My family never stressed the importance of healthy eating or exercise?
two_kee_kees asked:
I am now an adult, and am fully aware of the importance of healthy eating habits and exercise, yet I can’t seem to do either. I know I need to take charge and make better decisions, so how can I get that upbringing out of the back of my conscious and start being healthier? My whole family is overweight, except for myself and my sister, but we both struggle to stay at healthy weights. What can I do?
I HAVE been healthy before, but this past year I gained 20 lbs and quit eating well. I just need someone to kick me in the **** and get me going!

Make up your mind to do it. It’s totally within your control, you just have to want to do it badly enough. Will power and self control.
I’ve been where you are…raised by a Mom who was a great southern cook…we ate well, but not healthy. I topped out at over 230 pounds a number of years ago…
Through watching what I eat, and exercising regularly (5 days a week, an hour a day) I got my weight under control and now am an acceptable size and can fit into those size 8’s I’d always wanted to.
Make a lifestyle change…do it for you…leave the excused of how you were raised behind. Good luck!

Discipline, control and focus are very hard to maintain when it comes to eating healthy and exercise. It is essential that you be consistent. It is hard, especially in the beginnning. Even when you do not feel like following through with this regiment, that is when it most crucial. Beleive me it gets easier and easier.
Hemorrhoid Symptoms
You might just have a low setpoint… sorry but if your family is all overweight then your setpoint (metabolism) is designed to be slow as well
But there are ways you can speed it up… natural ways, like tea, hot peppers, exercise, increasing muscle, apple cider vinegar…
I think you could remove all the junk from your house and keep only healthy food around, so that you’ll have no chouce but to eat them, and eventually you’ll grow to love them because you’ve eaten them so much and for so long!
That’s what always happens…
Hemorrhoid Cure
I was in the same situation a few months back when I decided to get healthy. I took baby steps. For instances I started walking every night for about 20 minutes. If you have a family like me you might have to actually schedule time to do it, but don’t feel guilty for taking time for yourself. I had the biggest problem with that. After a few weeks I was used to doing something every night so I started throwing in other stuff like 50 crunches every night. Sounds like a-lot but its not really if you do sets of 10 or 20 and different kinds of crunches. After a few weeks of that start to do strength training a few nights a week. That whole time I paid no attention to what I was eating, I just ate as I normally did. After I got used to exercising every night (about 2 months), then I started on eating healthier. Once again just take baby steps here as well or you will be setting yourself up for failure if you have to do a-lot of different things all at once. Also once you start don’t stop it is very easy to fall in a rut and revert back to not doing anything.
Hemorrhoid treatment
I think when it comes to diet and exercise, you have to ask yourself a very important question. How much do you care about yourself? It is up to you to make a commitment to set aside a little time each day for exercising. Sooner or later you will reap the benefits and actually want to work out. As far as dieting is concerned, just focus on each individual day. Don’t go to the extreme, because you are only setting yourself up for failure. Just make small changes throughout the day. And at night, simply walk away from that huge slice of chocolate cake. It’s all up to you to live a healthy lifestyle. Good Luck!

Hemorrhoid Cure
Everyone wants to live a long life and it is said that those who eat healthy and exercise have a good chance of achieving this.
God has promised each of us a life span of 3 scores and 10,
which is 70 years and if we treat our bodies well, and live in a loving environment, extra years are added.
If you are still living at home, it is a good idea to assist with the food preparation. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean cuts of meat, fish, chicken, or turkey are some suggestions.
Lots of water.
If you live in a safe neighborhood, walk to the store instead of drive, take the stairs, not the elevator. walk back and forth to the bus stop.
Lastly, put small reminder signs on the refrigerator, or places where it can be seen by the family. EG. “” STAY HEALTH FOR LIFE, EAT RIGHT AND EXERCISES”". “”BE GOOD TO YOUR BODY, AND IT WILL BE GOOD TO YOU”"
Good luck.
