I
have not always been over-weight. With my last baby I gained
75 pounds. After the birth I did not lose all of the weight,
in fact through the years I put more on. I was embarrassed about
my weight so, I stayed away from people, stayed inside and ate
more. The final straw was my sister celebrated her 40th birthday
and I did not go for fear of old friends seeing me.
Whether they would or would not have recognized me was not the
issue. Either way I would have been equally humiliated. I am
normally out-going and fun.
I had turned into someone I didn't know.
I had 90 pounds to lose. How did I let this happen? What
I did know is I was sick and tired of feeling the way I
did. Sick and tired of looking the way I did. Deep down
I knew I was avoiding feelings and issues. I didn't know
how to deal with many of them and I found temporary comfort
with food. I was (am) a emotional eater. The day had come...I
was ready to deal with it ALL. I was now in control of
my life. This is where it all changes.
This is what has
worked for me. My choice for exercise is primarily Tae-Bo,
the advanced tape and 14 minutes on the Ab Slide. Since
your body will get used to the same workout day after day,
which in turn might cause the weight loss to slow down,
switch your workout around. When that happens to me, I
just switch from Advanced to Basic TaeBo for a couple days.
I was lifting weights at home but I injured my knee doing
squats so I decided to wait for the gym to open so I can
be supervised. If the weather is good and I really need
a change, I will bike ride. I work out at least five days
a week.
