HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
For those of you who are using a Cheat Day today – ENJOY! For those who are not – NO CANDY! Make a bag of all the ones you love and save them for your next cheat day!
Life is all about making choices, and when it comes to weight loss it’s even more important to think things through before we do. While it’s very easy to grab, eat and regret – it’s so much better to get through the day knowing that you are doing the right thing for yourself and your body.
Listen, we spoke about it many times in the past – weight loss is really hard. It’s hard because there are temptations everywhere and that will never change. It’s hard because in order for you to lose weight you need to take in less than your body needs. Make sure you understand that concept – you need to be in a state of restriction to lose weight. You need to take in less than what your body is currently living on to lose weight. So of course it’s hard! Who wants to live with less?? That’s why making the right choices will make such a big difference in your weight loss. Because the better your choices, the more satisfied you will feel. Maybe not full – but mentally satisfied.
Each week you work so hard to get to where you want to be. It’s hard and challenging but what choice do you have. This is life! Some days will be easier and some days harder, but the most important thing is for you to understand that you need to stay on track and on program to lose the weight. Here are some things I want you to think of this week:
1. When you are on program and it’s challenging at least you are losing weight. Yes the temptation is there but you are losing and you feel good.
2. What is the alternative? You are off program – eating out of control and the whole time you keep thinking “I have to get back on program” meanwhile you are gaining the entire time you are contemplating going back on.
3. Let me ask you this – Why even put yourself through that? Why even put the people you love through that? If you think about it – it’s just so much easier to stay on program, it’s so much easier to do the right things and lose the weight. Because when you are not on all you want to do is be on.
4. The food always taste so much better on Cheat Day when you are 110% all week. It’s a fact, if you want to enjoy all the foods you love then don’t eat them everyday! They are not special when you eat them every day. When it’s your Cheat Day and you have the foods you love and had to wait for you will enjoy them more.
5. You are just so much happier when you are in control and doing the right thing! Think about it. Even though it’s hard. Even though it’s challenging. Even though you have to talk yourself into making the right choices every day 6 days a week – it makes you so much happier when you do it.
Making the right choices is never easy. We speak to our children about it all the time. We tell them – Do the right thing. Make the right choices. Remember what you do and the choices you make everyday affects everyone in your family and all the people that love you. When it comes to weight loss and health we are no different. We need to remember and live by that same advice.
