Patton>
4 a: prosperous, flourishing b: not small or feeble : considerable
— health·i·ly \-th?-l?\ adverb
— health·i·ness \-th?-n?s\ noun
synonyms healthy, sound, wholesome, robust, hale, well mean enjoying or indicative of good health. healthy implies full strength and vigor as well as freedom from signs of disease <a healthy family>. sound emphasizes the absence of disease, weakness, or malfunction <a sound heart>. wholesome implies appearance and behavior indicating soundness and balance <a face with a wholesome glow>. robust implies the opposite of all that is delicate or sickly <a lively, robust little boy>.
So with all the wordly talk, I say healthy is good, good things to do with our minds, bodies and souls. If it is good on the inside let it show on the outside. but if it is not good on the inside how will it truly show? That is what I want to be. I am Christian, so I know the importance of my faith in my soul. I also know that my body should be healthy too. I am working on the positive aspects, or not just not making bad choices, but filling in the void with good choices. I see myself not making good choices with food, before I have overeaten healthy and unhealhty food. I need to not overeat any type of food. Before I have undereaten healthy and unhealthy food. I need to not undereat any food so as I will perish with the good energy I need to sustain a healthy, robust life. I understand that. I am working on the unhealthy and healhty food choices. I think we all should strive to make healthy choices in life, and of course with food. Healthy : Wheat, Fruits, Vegetables, Meats, Lean Dairy (at least to me Frozen Yogurt is better for weight than ice-cream), Nuts and Legumes, Certain oils (olive is my #1), and Water. All of this in moderation, in balance with of course lower or higher levels of daily intake for each particular one, of course more fruits and veggies, then wheat and meats (lean meats I prefer such as poultry, lean beef, fish), dairy, nuts and legumes then of course alot less of the oils. I get so caught up in my extra weight that I tend to cut out things such as meat and wheat items, just to make sure calories are low. I need to remember this is a journey and to eat healthy. God provides us with food, we need to treat it with reverence in a good way. So this is what I am hoping to do in regards to my food and eating choices now and the rest of my life- Choose the healthier foods and eat them in healthy balances and amounts. I am willing and going to do this and so are you! Good thoughts to you, may we continue in health and all that is good!
