I am ready to FINALLY, consistently and wholeheartedly eat clean. Often times, I’ll be good for a few days and then fall right back into my old habits. I’m ready to feel confident and happy in myself and my body. The only way I can truly do that is by looking out for me. That is why starting today, I’m gonna follow the Tone It Upplan and jump start my new lifestyle of ALWAYS eating clean. The days I do I feel a million times better than any other day. It’s not worth feeling shitty especially when I can control it and fix it. I always find a reason why it’s ok to eat the cheese and crackers or chips and salsa. I justify it by saying “oh I’ll eat well tomorrow.” Well then tomorrow comes and the same cycle starts. Not anymore. Today I Change.
I have always found a reason to not ‘start’ a healthy eating lifestyle. I have a family BBQ coming up and I know I’ll be tempted and eat shitty. Or maybe I have friends coming to town and I know I’ll be going out to dinner and hitting the town. These events have hindered my ability to start or stick to anything because being social is a priority for me and if eating well means I can’t do these things, I hesitate to start. But I know there is a balance. I can drink wine but I shouldn’t eat a whole bag of popcorn too. If I eat clean most of the time the family BBQs and girl nights shouldn’t be a problem. My new lifestyle will involve will power and restraint when it comes to snacking and food.
I just have had enough. I’m 26 and it’s time to stop making excuses. I am the only one who can change anything and today is as good a day as any. I am throwing myself in head first. I will follow the TIU 7 Day slim down exactly this whole week and then I will make adjustments and plan to maintain. Working out has never been my problem. I exercise all the time. Clearly my diet and nutrition is the problem. I am so ready to feel light and comfortable. To be confident when I walk into a room. It’s time. I am sick of feeling sorry for myself. I am ready to change.
