Goal 1 has been accomplished.
I am CPR certified. There is nothing holding me back from becoming a personal trainer.... except for myself.
So what's my problem. Excuses. I make excuses for myself. It can be something like
"My, its been a good few days so far...the office is providing lunch from Baja Fresh. I'll eat the salad, and just half a wrap. I'll save my healthy lunch for dinner. Oh, they have tortilla chips. Okay well then just a few." 3 hours later, healthy dinner has been eaten, as well as a 250 calorie whole wheat bagel ("well, thats healthy... it's high in calories and full of carbs.. but its better than candy") but then I see some candy that my roommate left lying around, and its all out the window. Before I know it, I'm 600 calories over my goal and I'm depressed about myself so I keep eating the candy.
So I think what I need to do is list out my excuses. And then decide on a reason these excuses wont work (that may be another post).
So. My Excuses. Please list yours as well below in the comments.. I'm sure if you have some different excuses, I probably just missed it)
1. "It's free. How could you pass up free food"
2. "The weekend is the time I should be allowed to cheat"
3. "My boyfriend can eat it and says thin, I want to keep up"
4. "I've been good the last few [Days/Meals/Hours], I deserve a treat"
5. "Something great happened, a cookie or cake would be a great way to celebrate"
6. "I don't have TIME to cook a healthy dinner. I'm just going to stop by Moe's... thats healthier than fast food"
7. "I don't have TIME to cook a healthy dinner... I'm just not going to eat."
8. "Starving is easier... and I'll get results. I should just starve"
