Do you dread jumping on the scales on a monday morning?
Its like you just know you have gained weight but you can't help yourself.
You feel really frsutrated that you ruined all your progress last week? You just want to lose a few kilos and fit back into your favourite pants.
What you really need is a plan that makes the weekends easier and gives you back that feeling of control?
SOOOOOO. First lets drop the idea of "Perfect" eating. Its great to have prepped all your meals, stick to your plan without wavering at all during the week when its structured and routine.
But this usually means you have these little voices throughout the week that are easier to ignore that come out screaming on the weekend? And now you don't have your routine to lean against.
So its better to allow some things to come in through the week, things that you account for, like a bowl of chips with your lunch instead of a salad or a couple of biscuits with your tea.
The more you learn to account for your choices rather than following strict rules through the week makes it much easier to just do the same o the weekend.
Which bring up the next point, stop creating so many rules for yourself. You don't have to fast, cut out carbs, fats, cheese or anything else. In fact for your plan to be sustainable you need to know you can follow it long term, just with stricter periods if you want to drop a few kilos.
Also, don't tell yourself you're having a "Cheat" day. This implies you're being naughty and shouldn't be doing it and its easy just to say "f**k it, I'll just start again...." whenever.
It's better to plan your weekend if possible and account for the foods you want to enjoy. Sure it might not be anything like your Meat and Vegetable, weekly prepped meals. But your aware of this and accountable.
Finally, One bad meal isn't the end of the world. You don't have to write off a whole day because you enjoyed a meal that wasn't planned. Just continue on with what you would normally do. You don't have to turn it into a buffet.
If you're sick of beating yourself up about your diet Comment "monday" and I will DM you to help work out a plan.
