So since June I’ve managed to lose 30 pounds through exercise and intermittent fasting. I’ve found that my tastebuds have changed, and I’m a lot more open to healthier foods. This is dramatically different from my past eating habits, avoiding vegetables entirely, not liking the taste of water, and eating a diet of mostly carbs and added sugar.
The problem is, I often find myself getting into much smaller periods (like 4-5 days or so) where my diet just goes to shit. I start over-indulging when I’m bored, drinking sodas, and being lazy again. In this time it’s extremely hard to pick myself up again, but I manage and continue on with my process. I find that during these binge episodes my confidence drastically goes down and I’m less inclined to take care of my overall self. Because I think this: “if I’m not eating healthy currently, why should I join that exercise class?”
I do snap out of this. Today was the first day back on track but I’m tired of these binge episodes. I’ve lost an insane amount of weight for me, but I feel like I still keep the fat kid mentality that sometimes comes out to play. I know that weight loss is a never ending journey, I just hate the all or nothing mentality.
For those of you who have struggled with bad eating habits and binging, how do you allow yourself to have a treat without completely blowing it? I want this to be me so bad, and I hate that I get over indulgent. I love cooking and nourishing my body, I just hate my interactions with bad foods. I don’t want them to become me, and I want to master my self discipline in their presence. Because I know I can never fully avoid treats for the rest of my life.
