One of my biggest downfalls over the years has been expecting too much too fast. I have started exercise and healthy eating many times in January over the years and by February was disgusted with the lack of results. I think this is common for many and in this day and time patience is hard to find. Right now you may be going through this stage of..."it's not working so why bother." Don't stop now. It takes time to undo years of bad habits and some people's bodies respond quicker than others. To be honest mine didn't respond at all; my meatbolism what shot out from years of unhealthy eating habits like...no breakfast, processed food, and binge eating .
Your body has four major glands: thyroid, pituitary,adrenal, and gonad that need to function in balance with each other in order for our bodies to function properly. When I say function properly, I mean to utilize food appropriately... burn calories, take in needed nutrients, and dispose of excess waste. When we eat poorly and don't exercise enough these glands get out of balance. When these glands get out of balance it creates cravings and unhealthy eating desires... salty, sweets, and carbohydrates. This usually places excess stress on one or more of the glands. The gland begins to work extra hard to keep up and the others work less; eventually leading to a blow out. Why do so many people have thyroid issuses? Because it has worked so hard of the years with these unhealthy habits it just fizzles out. Can it work again? I believe the answer is yes, but only when the body is back in balance.
The body was designed to be in balance. It is a delicate and very intricate body of systems that work together to function properly. You can't expect it to change over night when it hasn't been maintained appropriately. It is like a lawn mower sitting in a garage for two years, if it hasn't been maintained when you go out to crank it, it's not going to start. At that point you don't have to trash it and get a new one, you just have to give it an overhaul .. change the oil, put in new spark plugs, give it new gas and filters and you are ready to go. It's the same thing with your body; it just needs an overhaul. Be patient do the right things for your body and it will eventually get back in balance and give you the results you desire.
