Looking good is also looking fit. Looking good is the effect of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I don't believe that you will look bad if you do keep a healthy lifestyle. Included in the lifestyle in order to appear fit is a healthy diet and also right appetite. Just right appetite. Not too much. Not starving also.
When I went to the market to buy fish, onlookers couldn't help but look at my belly. It protrudes that you would believe I am seven months pregnant. I can't blame the people and I don't get offended as well. Because I know I have been slacking off lately.
I wasn't minding how I ate and I didn't impose any restriction with my portion. There should be portion control.
I do believe that the mind can control anything that we do. If we will it, then we can do it. Provided that we are not already in a state of severe situation. If at the moment that we are willing to change our minds that it so happens we are in a normal situation, then we can always achieve what we will to achieve.
Just smiling at those who invite us to overeating and simply saying no to food indulging is a good way to go.
If this is what I believe, then I think it is time to put this belief into action. I am challenging myself to will my mind to have just the right appetite. Right mindset. Discipline. Willingness to help myself.
It is very easy to get obese at this point where everything is done almost online. The lack of usual activity which we had no choice before but to do is what is making things harder for us now than ever.
I was telling my partner that I am planning to walk around the vicinity where I could go buy groceries. Instead of riding going to the supermart, I may just as well walk towards the grocery store. It will not be long and I will have my pre pandemic body.
Another tendency of mine that I can't help about is being a stay-at-home mom while working. Instead of going out for exercise, I am being restricted for that action because I have to have time for my little ones. They needed to be guided while at home. And I have to sit with the kids to teach them while they do their modules.
With all that was mentioned, I still needed to maintain a good diet. Regardless, I have to have the will.
As they say, if we really want it then we will make a remedy in order to attain it. This is a challenge, but a challenge worth taking. I don't wish to always be the apple of the eyes of onlookers. It would be best if I am but a good apple, not a pregnant apple.
