Just got back into the gym after a 2 week spell of skipping for no real reason. Sipping my protein shake and realizing how good it feels, physically, mentally, and emotionally, to take concrete steps towards changing my body and lifestyle. However, this is a cycle: workout for a few days, feel great, "deserve a cheat / rest day", spiral out and binge eat / skip workouts for a few days, rinse and repeat. Something about the human brain hates change. The brain hates calorie counting, restriction, being told "No!". Sometimes its helpful to remind ourselves that working out and eating right isn't punishment for being fat. Working out and eating right is just self-care. Its the same as getting a good night's rest or taking a shower. No real purpose to this post other than to get some thoughts and emotions on paper (or keyboard). Feeling hopeful right now. :)
