The first several months of my weight loss journey were SUPER hard!!! So many hard choices to make going against my human nature of wanting to eat whatever I want whenever I want! Very little physical changes. Very few people notice any changes. Headaches from giving up or cutting back on caffinated drinks. Walking this road is HARD. Plain and simple. But I have good news for you!!! IT GETS EASIER!! Not easy, but easier!!!
Firstly, the more weight you lose the more you get to experience new and wonderful things such as shopping for clothes in a smaller size, compliments from family and friends, feeling more comfortable in clothes, enjoying exercise, etc. You will eventually experience all of these wonderful things. When you do, it is these very things that motivate you to press on down this path of lighter living.
Today, I needed to eat something on my way home from work before my training session. I stopped at the gas station which is a very dangerous place for me to stop. In my previous life, I used to stop by the gas station every single night on the way home from work and binge on Mountain Dew, ice cream bars, Jays BBQ potato chips, and candy bars. So you would think for me to step back in a gas station would be risky business. But guess what, I was not one bit tempted to binge out like I used to. I got a water and a travel pack of peanuts. That's it. I left that gas station with the biggest smile on my face.
It's getting easier!!!
Press on down this path. The payoffs are REMARKABLE and while it may always be a challenge to make the right food choices, it WILL get easier!!!!
