Dreams of an Insomniac

Let’s be real. Sometimes you have to diet to meet a specific goal.

You have to work your ass off to see the change.

You have to make sacrifices and be disciplined.

You have to say no to your favorite ice cream or chocolate cake.

You have to wake up early and get your workout in.

You have to stay up late meal prepping.

You have to find time for the gym in between school, work, and well.. life.

It all depends on you.

What’s your goal?

Weight Loss Tips💕 (As requested by my lovely followers)😘

✅1. Self-love,Self-care is #1!!!! “Loving your body will get you farther than hating it.”

No matter what size, shape, color. You are beautiful! You need to love yourself enough to become healthier. Not hate yourself enough to be at a certain weight.💕 What did I do? I took a baby picture of me and taped it to my mirror. Every time I had something negative to say to myself I’d think, “I wouldn’t be saying this to a baby. But I am that baby. So why am I being cruel to myself?” Be patient and kind with yourself. No matter what!!! It’s hard at first, but keep practicing. Look at blogs who educate and have tips for self love & care! Body positive blogs of all shapes & sizes!

✅2. Get Professional Help (if possible) “Heal the inside in order to heal the outside.”

If you’re in public elementary, middle or high school, community college, private or state college there are resources! Whether it’s group counseling, workshops, private therapy. Call your school’s facilities and ask what they have to offer. Talk to your doctor and ask for recommended places for mental health healing. Help is not for the weak, but for the strong who are ready to go into uncomfortable situations that some don’t want to face. That’s the bravest thing you can do for yourself. If the help isn’t available, there are so many videos on YouTube about ppl overcoming many obstacles! Educate yourself with Ted Talks & how to recover from depression, anxiety and much more💕 Remember to be kind and patient with yourself.

✅3. Start moving! 💪🏻

People ask me what I do to exercise, it’s honestly different everyday! Sometimes it’s weights, interval training, dance choreography on YouTube (you don’t have to be good ahah I’m not). To songs you like!!! Sometimes I jog and sometimes I do body weight exercises and other times I just take it easy and walk for 15 minutes. :) If we try to do intense workouts that we don’t find enjoyable then we will stop doing them. -_- And why would I wanna do something I don’t like anyway? :/ Lame! Zumba, Yoga, CrossFit, Bike riding, hiking, Just Dance (the game). Haha do things that make u happy and break a sweat! :) If you’re not into exercising at all!! That’s how I was! I didn’t like anything (at first)! DONT WORRY! :) Just walking at least 15 min helps as much as pills for mild depression. There’s so many benefits for your mood, stress and health (physical & mental!) :) I started just walking too. :) Again, schools & colleges might even have group exercise classes! Get out there and ask! :) You can always call too if you’re too shy or nervous. :)

✅4. Eat junk food in moderation! Don’t limit yourself! “Food is not the enemy”

If you would’ve told me I’d lose weight while drinking soda, eating fries, cake, steak, ice cream! I wouldn’t believe you. :) But it’s all about moderation! I tried to go cold turkey. Didn’t work for me. Everyone is different, but did you know that 95% of people who go on a fad diet gain all the weight back AND MORE within the first year! Why? Because fad diets don’t work! Be realistic, if you plan on eating chips and Oreos for the rest of your life then don’t tell yourself you can’t have them! Have a little in moderation! :) Also to be realistic, certain foods I cannot have in the house. Why? Cause I cannot eat them in moderation, I don’t have enough will power for certain foods yet so I chose not to have them at home. These foods for me are fruit gushers & cookies! :) I’ll have cookies at bakery’s or a small four pack. I just won’t buy a pack of 25 because I’ll eat them all in an hour. Instead of 6 slices of pizza maybe eat two-three.:) IF YOUR OVER EAT OR BINGE ITS OKAY! Remember be kind to yourself, drink some water, tomorrow is a new day. :) Follow blogs where people have recovered from over eating or binge eating, anorexia, bulimia, Ted Talks on YouTube. You got this! :) There’s so many internet resources! :) progress is not linear! It takes time, I’ve been there. :)
