Thats why the addiction of 'screw it' comes in because our pants don't drop off, the scale doesn't move to a lower digit and we feel we sacrifice so much good to get some results that don't happen.
This reminds me of people who get out of jail try to make it in the regular stream and the world does not want to give them a job for a mistake.
The person says, 'screw it' how am I suppose to eat. Therefore they go back to then fast money of drugs.
Yes this is a fight . All I can say is God help me be stay on the right path and know it will bring good results.
SO much truth in everything you said. I too, have suffered with the "screw it" mentality for years. Even as recent as a few months ago.
I had many issues letting go of bitterness. Feeling bitter toward people who can eat whatever the **** they want and never gain an ounce, meanwhile I can smell something fattening and gain! lol
I just really had to understand that everybody's body is different, AND that the longer it takes to get it off, the longer it takes to put back on!
NO person should be losing 8 lbs every week. It simply is NOT healthy, nor is it typical.
My trainer is extatic with 5 lbs a month! I, of course, am usually devastated when that happens, and for all the reasons we listed previously.
It all goes back to the whole idea of "if youre not ready to change your mind, your body will never change". Its so true. ONce you free your mind, the body naturally begins to follow. This was the hardest part of all of this for me.
I can do the work outs, the sweating, the puking, the sore feet and muscles, but the mental...now THATS the hard work.
I simply didnt love myself enough to do it for the right reasons. Well, now, I am learning to do just that.
IN fact, I bought myself a shirt recently that says I love My Booty. lolol
I have decided to embrace what I will apparently always have! LOL
