Im not sure about anyone else but I really struggle with food! I can & will train as hard as the next person but unfortunatly you cant out train a bad diet :( As a 19 y/o having a drink at our local pub I remembered wearing a denim mini skirt & a female aquaintance pointing and saying man youve got tree stumps for legs. Today I would take that as a compliment! Back then I was so embarrised & this was the start of my yo yo dieting. I was actually never overweight, at times I carried an extra 5kg or after trips back to Nz maybe 10kg lol, but until I became pregnant my weight problems were in my head. I did Jenny Craig- great untill I went off it. I tried weight watchers, going with a friend. We still crack up because she has never seen anyone put on weight in their first week, yup that was me. One of my coaches many sayings is eat crap train crap. So true. For me its processed food, bread, pasta, dessert any of this the nite before a training sesson I can feel it & she can always see it in the way I lift. So now when I indulge I make sure its not when Im training, usually on a rest day. I eat more protein now which keeps me full for longer & eat more often. To stop me bingeing I have a cheat day once a week, this supresses the Im missing out ,everything in moderation. I still have some really low days which is when I still binge. These are shit for everyone, I feel like crap, angry & guilty for all the crap Ive just eaten & really irritable with hubby because he cares enough to mention it lol its a horrible cycle. I will probably always stuggle with emotional eating this is a habit Im trying to break but it is hard! Ive learnt to cut myself some slack when it happens & writting in my journal has helped heaps. Keeping active & setting goals definetly keeps me motivated. Anyone else that struggles from time to time I hope this works for you too -The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be. For me & my tree stump legs the sky is the limit xo
