when you feel like giving up you....do what?

CatherineElizabeth13

When I feel demotivated I instinctively gravitate towards the kitchen.
So now I get all the things I'm tempted to eat and I sit and read the packaging.
I read all the chemicals, preservatives and finally the nutritional information. Seeing how many nasties are in processed food is a real motivator, because I'm starting to respect my body more than ever and I just don't want to fuel it with food that will give me a sugar crash and mean my workout will suffer.
For me, hitting my protein goal and keeping my sodium low are important and make me go to bed feeling I've accomplished something.
So once I've read the packet, 9 times out of 10 I make an informed decision to put it back. Or if I know it will fit into my daily allowance I have a small amount as a treat. Because that's perfectly okay! We all need a bit of a treat.

I suppose you just have to find what works for you!

I, too, watch My 600 lb life, or Fat Doctor, or some similar show. That way I can see what would happen if I gave up and ate whatever and didn't work out.

Hi
Just think to myself "Failure is not an option"
Do I really want to go back to being winded climbing one flight of stairs.

Good Luck

I usually feel that way at night when I'm hungry so I just have to go to bed early!
