After just over a year on OA, and working hard to improve my eating and exercise, things are finally falling into place.
These days, I eat 2-3 healthy meals a day, exercise roughly 5x a week at the gym, and am attending OA meetings regularly.
I’m feeling better, eating better, and the muscle that atrophied over the last five years of not exercising is coming back.
It’s taken – is taking – a lot of dedication and consistency, and the results are starting to show.
Gone are my old habits of eating family sized blocks of chocolate and litres of Pepsi Max every night. Instead I drink plain bubbly water (thanks to my soda stream), and when I feel like a snack I have a piece of fruit or some low calorie jelly.
It’s nowhere near perfect yet. I still occasionally binge, and I’d like to be able to say no on our weekly workplace morning teas, but I’m getting better.
It’s true what they say about consistency. You just have to keep coming back to OA, and keep practicing the good habits instead of the bad. It’s not easy – not one bit – but it will become a lifestyle if you keep working.
It’s becoming a lifestyle for me 😁
