You have to eat!

Lately I haven't had much to talk about on here. Things are going smoothly. I really have taken a step back. I have been browsing other weight loss blogs and talking to numerous people about losing. I am in such a great place. I am finally starting to be happy with my body. I find myself really stepping out of my comfort zone and just living. With that said, there is one thing I have noticed on a lot of these blogs that is getting to me!

Let me start off by saying this- I literally eat whatever I want. Friday I had BBQ chips, yesterday I had  a bagel with cream cheese, and today I am eating pasta salad. Now, let me make one thing clear. I had the serving size of all of the above and I think that is were most people get into trouble. When losing weight- you should be able to eat like normal humans. You just have to be more smart about it. Load up on fruits and veggies- make healthy choices your primary go to's. However- still eating "unhealthy" things are possible. Willpower and portion control are extremely important though.

I know a lot of people trying to lose weight eat nothing but plain chicken- steamed veggies- fruit and maybe some nuts. Just eating plain, boring stuff day after day is awful. Yes- you will lose weight, but sticking too it will be hard. For me, I have figured out a way to eat like a normal person- just more healthy. I wish I could tell everyone in the world how I do it, but I can't. I can't explain how I have gained all my willpower to only eat 12 chips instead of the whole bag. I can't explain how I still go out to restaurants and only order low calorie options. It is something that needs to be taught from within. Only you can teach yourself. There is hope though. I just really wanted to make that clear.
