I've been struggling a little to get back on track, after my diet vacation.
Why is this so hard sometimes?
I mean, it's not rocket science.
Do I want a body like this:
Or do I want a hamburger?
Do I want to finally feel comfortable in a bathing suit:
Or would I rather have a pizza instead?
Do I want to have a jaw line like Jen Anniston's:
Or does a brownie sound better?
Do I want to go on a date with my husband to the cheesecake factory,
Or actually look sexy for him?:
Do I want to be able to wear skinny jeans:
Or have Chinese takeout?
Do I want Oreo's more then I want a butt like this?:
Heck no!
It's not all that hard, when I look at it that way.
I want to be a sexy, fashionable girl, that has a jaw line, and a firm bootay, on the beach.
And I want it WAY more then I want all that unhealthy goodness.
Nobody said it was easy, but man
it's going to be worth it!
What would you take over a cheeseburger?

That depends... some days I'd trade a right arm (not necessarily my own) for a beef & cheese sandwich. But I have found that, although I may be slower than all tese super-disciplined people everywhere, if I give in to temptation every now and again, I do not feel the need to binge, nor do I have to struggle that much. And so far I have lost 15kg (a bit more than 30lbs) over the course of one year. ^^
I love the comparisons you gave and the great reminder to yourself (and me!) about what we really want. It boils down to not going for the instant gratification (that great-tasting food), but long term goals and success.
When I feel tempted to jump off the bandwagon, I remind myself that feeling healthy is more important than a piece of chocolate/pizza/pasta. It keeps me going through times when all I want is a "treat".
Well...when you put it THAT way :-) I'm pregnant right now for the first time...honestly, I haven't had cravings but I do get the occassional "something" not so good for me to get me through the day and I have never been that type of person. I blame it on nausea...sometimes, I don't want healthy, sometimes, I don't want unhealthy and almost all the time, I want NOTHING! And it makes me feel even more nauseous!
But what I have noticed is I don't feel great after a day of eating horrible! So...my choice...the sexy body! ;-)
Awwww.... Brittany, don't be so hard on yourself. Look at you girl! You lost 40 lbs already!!! You can do it!!!
Hang in there, Brittany. Those cravings can be mighty powerful. Stick to it, take it one day at a time, and it will get easier. And don't beat yourself up if you slip - we ALL do. Just start over with the next bite!
I've been struggling a lot with snacking at night, I've always been a night time snacker and I wish I could say I eat fruit but when the kids go to bed all I want is chips or candy
: ( it's such a vicious cycle. I make healthy decisions throughout the day so I can treat myself at night....also I'm registering for a 5k for next month! I'm hoping this will stop the snacking!! btw I'm not a runner, i'm trying my hardest though!! I'm getting to the point where i'm tired of saying "I'll do it one day when I'm fitter..." I'm doing it now!! keep it up girl and don't feel guilty for treating yourself, just keep moving : )
I really liked this post. Sometimes I would rather feel comfortable in a bathing suit and other times I just want a burger and fries lol.
xo
I love all of these comparisons! So true :)
Loving the butt picture. Does that sound odd? Thanks for providing me with inspiration.
I woke up this morning thinking I needed to hone down on my diet. Like you, I've been doing so-so. A couple of good days, a bad snack. The cycle needs to stop if I ever want to get the abs I want.
I planned to start getting back on track today, so you can think of yourself as not being alone on this. :)
