I've always struggled with my weight and body image. It is difficult to be happy with my appearance when most of my friends and family are naturally petite with smaller frames. But aside from accepting we all have different body shapes and metabolisms, I've learned lack of exercise (and motivation to do so) is the main reason why my weight fluctuates.
I've lost significant weight with weight loss programs like WeightWatchers in the past, but there was usually another motive behind it- a trip, a family gathering, etc. I eventually stop counting and caring, until one day I do a double-take on my reflection. It's at that moment that I realize those extra 2 lbs have turned into over 20 lbs. After pledging to do better, I quickly give up and resume life with my unhealthy habits. At this point, I've gone through the vicious cyle enough times to know what I'm doing wrong: its about making healthier decisions. I'm hoping diet bet will give me an extra incentive to make those choices. Once I get back on track, the feeling I get from a healthy diet and active lifestyle will hopefuly provide me with the biggest incentive to keep going.
