Healthy weight loss

Thursday, February 14, 2013

Ok..so ive been sick with bronchitis/tonsilities for about three weeks now. In this time Ive also noticed that although the weight has been coming off me still...I LOOK alot thinner than I should for what Ive lost. Im putting this down to being a little dehydrated and quite sick. But its frustrating as so many people i have seen have commented, gee your looking good these days...despite the fact Im pale, coughing up a lung, got a red raw runny nose and my hair, nails and skin look terrible from all the antibiotics Ive been on. It amazes me how often the indicator of 'looking good' is your weight. People seem to have looked beyond the fact I look visibly sick and all they are noticing is that i look slimmer, and thus better. It will never cease to amaze me people definitions of beauty. Thank god I have a couple of friends who see past this and have been on my case about getting better!

    I think that part of the learning while on the healthy journey is leaning how to overcome illness and injury. To many people end up gaining weight when they are sick due to lack of exercise and a tendency to want to feed the cold. It is great that you are at least still losing. Patience and care will get you better again and then you will really look good.
