Losing 100 Pounds: Article Response (6)
The specifics of what I’m going to eat and what kinds of activities I’m going to do will be revealed in time: What enjoyable options do I have today to meet my basic criteria? (As stated above: eat more good, eat less bad, exercise more, and be happy about it.) I was more successful at planning my “program” on a day-to-day basis because I really felt like taking the time to cook and plan meals and go to the gym for workouts actually created more work and made the whole process a huge annoying chore…the opposite of productive. The other problem with these diet plans is that they’re temporary. They’re not the “lifestyle change” (yeah, I know that’s an annoying phrase) that’s going to be required if you’re going to lose 100 pounds, they’re just a temporary adjustment. If you’re going to follow a diet plan, make sure it’s one you can live with for a long time – make sure you’re eating foods that are not only good for your body, but that are good for your soul, too.
