Honestly, i can fully agree with that statement. It’s crazy the difference i’ve seen in myself this past month. Not only physically but also in my mentality. Physically i’ve finally decided to start doing something about my body. I’ve always felt some kind of insecurity, and i’ve always wanted to do something about it but i never did. Or at least i tried, that usually only lasted a 3days to a week at most. When it came to my body i always thought it had to do with the physical stuff: running and lifting weights. But, honestly it’s a mental aspect of it all. No it’s not just a fad diet, or a juice fast it’s a lifestyle change. Through this process i’ve learned my body is my temple and it deserves to be treated as one. Don’t get me wrong it’s hard at first, but once you get over that little hill that tells you turn around, you’ll be on an easier road. I’ve learned the importance of clean eating, granted i do have my cheat days and i do drink, it’s a slow process, but i am making improvements. AND i’m seeing progress. Yeah i’m finally dropping those lbs and inches, and i’m LOVING IT. But the one thing i’m loving out of all this, is the difference in my mentality. How much of a difference, it’s hard to explain. but i feel it. I’m a stronger more disciplined person. Cutting out social networks, aside from tumblr of course, has also contributed to this. I’ve learned not to be so caught up in the social world around me, and allowed me to have time for myself. I just have so much to say, but i’m at a loss of words. haha, i can go on and on.
