Keep It Interesting to Keep in Shape
Have you noticed lately that everywhere you turn there are advertisements for the newest, latest, best diet available? They all promise that if you do this or do that you will lose weight fast and look like a supermodel. Let’s be real for a minute and come back down to reality. Any product or service that promises to take twenty or thirty pounds off of you in a month is either illegal or deadly because that’s just not possible to do. Losing weight and keeping it off is a total lifestyle change and reformation. You have to make the decision to change, and more importantly you have to want to change. Make no mistake that it’s going to be difficult, and you will probably want to give up more than one or twice along the way, but if you will stick with it you will not only look better but feel better too. It’s normal to cheat on a diet and to fall of the band wagon, but the thing to keep in mind is to make sure that you get back on as soon as possible and keep putting one foot in front of the other.

What I'm Doing to Get Ready for My Vacation
**DISCLAIMER** Every body is beautiful. Every body is perfect. There is no "right" or "wrong" way to look. None of the things I say in this article mean to sound as though I'm putting down anyone else. Want a "Summer body?" Put on a bathing suit. The changing of the seasons, Internet trends, or anything else should not influence your appearance or how you feel you have to look. Just because these things work for me, doesn't mean they will work for you or be practical. This is purely me sharing my experience and mine alone.

My Weight Loss Journey
Hi, my name is Naima. For the past four years, my weight has changed drastically. I've always been the average size for my height and I worked out three times a week during my teen years to stay in shape. Something happened in college where I completely lost myself. I lost interest in everything that I loved, I didn't know who I was and who I wanted to be. I guess some people will say that I was depressed and maybe I was? IDK. But I was definitely in a "funk" that lasted for a while. I didn't know who I wanted to talk to or what to even talk to them about. So I went on with my life being in a funk. I gained weight and I fell out of love with myself. For some people, weight gain is something that is easy to change by going on a diet and working out. But for some of us, working out and eating healthy is easier said than done. I would go grocery shopping where I bought healthy food, but that didn't matter. My mind wanted something else. I remember crying to my mom last year about how I wanted to lose weight and I didn't know where to start. My mother decided that she wanted to help me by getting me a personal trainer and a nutritionist. She held me accountable for whenever I wanted to go back to my old eating habits and pushed me to see my trainer twice every week. Weight loss isn't complicated, but unfortunately, our brain makes it out to be. Is it hard eating healthy? Kind of. Is it hard working out? Kind of. I'm only saying kind of because once you get used to it, it becomes easier. Once you start experimenting with healthier food options, then eating healthy isn't that bad. Once you start working out regularly and find your own rhythm, fitness becomes enjoyable, therapeutic even.
