Amanda Kinney - My Big War With Fat

So its about 16 days since wrote last post here and I'm really happy. I have not been running much lately, but I really got used to healthier food. In fact I do not even even feel like it is something what I have to force myself to do. It's almost six months since I started with this and it just feels really natural and normal now. You know that I do not have scale at home and I have not had any opportunity to check my weight lately, but I feel like I have even lost few more pounds even I have not been running much lately. It is great feeling which I just wanted to share with you guy and let you all know that everything is possible and that quality food is the core of all weight problems.

I have finally forced myself to wrap up my findings after almost six months of my war with fat and write it all in single post. First of all I would like to tell you that there is no magic trick, no work for all plan or pill. Everyone is different and everyone has to find they own way how to get fit. This is not my first try, I have tried to lose weight and to get to better shape. I have tried many times before, methods that worked for other people that just have not worked for me. That does not mean those methods were bad, it just mean that everyone is different and everyone needs something different. so even if this does not work for you, do not give up. I strongly believe that anyone can lose weight, you just need to find method that works for you. These are the things that helped me the most: 1. Keeping in mind what my goal really is. Do you think its just losing weight? Wrong. You could lose 30 or even 40 pounds in a month, but that would be no victory. It would...

Here is little update on my effort. It is already several months since I started and i have to say it goes better than expected. I have read huge amount of text all over internet and picked something from all of them. I have also found one really amazing product that I think helps me a lot in my effort. First of all, I will not tell you how much pounds I already lost, because I do not know that. Why? Its because I do not have scale. I used to have one of course, but I threw it away. I'm not interested any more in some short time weight loss. What I'm interested in, is lifelong transformation and for that I do not need scale. I do take pictures though to see how I looked before and I must say I'm very happy with the results so far. If you want to see those picture than I'm sorry, I'm not going to post them here, but I see huge improvement. I will soon make longer post where I will go into details about what helped me the most.

This is only short post about food you really need to have in your diet of you want to transform your body. I guess everyone knows that if you want to stay healthy and fit, you need to eat lot of vegetables. That is absolutely true, but what many people does not know is that you should eat lot of proteins also. Why protein? You need to eat plenty of protein because your muscles need it and if you do not want to be overweight than you need as much muslcles as you can get. Muscles needs plenty of energy and fat is a way how human body storage energy. Go and find list of high protein foods, here are some of my favorites: Fish - most of people does not eat fish and that is very stupid, because fish is just amazing food. It is great source of protein and omega acids. Especially tuna and salmon. Eggs - eggs are superfood, I suggest to eat them every day, its great breakfast food. Meat - many people think that they should not eat meat if they want to to lose weight. huge mistake of cou...

I don't like the word diet, because I do not think any diet that really make you lose weight permanently and that is of course goal of us all. We do not want to lose weight for few weeks or even months, we want to make permanent change that will last t othe end of our lives. If this is something you want to achieve, than I strongly believe that you need to start with your change from the inside. When you are different person inside, it will over time make permanent changes of your body as well. There are very often some deep psychological issues that are the real reason why we do not live healthy and why we are overweight. You need to make change in your life because you love yourself and want something better for yourself, not because you hate yourself. When you achieve this, than actually process of weight loss is the easy part. Merry X-mass everyone and do not forget about your goals. Good luck in next year, we are gonna make it!

Everyone feels stressed sometimes and if you are trying to change your life and lose few pounds than you know it is sometimes extremely stressful. Well, you need to know that stress can be very dangerous and it can damage your fight with weight heavily. Find something that works for you agains stress (except food of course :). When we feel stressed out, it becomes much more difficult for our bodies to burn fat. Find something to relieve stress such as boxing, yoga, thai-chi, writing, reading, hot bath or any sport you like. I would strongly suggest some kind of sport, because it will not only make you feel relaxed, but will of course also burn some calories. Basically anything that will help you relieve pent-up tension and energy is very important. When you are relaxed, you will be happy and losing weight will be much easier.

Today i had first big crisis. For whole day I felt like I do not have any energy and I also craved something to eat that is sweet and fatty. This day so far was really the hardest in my ongoing war with fat, but I can proudly write here that I won the battle. Not only that I did not eat anything bad, but I have also went out and run for solid hour, so I'm really proud about myself. I start think that this whole thing is really about strong will and nothing else. If you have the will, you will achieve your goals. All eventual mistakes you will overcome, so they are not that important, if you have the will, you gonna make it.
