Well, as I stated in my blog post "How can we prevent ourselves from being underweight, overweight, and obesity through diet?", my healthy weight is between 95 and 128 pounds. Currently my weight is at the highest it has ever been. My weight is currently 147 pounds, and my body mass index is 28.7. As we know, that is considered overweight. I started a new job where I sit pretty much all day, and I eat a piece of candy out of the candy bowl in the lobby every time I walk by it. I also drink way too much caffeine. My plan of action is to start small. My biggest issue is the candy jar. How I will combat this is by putting out another bowl that is full of nuts and other small, healthy snacks. the amount of diet soda that I drink. Between the diet soda and coffee, I hardly drink any water. That will be where I start. I will begin measuring my water intake, striving for sixty-four ounces a day. If I'm drinking that much water, then I will not have much room left for any other beverages. Once I have my candy and caffeine problem squash, I will move on to subsituting my unhealthy meals for healthy meals.
Having an action plan is the most important thing I can cling to, and making sure that I do not try and make too many changes at one time is second. If I make too many changes at once, then I will surely fail. Change is difficult, so I am not going to make it too hard if I want the changes to last.
Now that I have completed the nutrition class, I feel like I am armed with icredible knowledge to change my life. I honestly believe that I can make the changes I need to make and stick to them. I feel big changes coming, and I could not be more excited about it!
