When I got Wii Fit back in May 2008, I used it every day for about four months. I lost a bunch of weight and got in good enough shape that I had abs. But then, I got bored with it since it was the same stuff over and over again and way too easy. And laziness and unhealthy eating took over and I gained back 2/3rds of the weight that I had lost.
But yesterday, Dan bought the Gold’s Gym Wii game and I gave it a shot this morning. Since I’m officially “overweight” again and out of shape, I’m gonna start slow, but it looks fun already. Boxing and a lot of cardio, something Wii Fit doesn’t have.
This isn’t about food though, to be honest. I’m not going to change my eating habits, since they’re not horrible. My main issue is being lazy. I need to be more physically active. Going to the garden on Wednesday helped remind me that it’s fun to walk around and get exercise.
It’ll probably be slow going, but I gotta work on it.
I was obsessed with my weight from the time I turned 18 and became less active and grew into a woman’s shape. I had always been a bit chunky and this just was something I wasn’t going to tolerate. For a few years, my weight would fluctuate from a slightly too high number to a way too low one.
In the past few years, I’ve stopped that. When the Wii Fit came out, I lost a bunch of weight and gained some muscle mass; however, I got bored with it quickly since there wasn’t much to do. Now, I’ve gained some back, but I’m not uncomfortable enough to want to lose it. I’ve finally realized I’m going to be chubby just because I’m short and I like candy too much.
The thing that bothers me turns out not to be the gut or the smushy parts, but the fact that my clothes no longer fit. I’m really broke now because of student loans and such, and I can’t afford to rebuy summer clothes! It’s a refreshing attitude coming from this twenty-six year old, in comparison to me at twenty-one, starving myself, obsessing over food.
I just obsess over more healthy things now.
