My mind use to say " I can eat that I just ran for 30 mins".

That's probably how I put on 40lbs, even 6 months ago, I would "reward" myself with food. My mind would say, "Yeah you can eat that you just ran 3 miles" It was just about a month ago, that my co-worker and I went for a walk during our lunch hour. When we got back someone offered us banana nut bread, my co-worker said "sure, I just walked" and I said " Heck no, I just walked and don't wanna put those calories back on!!"

WHAT?!?! WHAT?!?! Did that just come out of my mouth!?!

If you find yourself struggling today, just wanted to movitvate you and say, you are not worth that banana nut bread! you can overcome those "cravings" soon you won't want them!!

I don't run so I can eat, I run so I can live!!

    I think almost the same way. When ever I am tempted, to eat something, I think to myself: True victory lies in every single decision you make. And it is true - It's really every single decision you make.

    I am getting out of that mind thinking. Its hard like you said to not eat since you just worked out. I am struggling today due to I was home with my son who was sick today and ALL I wanted to do is EAT!
