‘Diet’ Logic:
A ‘diet’ has an associated end attached to it. A light at the end of the tunnel. The finish of your misery. Relief to FINALLY be able to start eating junk food again.
The entire time you are on your ‘diet’ those foods you are denying yourself are in the back of your mind. You assure yourself that once you lose 20 – 30 – 40 pounds you can finally eat that desired food. “It will be a reward food for all my hard work!” Humans thrive on reward systems. Work so many hours a week and you are rewarded with pay. Work on preparing an awesome home made dinner and you are rewarded with awesome food. You ‘diet’ for a month, lose 10 pounds, and reward yourself with a bucket of ice cream. But since you worked so hard why not go buy another bucket of ice cream for the next night. You keep telling yourself it is a reward for all your hard work but in the back of your mind there is that guilt. That same guilt that grows along with your waist. Suddenly you now weigh more then you did before you started ‘dieting.’
So what should you do instead?
You must make a choice to start a new life style.

You choose to start paying attention to the ingredients of the food you buy. You choose a work out plan that is right for you. You choose your group of workout partners. Then you stick with it.

The brain usually releases them after a long distance run. Not only will you feel accomplished from finishing your run but you will be in a GREAT mood. Like you can take on anything. This is commonly referred to as the ‘runners high.’ It will take some time and training before it really affects you.

As exercise starts to become a normal part of your life you will begin to feel a pull. Your body will tell you that exercise is something you must do. When you miss a workout or a run an anxious feeling shows up. This is the same feeling you got when you were on that ‘diet’ of yours. Only this time the craving for junk food is replaced by a need to exercise. To get out. To move your body. To push yourself to do more.
Screw your excuses.
