1. Clothes dilemma - I was shocked when I couldn't fit in most of my clothes any longer. Then I realized that I gained pounds! What's worse is that I can't hide it even on my pictures, and I have to wear very loose clothes. And definitely, I do not like my family's recent comments and jokes about my waistline.
2. A stress buster - A drastic lifestyle change can surely take a toll on your health. I always found myself sleepless and could not enjoy the things I used to do like watching my favorite TV shows or movies.
3. A social boost - Having several online friends or connections are good but "real" social interaction are better. Why not combine them? Meet new people or catch up with friends, family, relatives or acquaintances by inviting them for a walk. Last week, I had a great time walking with a former coworker at my local park. Who would not want to have a chat while enjoying a nice view? Having a walk buddy is also a good way to network. Share that passion while helping each other mutually!
