The school just started but we're already on holiday! Today is Visakha Bucha Day , a public holiday in Thailand. Another holiday is coming up on Monday to celebrate Royal Ploughing Ceremony. I got a chance to mingle with my girl friends and one topic we discussed is about how to lose weight.
I shared to them that we should make wise food choices, deal with our stress, and making physical activity a priority could help shed some weight. My "body-conscious" friend told us that all of what I mentioned are impossible to gain result if the mental aspect of weight loss is overlooked. I did agree with her because I remembered my mom telling me that if she didn't commit to lose some weight, maybe she'll grow heavier than what she attained now. I call her commitment, willpower.
With our discussion this morning, I decided to start making a commitment to start losing weight right now by making a few simple changes like drinking a glass of water rather than having an afternoon coke, walk up and down a flight of our stairs for 10 minutes rather than using my siesta time eating a snack, get up 10 minutes early and go for a brisk walk rather than hitting the snooze button (which I'm guilty of...) or do 10 minutes of exercise rather than watching television after work. Committing to this plan doesn't assure me to lose weight overnight but isn't it better to permanently change my life for the better? My friend suggested that while sticking on this plan and doing them, I have to recite this ten times a day: My Health Is More Important Than My Appearance.
Will you join me on my way to better health? You should! Let's not forget to have willpower to say yes to better health.
