Podcast
for Journey to My Inner Skinny
Hello
everyone and Welcome to Journey to My Inner Skinny. I am your host, Kay, and today I be talking
to you about the reason I began my journey and about one of the apps I am using
to help me track and achieve my goals.
For
those of you who know me, you know me as a highly confident girl who has never
had a problem with seeing beauty in herself.
Some call it conceitedness. EH! Either way, I have never had a problem with
loving myself. I still love myself and
know my beauty, but recently the weight gain I see when I look at myself in the
mirror, and the fact that my clothes are screaming for some relief, has me a
little, well, uncomfortable with the girl I am now.
So
my journey began when I knew I didn’t want to be the fat friend in the crowd
and I was tired of feeling like I didn’t want people to see me the way that I
am. My journey began when I realized
that my stretchy gym clothes were the only clothes I wanted to put on every
day.
So
a trip to a wellness center where I could find out my BMI, and get a nutrition
guide and also a fitness guide laid out for me is what has been helping. Learning to set my goals and eat the right
way to achieve weight loss has helped me a lot.
Counting calories, something I said I would never do, has been a very
important part of everything. I couldn’t
do it on my own, so when I was introduced to an app that could help me do this,
I was all in. MyFitnessPal is a great
app that helps me keep track of the things I am putting into my mouth all
day. There are foods preprogramed in the
app for people like me who are clueless and don’t have the time or patience to
weigh everything. You can scan the
labels of the things you’re eating and even find a restaurant’s menu items and
log calories when you are eating out. I
can log my workouts, and keep in touch with friends who are using the app for
support. I have really liked using this
app so far and I encourage anyone who is trying to lose weight to use it.
So
far, my journey has been slow, but I am finding a happier Kay and a much more
energized Kay. So something has to
working, right? That my time. Thanks you for listening to Journey to My Inner
Skinny.
