I used to think that it is enough to eat small portions and as little as possible to look and feel amazing. I was like that when I was a teenager. I did not worry about what I was eating outside my home. My parents have been always devoted to fresh, home cooking and wanted us to eat as healthy as possible. I was following it until I started a high school where I started eating a junk food on breaks. This brought me to overeating and eating the wrong foods. I was constantly hungry. I did not pay attention to what I was eating. I was on diet for a while, eating very little and then going back again to the same bad habits of eating the wrong foods! Eventually, I was putting on weight more and more… I know exactly what it is like to go through stages like that where you are motivated enough (at least that is what you think) to stop eating bad things and concentrating on eating fresh, healthy foods or when you can not (no matter what and no matter how bad and guilty you feel after eating the foods you should not have eaten) stop eating whether it is healthy food or not. Only for the last few years I have realized how important and crucial for our health it is to eat healthy and to stay active, no matter what sport you like, as long as you have at least 15 minute walk or a ride on your bike, it will do so much goodness for your body, for your heart and your blood glucose level! No matter what age you are, it is never too late to improve your diet, change your mind on certain subjects concerning healthier nutrition and lifestyle, like lowering your sugar consumption or increasing your activity, it is so easy. All it takes is our motivation, courage and believing in yourself!
