Hi Steemit Friends,
Through out the years of my weight controlling I've realized I've made more than one mistakes on the wrong understanding about dieting or losing weight.
Diet can be very unhealthy and here are some of the things i did wrong.
1.Skipping Meals
I thought i would lose weight faster and i did, but the process made me feel starved and unhappy a lot. This works well and worked for me for a while until i notice some changes. My hair started to get thinner even until now that i'm eating better it's still fairly thin due to past diets. The long hours with out food the body goes into a "fasting" mode and can cause nutrient deficiencies. I was not putting enough into my body so through time it has lower but surely showing some unhealthy signs.
2. Working Out Too Much Or Too Little
Exercise is awesome but it can also be an addiction. People who starts exercise a lot cant stop and i used to be one of those. I would feel bad not to work out. I saw that i was consumed by it, so i tried stopping. When i stopped for while i got lazy and didn't want to do any. It's difficult to be disciplined but balanced it at the same time which is important.
3. Think Of Nothing Else
When i started thinking so much about my body i started getting obsessed and it started to be all i'd talk about and focus about.Everything was around how my body looked and felt but i forgot that my growth in other things are as important and i cant be only focusing on this. It was really hard to not face this when you are in the industry i was in all people commented was how you look so it's important that i drifted to self developments in other ways.
Everyone makes mistakes and i was that one person who harmed myself through dieting in some ways i dint even know. Sometimes i purposely don't go to socialized because i was scared i would eat too much. As i acknowledge it i started to change and become more balanced. I want to share to you all and think what are you doing today that your body doesn't appreciate. Listen to your body and dont be hard on yourself. Cherish yourselves.
Much love, Chixy Wilson
