Hey,
So being a fit pro I hear the following all the time...'I fell off the wagon again' or 'I have had a bad week'
So why is it when we crash, we crash hard!??
Maybe it's willpower, maybe it's attachment to food or maybe it's the fact it's thrown in our face 24/7
Think about it for a minute, if you was to 'diet' you have to go against the grain of society, you have to be the awkward one in the restaurant, you have to be the one who orders a water at the bar, your the one who can't go and socialise because the menu doesn't sit well with your 'diet'. Does the world want you to have muffin top forever?
I recently had a scenerio at the hospital of all places, they promote health right? I needed food on the go now on my 14 day detox there was a variety of foods I had taken out of my diet due to the effects it has on my body when burning fat. EVERY single one of these 'no-go' foods was close to hand when I needed something to eat. I was surrounded by poorly made sandwiches, chocolate, crisps, energy drinks, sausage rolls but they had a fat free yogurt full of aspartame so that evens it out. (wish I was on one of these slimmng club plans, I could have used saved points or sins to aid my 'weight loss' ;))
So I head into the local town what am I offered? Mcdonalds, KFC, Subway? Again excellent nutritional options! pfft... I ended up going to Asda and getting some chicken from the meat counter. God help me if I was a veggie- Hi can i have a roll of lettuce please!!
Now most women would have give up on thier diet at the convience shop in the Hospital, 'whats a little something going to harm'? Well a lot in reality...Sugar is like a drug, you ever tried giving up sugar or coffee? Headaches,shakes,moodiness began to happen within 3/4 days. So to have that effect on the body if it's withdrawn do you think it's a good thing to have?
The body has a system called the hedonic system this system craves sugar. You feed it sugar, it responds by making you feel good using dopamine, so you like the feeling you eat more sugar, the body responds by giving you a bigger feel good feeling, You 'treat' yourself to more sugar at this point your dopamine receptors become less responsive to the sugar intake, it asks for more to give you that dopamine feeling you crave <---- you end up in a vicious cycle and guess what you've not only fell off the wagon your so far behind the wagon the wagon is a dot to you, so what do you say - "Fuck it, I'm destined to be fat anyway" and carrying doing what your doing, maybe a fad diet here, maybe join a slimming club when they have free join up offer there, but never achieving what you really want, what you desire - A hot sexy body to show off to the world and why...because convience shops are just a fucking inconvience!!!
So next time you feel like falling off remember this isn't you who wants it, it's your body telling your mind to feed it's own addiction. Food is merely fuel for you body, just like petrol in a car. You don't fill your car up because it likes the taste of petrol you fill it up to get you from A to B. Food has exactly the same effect.
Did you know big companies employ people just to take advantage of your hedonic system downfall?
Something to think about right?
