It’s funny how people see an overweight person and immediately assume that they are fat because they love food. That is usually not the case.
For me, when I was over 20KG overweight, it was because I was an emotional eater. When I was stressed out, I would eat. When I was sad, I would eat. I also celebrated my successes with food! It pretty much became my panacea.
Till one day the obvious truth became so apparent. Food made me feel better only briefly, but the long term effects were sooo detrimental to my mental and physical health. I knew it was time to make a change. So now whenever I feel stressed out or sad, I just go to the gym instead of eating unhealthy food. It hasn’t been easy!
Been on this journey for over a year now. I hope that by sharing this, someone somewhere who is going through a similar journey will be encouraged.
I’ll be sharing my wellness journey with you guys here in my diary so stay tuned.
Love,
