I used to feel like a need a workout schedule to live and die by, or a diet with strict rigid rules to keep me in line. You know what else I had? Absolutely ZERO trust in myself. I actually would go make myself workout on days I was sick. I would not take cough syrup because it had honey it and my nutrition plan said sugar was the devil. I wouldnt allow myself to lick the spoon when making my daughters birthday cake. I spent all my energy policing myself so I would not be BAD. I decided to give up any notion that eating something would make me BAD....would it really turn me into a BAD person? Or ruin my health because I had honey in my cough syrup?? NOOOO!!! But I trusted workout plans and diet advice from people who had never meet me more than I trusted myself. These days I exercise because I want to...my body calls for it and craves it. BUT I also listen to my body when it says no, you have a headache or no, youre tired. I eat lots of fruits and veggies because my body craves it. But I also give into the chocolate cravings sometimes too!! I trust that just because I eat ice cream at the beach one time, doesnt mean I am going to start a week long binge. It took me a long time to get here and I am still a work in progress, but I am happy with my results: healthy, happy and trusting myself. What about you? Do you trust yourself? Do you need someone else to tell you what to do?
