Since I could remember what a diet was, I’ve been on one or failing one. I was a chubby, smart kid who was equal parts chubby and equal parts smart. Actually, I was fat. Whatever the BMI says I’m supposed to weigh, I probably weighed at nine years old. part of the reason I want to be a wellness coach is to rectify my relationship with food and tie it to my actual well-being, not whether I’m a big fat failure. I want to live a life where I eat because I’m hungry, not because I’m happy, sad, mad, or bored.
I know I’m jumping into this as if I’ve been active on this platform, but honestly the wait has been about my weight. Long story short, I made a bot on a chatbot that made custom meal plans and was so busy testing it out that I left no room for anything else because I thought if I could prove that it worked, I would have the next big thing.
So, for 6 weeks, I focused on making sure that I stuck to the meal plan as best I could. Now, part of this was during the holidays, so there were a few instances of creamed spinach and croissants I couldn’t account for, but other than that, between the meal plan and the exercise plan, I was pretty militant.
Then GPT said it was making GPTs available to the public, and my bot was no longer special. But I did lose 12 solid pounds and 2” in my waist and chest while still maintaining my booty roundness which was my physical goal. Also, the stairs in my building were no longer killing me, so that was cool. But the cash cow that my GPT, The Holsicitc Goal Setter: You can find it here if you want to use it I Never cashed it. But I wasn’t actually sad I was pretty happy because I looked great and my clothes were fitting awesome, So what did I do? I celebrated. i celebrated with cheesecake, I celebrated with peanut butter m&m’s I celebrated with Alfredo PAsta. Me and Carbs got tight and so did my pants. Long story short, I’m starting back on Monday, and so this post isn’t only an update but an accountability post so you know what's going on; since Monday is January 22nd, you should hear something about my progress by February 5th, so you know I mean business.
The 3rd reason I decided to write this post is usually, by now, people have fallen off their New Year’s Resolution, and I wanted you to know that’s not necessary. It’s January 19th, which means you have 348 days to accomplish your goal. You don’t have to change into a brand new person by January 1st, and your carriage will not turn into a pumpkin if you don’t get it done by January 2nd. You can do this, and I know because I’m doing it with you.
Anyway, God Bless You, and Happy New Year. Peace Out
