Re-post from April 5th, 2015

Forgive me for being so lazy these past few days.  I have not been up to writing a plan well, because I have one.  However, I have been too lazy to follow it.  I realize that I need to get back on track and eat well and exercise.  That has been harder for me than I realize.  I have all but given up on myself. I tend to overwhelm easily and that has been the problem.  I have grown lazy that my desire is to give up.  I don't want to, but how do I keep myself from being so overwhelmed?  I promised that I will be on this plan for over a year.  I have had less than perfection over the past few weeks.  I have to constantly remind myself that I am a diabetic who wishes to finish her journey and lose weight.  I am concerned that I have gained all of my weight back.  If this will be the case, tomorrow, maybe I realize that I can do better and learn from this.  I don't want to gain all of my weight back, but if I do, I will be reminded that there will be much at stake, at least for me. This would include being diabetic and having suffered the complications of diabetes.  All of those things could be prevented if I just eat healthy and exercise.  Why oh why can I apply not know how to do what is simple?  Why does it have to be complicated?  I feel like I have regressed on the plan and I am wasting money.  I will have to do a better job.  That is all.

Planning a meal and diet plan

I know that I have not made any plans, but that is because I have made one in the past.  Sadly, I have little knowledge on HOW to follow a plan.  I know that if I were to follow a plan, then maybe I would have a great chance of losing weight.  I am on a healthy eating program and nowadays, I feel that I am wasting money on the program.  I don't eat healthy and I don't really exercise.  I however, wish to make more plans that I intend to follow.  However, how to I go about making those plans and why do I have to make those plans?  In other words, what are my goals? How do I determine what are the portion sizes?  How do I eat in moderation? What exercises would be good for me specifically, or at least for now?  Those are the questions that I need to answer whenever I make a meal plan or an exercise plan.
