While I was checking the blog today, I noticed that I received a comment on yesterday's post. This comment was unlike anything I have ever received before. I have received everything from inspirational comments to the comments that give great tips and recipes. However, the comment that was written today wasn't a tip, a piece of advice, or an inspirational quote. It was from a person asking me two questions. The first question was. "Do you drink water all day?" and the second question was, "What meals would you recommend to me?" It turns out this person has been trying to lose weight and is having a hard time doing so. After reading the questions, I was immediately blown away. Here was this person that I have never met before, asking me advice on how to help them get healthier. He or she has been following my blog for the last couple of days and trusted me enough to ask for my advice. I didn't want to mess up my response back to this person, so I made sure to take my time and I answered the questions to the best of my ability.
I personally believe that being able to have someone or some people to help you get through the good and the bad times is very important. Having a support group can only enhance the chances of you being successful and reaching your goals. I am going to extend the same invitation out to everyone who follows this blog as I did to my new friend who wrote the comment on yesterday's post. Please feel free to comment anytime on this blog or feel free to email me with any questions, advice, or if you just want to chat. My email address is - theheavymansdiary@gmail.com. I know from experience how hard it can be, not only trying to lose weight, but trying to accomplish some thing when you are doing it by yourself.
With that being said, let's get to the details of the day:

Ohhh Thank YOU!
ReplyDeleteI asked you because in some way or the other you understand how hard it can be to lose weight. I have tried a couple of times before and I always give up when I don't see results in a week or two. I don't want to do that this time (even though I gained one pound) =/ It is really frustrating, and it is killing me.
I am a girl by the way. My name is Tatiana and I am 17 years old
Hi Tatiana,
ReplyDeleteIt is very nice to officially meet you.
Believe me, I have tried a ton of times to lose weight and every time I have come up short. It is not because I was doing anything wrong. It was because I didn't take the time to understand what I was doing. I would constantly see all of these commercials on Tv of people losing weight and looking like models. Even the pictures on the health magazines would be making me depressed. It took me a while but I finally understood that losing weight takes time and a lot of hard work. It is not just a fad but a lifestyle. You will get there if you keep on on working hard.
Also remember that everyone's body is different, it is just trying to find out what works correctly for you. I personally believe that eating correctly and exercising is the right way to go.
Please don't hesitate to ask any more questions or comment on anything. I will always be here as a shoulder for you to lean on.
Thank you for introducing yourself and I look forward to hearing back for you soon.
