Keep going!
People always ask me how I stay so dedicated. The truth is I actually am kinda addicted to the feeling after a workout. When it comes to exercise it doesn't take me long to talk myself up to the task.
My real struggle is food.
I love food. All types. The great, the good, the bad and the ugly.
How have I been able to keep gradually losing and maintaining over 200lbs of weight loss? By mostly making the right choices. I do go to the movies and eat fatty popcorn sometimes, I had two milkshakes over this summer and in one week in Mexico this summer I lost count of frosty bevies. I am human. I have had binge eating moments. It happens approximately once every three months, sometimes I go much longer. I used to eat like that two or three times weekly before learning better behaviour. I try to plan ahead to have a treat to stay in control.
Why am I sharing this with you? Because I know how it feels to feel out of control and I know how it feels to be in control {almost always} and I want that for everyone. You don't have to be in this downward spiral forever, you can climb out.
Eating healthy isn't a bad thing. Its not only good for your body but your mind and soul also. I am a better human being when I eat the way that makes me feel healthy and strong. Don't start a new "diet" just eat a diet of whole healthy foods. Lean meats, veggies and fruit. Some whole grains and starches. Once a week have a treat. Think about your risk of virtually every disease being lowered. A longer life. A fit life. One where you aren't hiding yourself and waiting for Monday to start a new plan.
I hear people say every single day that they want to change but you have to want it bad enough to choose the apple more than the chocolate. You have to want it more than anything else. You have to exercise when you want to skip. Go after your health! Stop waiting for a wrap or shake to let you down again. You have all the tools you need deep inside of you. If you are already on your path to health, don't stop! You can do this. There will be hiccups but nothing you cant overcome. Don't let the excuses win. #noexcuses
YOU CAN DO IT!
XO,
Di
