My goal for May is -2kg (-4.4lbs). Last week I lost 1 kg but now I’m up as much again. It’s probably just water that accumulates in the body. I just have to keep on fighting. Do you want to see an impressive before and after picture of another? Click here. It only differs 300g (0.7lbs) between the pictures! Amazing, huh? So don’t trust the scale blindly.

This is my new beach body (soon)! I’m feeling really fit. Guess whose body this is?

I’ve to stop thinking like a fat person who wants to lose weight (or afraid of not losing weight). I’ve been thinking about how I would act if I was a thin. I would probably eat healthy and workout and would be afraid of gaining weight. You see the difference? Thin people are afraid of getting fat but fat people are afraid of not losing weight. It’s a different fear (of course not everyone is like that).

So if I’m a thin person, I would prefer healthy stuff and eat less of fatty food. It’s just that easy. But as a fat person wanting to lose weight all my focus are about food and exercises. It’s a big resistance.

What do you think you would act or do as a thin person?

This is very powerful! It makes me crave the good stuff. This is how I stay inspired!

Ps. I found these picture on tumblr.com

A glass of water, music + 2 minutes jumping jacks and counter push- up, healthy breakfast and a green juice/smoothie.

I realize it isn’t the food that makes me fat, but the stress does! Stress causes me to overeat and binge in the first place. I didn’t realize this earlier because I don’t live a stressful life. You know that type of stress where you need to hurry and finish a lot of things at once? Exercise and new eating habits can also cause stress to the body. So I don’t fight with food anymore. Trying to replace unhealthy choice doesn’t work because I’ll still be craving that junk food. If it’s junk food I want I’ll have some bite to satisfied my taste buds and then some apple (or other healthy alternatives) afterwards to get satiated. Trying to fight with food to avoid temptation is useless. It’s important to nourish every part of the body, my brain often wants snacks and junk food and my body need something fresh and healthy. So I believe it’s important to have both, but of course less junk and more of healthy stuff. Now I’m eating all the time!
