I wrote my post yesterday, truly believing I had a simple solution to improve my life/ health. "Do more exercise". And that doing that would absorb my energy and I might not be posting here. I am stuck home today. Not able to do exercise due to health reasons. It is obviously more complicated.
Yet here I am:
She knows more about it than me. One of the things that people that lose weight say a lot is that if you lose it quickly. You also get it back quickly. I have lost it quickly previously. When she posted this I was getting results and thought I knew better. But I have, in fact, gained more back.
She stated that she gained 2 million followers on youtube and ran marathons, and both of those things were not as hard as losing weight. I think somewhere along the lines of 45 lb's.
The thing that I want to emphasize here. Is not her specific advice. Even though parts of it are definitely good and relevant to me. The point is, is that this is the amount of care and attention that is needed to improve health outcomes.
One of the things she says is that you need time to move these habits into your life. A person needs six months to focus on one specific thing. What the nutritionists and personal trainers do is that they overload people with all these things at once, and then the person tries it for a while but falls out with it.
There are many things she has said here that I will not need to do, and many areas I need to put effort into which she has not mentioned. (Pearl does a lot of exercise so didn't mention that!) But the point of looking at it all carefully and slowly integrating changes into a persons life I think is a good idea.
