I also look at other, more immediate benefits, of eating healthier. I get frequent heartburn. I'm talking full on heartburn, daily, if I'm eating badly. It actually disrupts my sleep and gives me night terrors. My heartburn goes away almost immediately when I am eating healthier and in smaller amounts.
Exercise gives me a physical outlet. I become very tense with stress and I don't realize it until I'm stretching out, either doing yoga or hula hooping. After a workout I usually feel much more relaxed.
When I eat better and exercise I sleep better and have more energy and more focus and this just seem brighter, with or without the immediate weight loss.
