I Don't Want to be Kirstie Alley

Don't get me wrong, Kirstie Alley is beautiful, especially for being 60. I just don't want to continue to struggle with my weight until I'm 60. I think every other year Kirstie is either struggling with her weight or has found some new magic wonderful program that works for her. Maybe the issue isn't the type of diet she is doing, but the fact that she looks at it as a diet.


Losing weight shouldn't just be for 30 days or until you reach your goal weight. It should be a lifestyle change. Obviously what you're doing now, isn't working.
All of that food you stuff in your face, isn't good for you. If you eat like crap now and barely work out, then following a new workout plan and changing your eating habits slightly will NOT give you lasting results. You'll work your butt off, lose the weight and say "I think I deserve a pizza". Not a slice of pizza, but a pizza. That's CRAZY you don't work out so you can stop and eat like crap. By thinking of a diet as a diet you set yourself up for failure. You tell yourself you'll get through the next 30 days and then you can have that brownie, pasta or the huge sundae you saw at Perkins. 


Why not learn to eat healthier and make a lifestyle change where sweets and things that just aren't good for you aren't what you have everyday. What if you ate healthy every day of the month instead of just during the week? It's ok to have a SMALL brownie or something like pasta or pizza every now and again, don't deprive yourself. But think of how falling off the bandwagon has hurt you before. Are you able to stay on track after you have that brownie? Or is it followed by a trip to Panda Express? And the next day breakfast is sponsored by McDonalds?

I don't want to be the person who loses a ton of weight and then slowly gains it all back. I know I can do this, changing your diet isn't hard. I just have to be conscious of what I'm putting in my mouth and think twice about those cookies and brownies. Sweets kill me. I'm going to start with the Paleo Diet as a life change, and every now and again I'l allow myself a sweet treat... and then I'll go back to the gym.
