A lot of women want to be thin and healthy, this I know. And I am one of them. I know I can do this my way. His way would work even better and probably give me more detailed and faster results. But his way is so damn harsh! LOL He explained that I would have to give him complete control for lack of a better way of putting it. Which means, I eat what he says, I exercise what and when he says. My issue with this, is that I do not want to become a slave to my own body. Does that make sense?
As I have stated before, I do not deny myself all things good to eat. I don't think that is a good idea. My way is portion control and trying to eat right. His way will be balls to the wall, get her done kind of diet. And there is that word I hate, DIET! It will be an automatic exclusions of most carbs I am sure, all sugar and starches, etc...Wow, I sound like a whiny baby, huh? I think I am just afraid, afraid of the failure. At least with my way, I am not set up for immediate failure. As long as I stick to what I am doing, eventually I will get to where I want to be. No frowny faces if I take a big bite of my husband's brownie. No feeling guilty if I skipped a salad or something. Working with a personal trainer however, this is going to be tough!
Maybe it is a blessing in disguise. Maybe it is just what I need to get the weight off and keep it off. Maybe, just maybe...I can really to this! I think it will make me more likely to stick to the plan if I have to answer to someone. I don't know, we'll see how it goes. Along with the benefits of using a personal trainer, comes the expense. That is why I cannot just jump in. I have to figure out how long I will have to use his services before I can be left on my own to do this and get the final costs. I am getting a lump sum raise next month, and I think this is going to be a good thing to invest that money in. Until then, I think I am going to start weighing myself like this:
So much to look into to, so much to plan for and so much to accomplish! I can't wait to meet my new body someday. I am sure she is fabulous! Until I can start with the trainer, I am going to stick to my current regimen and hopefully see some size reduction soon. I found this on the web and thought it would useful to share with all of you: (Via naturopathyworks.com)
