Are You Self-Sabotaging Your Fat Loss?
We have all been there at some point in our lives, when just one small slip turns into another and another until we just don’t know how to stop!
We miss a meal or two and then are starving and eat anything and everything in sight! We don’t eat enough at each meal, so then we overeat at the end of the day to make up for it. We don’t properly prepare our meals for the day ahead and then eat whatever we can find, usually something quick and easy or processed.
So why do we do this? Myself, I do it when I skip meals or am stressed. I have been working so hard on my Fat Blasting Boot Camp workouts and trying to get my boot camps up and running; I have been skipping meals only to turn to quick, easy meals or snacks, resulting in weight gain and body fat gain. Not exactly what I want.
So how do we get ourselves out of this rut? By PLANNING! Planning is the key! In the past, when I have sat down for 20 minutes the night before and planned out my meals for the next day, not only do I know what and when I will be eating my meals, but I also know what calorie range I am in and if I need to adjust it a bit.
Easy enough, right? It can be once you make it a habit. Make the decision that YOU and YOUR HEALTH will come first! That pile of laundry that needs to be folded can wait until tomorrow or that email you wanted to send out can wait. Find the time to plan ahead, make it a part of your day and you will no longer get in this self sabotaging rut!
