Hello Readers,
This post is going to be another chatty one and it is about my Lifestyle,
Over the last few months there has been a lot of stress in my life and stress tends to effect your usual ways of going about your life. Food has always been an issue with me, I use food as a stress relieve which is extremly bad but it's something that I know a lot of people do. I don't want to make this post about weight because I want to liberate people and I want to go on a journey that I want other people to follow on with me. Weight is a sensitive subject with most people, I am not happy with my weight but that is something that will hopefully change once my hole outlook on food and the way I go about my life will change.
Over the recent months with stress that has been happening in my life it is so much easier and quicker to just go threw a drive thru or order a takeaway. Thats where it slipped, the veg slowly disappeared of the plate and water turned into milkshakes as bad as that sounds sometimes you have to hit a wall with food to climb your way over it. Not to long ago I went on a "diet" and I was successful I was eating pretty much clean and I was drinking lots of water and then I gave up. I was excersising intensively morning and night and I was really feeling good but that like most things in my life doesn't last very long but that is why I'm changing things for the better!
I am writing this post to not only motivate myself but motivate others, I am not going to turn this blog into a super annoying force it down your throat health blog but I do want to make it a big part
of "The Background Blogger"
I thought I would touch on all the things that I want to change and we are not starting tomorrow or on Monday we are starting now! This post is the start of my new lifestyle, the main reason I wanted to write this post is because I really need to push myself and I have a platform to voice that on. I am PROMISING at least two health posts a week along with my usual blog posts, So let's crack on that was one big introduction. I want to do some bullet points to go threw things that I want to do to make my lifestyle and eating habits change,
1. Drink plenty of WATER!
I am sure everyone is aware that water is one of the best things you can put inside your body it flushes out all the toxins and it all round makes everything work a lot better.
2. Reading!
I want to get into reading, I used to be a real book nerd and that is something that I think will really benefit me. Reading won't help my waistline but it will help me mentally to have an escape from the stresses of daily life, instead of eating a big packet of my favourite crisps I will pick up a good book and read until I feel better or until I'm super tired and fall asleep.
3. Excersise!
Excersise is definetly key in being healthier in my daily life, As much as I dislike excersising I have found when I push myself I really succeed. I work out extremly hard when I do and I think that I what is going to really help me to see the positives in changing my lifestyle.
4. Be positive!
I have struggled all my life with being positive but something I have been doing for the past few days is when a negative thought or feeling pops into my head I tell myself I'm perfect. As stuck up as that may sound you will slowly start to believe it because if someone says something so much you will actually start to believe it. I am still very aware that I am not in a healthy position right now on the inside and the outside but you need to heal yourself to get yourself better. The idea of telling yourself your perfect wasn't my idea it was from a fantastic TV show "My Mad Fat Diary" Just watch that show honestly it's amazing.
5. Choices!
Having a healthy lifestyle is all about making healthy choices, rather than having a packet of crisps have a handful of almonds. It's little things that will eventually become second nature to you!
I am excited to begin a journey and this isn't a "Weight Loss Journey" this is a journey of figuring out your mind and becoming a healthier version of your already perfect self. If you want to join my journey you can comment below or tweet me @backgroundblogg
I think we should all help each other after all the best people are the nicest kinds of people.
Thank you all for reading this post it is one of many healthy lifestyle posts to come, expect recipes, fitness posts, updates and a lot more. I just want to say this blog is still a Fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog so you will still get those posts on a weekly basis but for right now I want to push myself into a healthier verson of myself and I think this blog is really going to help me to do that.
