I've been eating nothing but garbage the past few weeks. Ugh. I know, and I'm trying not to beat myself up about it, but I know the cycle. I diet for a few weeks/months, then fall right back into my old habits. I cannot do this again!
This morning, I was trying to compare myself to a diesel truck. If you had a diesel you would fuel it with, well, diesel, not the cheap, unleaded stuff. Well, food is like that for our bodies. It's a fuel, and what you put in certainly matters. You want to eat food that will be energizing and sustaining. Not junk food.I understand the appeal - junk food feels good the moment you eat it. It's an instant gratification. While healthier foods, most people will eat because they want to be slim and skinny. But that does not happen immediately, so giving up seems easier.
Newsflash: Healthier food may not give you instant gratification, but it gives you a progressive gratification! It's a difficult road... but I have to get back on it.
