Energised!

So far so good on this low carb diet. I am not actually following Atkins, I am too lazy to actually follow any diet strictly! I am just cutting processed carbs from my diet. I have to say, I have had more energy over the past few days then I have had in years. I am not sure if it is related to this diet, but I hope I continue to feel this good.

The other great thing I noticed is that while I was packing up my pantry for my big move to the suburbs I made a pile of food I had to leave out that I would need over the next couple of weeks. I was shocked to find that the only items I needed from my pantry were a couple of spices. All other food I am eating is fresh from the fridge. Normally I rely heavily on pasta, rice, muesli bars, rice cakes and packet sauces. It has been great preparing and eating all fresh and unprocessed foods.

On another note, I was tagged by Marshmallow...

What's something you'd love to say to your younger selves of 2, 5, 10, and 15 years ago?

2 years ago

I was 25 years old, I would say be patient and don't expect your career to happen over night. Enjoy your work and study and just chill out for a while and have some fun. You are on the right track and you will get there. Also, awesome work on that 20 kilo weight loss, you are looking great!

I was 22 years old, I would say that you have the strength to pull yourself out of this mess and that things will get better. You are not worthless and you don't have to continue to allow yourself to be treated like you are. Hang in there, things will get better.

10 years ago

I was 17 years old, I would say that you are about to embark on the time of your life- have fun and enjoy it, you are only young once. Oh I wish I could be you again!

15 years ago

I was 12 years old, I would say to be yourself and don't change for anyone. People will like you if you stay true to who you are. Also, you are not as fat as you think you are, don't stress about it and stop dieting!
