My Healthy Diet Plans
Succeeded with the Right Attitude
In trying to find the best healthy diet plans, I used to read women’s magazines.
Cosmopolitan for advice, Vogue for fashion, and Shape for health tips. The more I read these magazines the uglier and lumpier I felt, especially after delivering my third child. My closet doesn’t feature the latest styles from Paris nor do I have a personal make up artist. I guess I’ll never be a supermodel named “Elke”, even if I changed my name.
One of the best things I ever did was to throw out those magazines. They only made me feel inadequate. I immediately felt better, but I needed an easily obtainable source of information on eating.
My husband reads Men’s Health magazine which features food and fitness tips. Instead of wishing that everything on my body was a few inches higher, I found myself focusing on nutrition and exercise.
This is my shameless, unsolicited plug for Men’s Health. If you are a man, buy it for the articles. Seriously. If you are a woman, buy it for the articles. Seriously.
The folks at Men’s Health recently launched “Women’s Health.” I have a subscription but prefer to read Men’s Health.
When I read Women's Health, I still have those same anxieties about watching a 20 something supermodel demonstrating how to do a lunge with her cute outfit, matching exercise mat, and coordinating barbells. I do think it is an excellent magazine with great information for women. My husband now reads Women’s Health and gives me the highlights. I hope he doesn’t find it necessary to buy me matching barbells.
Once I tackled my body image, I examined other parts of my attitude.
My light bulb moment came during a day involving a plumber, the local fire fighters and a coconut cream pie.
What I learned made me focus on an integral part of any successful, long term healthy diet plan.
