Overwhelmed

I'd just like to take a moment or two to talk about how overwhelmed this whole weight loss process can be.  There are SO many factors to consider- vitamins, minerals, fruits, vegetables, lean meat, healthy oil, water consumption, etc etc etc! And then there's the timing of eating and exactly which foods to eat at what time.  And should I eat organic? Should I add flaxseed or wheat germ? Do I need more fiber or calcium or folic acid or what?  If so, how do I get that? And then there's exercise:  How much? How often? When? Which exercises?

Ugh, its so confusing and overwhelming.  I feel like there's all this information being thrown at me and I don't really know what to make of it all.  I want to make the best choices but sometimes I get so frustrated with knowing what even IS the right decision, that I just throw in the towel and give up.  That doesn't justify my behavior, but I'm just saying that its hard.

But I guess if it was easy, I would have done it a long time ago....

  1. woa!! one thing at a time girly! start with a balanced diet and some exercise. Then gradually add in things. Make a change and stick with it. If you try to do too much in one day your head may spin out of control and that would be unsightly ;-) have you read joyce meyers "look great feel great"? anyway, she talks about slowly developing good habbits. Good luck :O)
