6 Struggles of Losing Weight

We have all had a point in our life's where we look in the mirror not satisfied, realizing that our clothes were failing to making us look good. The first thing we do is complain to our friends how we are going to start the process of working out and having a healthier life style. But of course there are always those two types of people. People who of course can go weeks and months with working out and those who are like me and struggle of letting someone take away the bag of chips out of our hands. Although I am still bothered with reality and that gaining weight is so much easier than loosing weight, I'm still in denial and over here still trying to convince myself that its just "baby fat". Okay, dramatic, but the idea and process of wanting to work out and get in shape comes along with a long list of struggles. These struggles are the ones that are one heck of a challenge...well at least for me!

Struggle #1:

The struggle is real when you find yourself trying not to think about food, but you eventually end up taking a nice evil walk to the refrigerator to eat the unhealthiest thing you can find.


Struggle #2:

We all know that Monday. After you finish eating all the delicious food in the fridge, you realize it's the day you were supposed to watch what you were eating, and are constantly pushing the date to start to the following week for about a year.


Struggle #3:

The struggle to make time to do that thing people call exercise. Probably the hardest part when you would rather be lifting a slice of pizza to your mouth.

Struggle #4:

And lets just talk about the struggle of having to debate whether or not you want to be the person who makes a healthy choice by saying no, but get the whole party to look at you as if you are crazy or to just say yes and eat that delicious cake.

Struggle #5:

Realizing that the closest thing you will ever get to having a thigh gap are two pieces of chicken on your plate and that loosing weight is going to be a long road...and you eat the the friend chicken on your plate.

Struggle #6: Looking in mirror and realizing that you do not have abs yet by only doing 10 crunches and stepping of the scale to check if you at least dropped a a few ounces, but begin to question on how maybe your scale need knew batteries because you gained 2 pounds.

Taylor Swift in orange dress playing a moss-covered piano on stage with bright lights.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
