An interesting thing has been happening as I lose weight on my diet. Not only is my blood pressure decreasing and my blood chemistry coming back in line, I have found I am feeling better about myself. I always felt I had a good self esteem, but looking back I realize I was becoming disgusted with how I looked and felt it reflected on who I was. I was also becoming increasingly frustrated about not being able to participate in activities that I normally found enjoyable, like soccer with my kids, running, and even hiking.
However, with the loss in weight I am finding my attitude about myself is changing. I feel like I am able to be in control of things that have controlled me in the past. I like looking in the mirror and seeing progress towards how I want to look. Again, there are many benefits to losing a few pounds and this is just another on. I am enjoying the side benefits of starting to live more healthy.
