In Which I Acknowledge Desperation:
So I've been getting pretty desperate in my attempts to lose these last 10 pounds, and I've decided something...
Desperation is not the answer.
Desperation was what I was doing when I was morbidly obese and grasping at straws... trying to do ANYTHING that I thought would help.
I lost over 160 pounds by eating clean, whole foods. By giving my body plenty of lean protein, healthy fats, vegetables, and fruits. My health has been invigorated. I sleep better, move better... there's no end to how much better everything is. And the thing is, the weight loss itself probably isn't the only reason. Good nutrition is, I think, the best medicine of all.
So why am I thinking about filling myself with artificial food, processed stuff... chemicals, additives... artificial sweeteners and protein powders... just to lose that last 10 pounds? Why am I throwing away good health and good nutrition, clean eating, and feeling well for being bloated, gassy, tired, achy, and having general malaise?
It doesn't make any sense, does it?
Sure I still want to lose those last 10 pounds. And I'm pretty sure I will... by doing what I was doing to lose the previous 160. It just might take a while.
