be healthy and happy

Good health contributes to happiness and I would love to accomplish both, therefore I’m going to take the necessary steps in achieving happiness and great health.

I suppose this is a somewhat vague goal but I’ve definitely been working on it, changing my diet and eating much healthier in addition to working out on a daily basis, whether it be walking, biking or lifting weights. I’m definitely determined to do this and want to make this a lifestyle, not a fad like it’s been in the past that just drops off after a few months. I’ve kept up with my diet for a few months now and I have no intention of breaking it :) The exercise is great and has also become a habit….and habits are the best way to maintain good behaviors ^_

You should be very concerned at your age. Have you visited a nutritionist? You should consider after you have a medical doctor’s full approval to make drastic dietary changes.

Losing weight is not something to take lightly. You probably have a medical condition that is keeping you from obtaining your goals. I suggest you seek professional help.

Good luck.

Hi! i am a 24 year old teacher who always had a great shape, happy, loved to laugh, and go out….Last year in November, I started to suddenly get obsessed with food and lil by lil as the months went by I started to eat less/make mysefl throw up. B march, i went from 110 pounds down to 90. I am crying as I type this because its now September and when I weight myself a few days ago i am still only about 92. I started to go up and then I started to work out a lot. I have seen nutritionists and they told me I have to eat extra, and I am going to feel bloated but just let that be until I get back to my size. i used to be the type to go out for dessert with my boyfriend quite often and then I stopped it. I now started to do that again but most times after I eat it i complain I had too much and that i am hurting my body. I justr started a new job and I found myself eating breafast at 6:30am, lunch at 12:30pm, and dinner at 6:30 pm…i know I should snack in-between but i am afraid. today I had oatmeal with apple cider for breakfast, lunch PB and jelly on weight watchers bread, and dinner i had turkey chili with some blue corn chips and sour cream. I measured out two cups of chili and I really enjoyed it all. But, now I am feeling guilty like 2 cups of chili was tooo much. Now, I am starting to think of what I am going to eat tomorrow. I know I am doing better, eating, and find myself happier, as last year I was not happy with my job and got so stressed. When i started last week this new job I find myself calmer and with people who are more on my level, so i really want to get better. i am just afraid that I am over eating or will gain the weight but put too much on….I need help!!!

ive gotten to the point where im so disgusted by the eating habits of other people that im going to make it a point to be healthy. maybe ill even be vegetarian and support animal rights… except fish.. i love sushi too much lol… and its a good source of protien!
