Shift in perspective
 

Up until the last month or so, I used to have a very negative perspective on getting healthy. I used to think that going to the gym was hard work, a chore, when I would rather just sit at home and do nothing. I used to eat pizzas and burgers and enjoy them for 15 mins, then feel horrible after. I used to see no option of ENJOYING healthier foods.. I used to drink 2 - 3 cans of coca cola a day, among other fizzy pop.

And I don't understand how or why, but my perspective has shifted massively.
Last night I actually said to a friend "I can't wait to go to the gym tomorrow and work my triceps and legs!". I have started eating REGULARLY, not skipping meals, and eating more fulfilling food. I admit, I used to go to mcdonalds sometimes on lunch just because it was easier!

Now, at 6am in a morning I ENJOY an omelatte with 3 eggs. I enjoy eating cerial, and fruit, and chicken wraps, ham on wholemeal cobs, light ribena as a drink instead of Monster or fizzy pop..

There are no excuses to not being healthy. Last night, I didn't plan for todays meals at work. Usually, I would just end up not eating and binging on sugar filled foods like crisps all day. Not any more, I went to tesco, bought a banana, some strawberries, a yoghurt, a pack of ham, and at home I packed some bread for the ham.

This post is a bit all over the place but, I hope it gives someone motivation to see the light, and realise that cutting out all the crap foods and lack of exercise really really does make you feel a lot better in life.

My muscles in my arms and chest have been growing, I have noticed it, chicks notice it, and it fills me with even more confidence making me wana go to the gym and rip it up more and beat the weights I did last time!

Edit: Oh and I don't think I would have achieved this without the advice and motivation from people on this forum, so thank you to everyone who has helped me! I'm not at where I wana be yet, but I am making progress slowly but surely.

see, youve got the power of the force growing inside you!!!
just wait until you are nailing some chick and she is staring and feeling your chest and shoulders and telling you, you look amazing..hahah

Aah yes, the necessary shift in beliefs. I can't remember when I had my epiphany, but it changes everything. Plus you can build on it and strengthen your new beliefs
