Through out my weight loss journey there have been times when I have been places with people and they are eating sweets- high calorie, full or carbs and sugar deliousness, they see me and they say "I'm sorry to eat this in front of you." "Why? Don't feel bad I don't." The truth, I could eat those thing and I have on occasion and it has been worth every single calorie I took in. Do I want that ice cream or piece of cake, yea- it would taste great- but I also know what it does to my body and what my body will have to do in order to burn that off. As time goes on it has gotten easier to say no to those sweets to just pass and enjoy a glass of water and something I know wont send the scale back up.
Its about choices and moderation. You have to allow yourself to cheat once in a while, otherwise you will become bitter and won't make any progress.
Tis the season to be jolly… fa la la la la la la la BLAH! Blah is exactly how I have been feeling lately… The holidays mean sweets and treats are everywhere. This week I was feeling great. I was making good food choices and proud of myself. Then I jar of peanut butter fudge is delivered to my door. When I am ready to eat clean and be good, I can't have anything like that around. So the fudge went away. Out of sight and out of mind and dropped off somewhere else far away from me. 2 years ago Christmas I started working with one of my closest friends and personal trainer. If I can make it through the holidays… I can make it anytime of year. Keeping in mind.. it is ok to cheat once in a while… as long as its not all the time.
