Skinny Bitch or perhaps a textbook.
A diet journal.
Add a note: "This isn't the gift you want, but it's the gift you need."
Someone already wrote that book. The abusive tone gets really grating about five pages in.
it's kind of a controversial book, but 'skinny bitch' was enough to make me go vegan (for 9 months) within a week of reading it (i had only gone vegetarian a month prior). it draws people in because it sounds like a weight loss book (which it does touch on), but it gives a lot of eye-opening information about the meat/dairy industries. it is a bit vulgar, but if you don't mind that here's a link; http://www.amazon.com/Skinny-Bitch-Rory-Freedman/dp/0762424931
First off, good for you! It takes a lot of balls to decide to work towards a positive change in yourself.
I am by no means an expert. However, I'm relatively new to the fitness game as well, so here are some general daily tips/tricks I've picked up and thoroughly benefit from. [I noticed that this post is all about me, and I apologize, but it's honestly the only real fitness knowledge I have :/ ]
GOAL: - Be comfortable w/ my body/shape by the end of the year. Afterwards, maintain. (~130lbs, size 7-9 jeans, somewhat toned)
WHY?: - Be healthy - Look better - Feel better - Create healthy habits
HOW? Daily activities to achieve my goal:
I hope this helps... Like I mentioned I'm not an expert in any way, but this is just what I've found works for me in my recent outreach for better living.
Really the best advice I can give you is trial and error... I spent a lot of time figuring out what I like/don't like when it comes to fitness. No program is perfect, so you're doing the right thing just trying to make better decisions! It really is true that one good choice leads to another... Also, don't be unhappy about your weight. See it as a roadblock that you MUST conquer. Your happiness is much more important than your size, so make these good decisions for you, and only you.
These are my motivational 'sticky notes' on my desk top. Seeing reminders all over the place keeps me in check :P:
someday everything will make perfect sense. so for now, laugh at the confusion, smile through the tears, & keep reminding yourself that everything happens for a reason.
Don't let the day make you, you make the day. Go for whatever you want because its not going to come to you
[edit]
here are some helpful websites I've found recently:
Here's PETA's list.
edit: I just realized that they list EVERY non-vegan ingredient. I know Skinny Bitch has a list in the back of all food-related non-vegan ingredients to watch out for.
There are two books that helped my relationship with food. I think you might get more out of this one, but this one is cool too. You've just got to find a balance.
You need to start thinking like a skinny bitch.
This just reminded me of a diet book, Skinny Bitch: http://www.amazon.com/Skinny-Bitch-Rory-Freedman/dp/0762424931
We actually read through it in a sociology class and discussed the context. It was fairly interesting because it's written by two women who used to be overweight and the entire book is pretty much bullying fat girls into feeling so bad about themselves that they stop eating pretty much everything and become vegan. Guess it works for some. :/
Skinny Bitch. As you can probably tell by the name, it's written in very "casual" language but from what I remember does a good job backing up points with studies/experts/first-hand accounts. Vegan 9 years now and this is one if the first books I read to help solidify my choice: https://www.amazon.com/Skinny-Bitch-No-Nonsense-Tough-Love-Fabulous/dp/0762424931.
I believe this is an instance where correlation does not imply causation. It is more likely that the reason American children are reaching sexual maturity at younger ages are because of the massive amount of growth hormones and the like that are injected into cows, chickens, etc.
milk
food additives mimicking estrogen
There are lots more articles. OR you could read the book Skinny Bitch which pretty clearly explains how a lot of chemicals that are not naturally occurring in foods affect the body.
