in Goal: Maintaining Weight
And then right when you say you're going to stop eating it or maintain what to eat somebody comes around and says here try this or this free sample that every store you walk into and it's always the good stuff

    I was like that too, but soon as you get your mindset right in eating healthy and working out, all that will go away...it's going to take a lot of willpower but can do it...healthy foods are delicious too

    That's examples of an obesogenic and toxic food environment.

    Food should taste good, it's food's way of telling us "here be nutrients". Real food does that.

    Engineered food tastes "too good" to entice us to eat and buy more. More than we need. More than we can manage.

    It's your choice to eat or not eat, and decide what to eat and not to eat.

    I found that part of losing weight was learning to tell others "no." There's no rule saying that you have to take food just because it's been offered to you. If they get mad at you, then it is they who are breaching ettiquette, not you.

    When you learn what good food is you will realise that the stuff in the store they are giving you is actually not very delicious at all. Usually its high in salt and but made with lower quality ingredients and fillers.

    If you want to know what good quality food tastes like, go eat in a decent restaurant or try to cook some of it yourself at home.

    If you are used to eating lots of junk foods or foods or lower end restaurants, which are hyper flavoured iwth salt, fat and sugar, then your tastes buds may need retraining. The quickest way to do this, I believe is to eliminate junk food and eat well made meals at home. Try some recipes.

    I saw this happen with a guy on a show once who was more or less forced to do it. I am not exactly sure which program it was but it was one of Dr Mosley's videos. YOu can find them on youtube.

    The struggle IS real for me too, but some days are amazing and others I need help! I take it one meal at a time some days and the other days I am fine. Keep blogging about it when you need help and encouraging others when you are strong :) You can do this!
