Motivational Quote - Nothing tastes as good as healthy feels.

SparkPeople's Comments

The next time you want to "cheat" on your diet with a fattening treat, imagine how good your body and mind will feel after you've turned it down. It might taste good for a few minutes, but knowing you made the right choice will feel so much better in the long run.

Visual pictures in my mind help me avoiding many unhealthy choices. I always mentally ask myself, will it be worth all the extra work to get it off later.

After just eating a whole bag of gingersnaps and 8 ounces of Brie in 2 days I am so down in the dumps. I actually went looking for some words that would get me back on track. I think I have found them here.

I love these words because I know them completely. When you feel great emotionally and physically the bad food will not turn you on. It feels better saying no to junk food and being whole and actualkly feeling your body.

There are so many days when I want to eat the fast food because it's convenient and I am in town anyway because I have to go to the chiropractor 2 days a week. However, my mind tells me that the fries and the big mac might taste good in the moment, but then when I get home, my stomach is going to feel blooded and I am going to feel nauseous because I just ate something I know isn't good for me. I think it's a little bit my stomach, but a lot more guilt! I don't want to give up on myself! I wait until I get home so I can have a healthy dinner instead. It's really mind over matter! I have been with this program for over 2 years, and I won't say I am always perfect or even that I don't indulge in my favorite things. It's about your calories for the day and if you have stayed in your range. It's also about how much you work out. I work out every day for at least an hour. I can afford to splurge sometimes. I try not to use food as a reward, but instead pamper myself with a nice soak in the tub or a new outfit. It's ok to have some chocolate, but just eat a little piece here and there and then you won't have to go around feeling guilty. If you do fall off the wagon, don't give up on yourself! You have the next day, Lord willing to get back up and keep going! We all mess up, but you can choose to play the victim, feeling sorry for yourself, or you can get back up and go on fighting like a winner!
