Sugar free begins again!!!! Got a bit snack happy during the chrissy period and that’s okay. Life is about balance. But now it’s time to get serious again 😍 I’m not far off my goal of 25% body fat and who knows, maybe once I achieve that I will set another goal 😍 I’ve learnt not to move my goal posts though. When I get to 25% body fat it’s going to be a massive celebration for me!!! Lots of new review pretties, maybe even a tattoo!!! No sugar for me doesn’t mean cutting out fruit either. It means limiting the processed foods. Clean eating if you will. I don’t drastically cut calories or carbs because for me, that’s not sustainable for life. They way I eat now, is how I intend to eat for life. I will incorporate a slight calorie deficit to continue slowly working towards my goal but only slight. It’s taken me a long long time to repair my metabolism, like 2 years at least I would say and when we drastically reduce our calories, that’s not sustainable or healthy for our minds. Food is not the enemy and gosh to even write that means I’ve achieved MASSIVE psychological goals! I come from a background of eating disorders which if I think about started when I was probably around 10. If this is you too you must tread carefully. It takes your brain a long time to accept it’s okay to eat. Above all the most important thing about this journey is being kind to yourself. Don’t punish yourself if you had a “balance” food. Don’t even call it a naughty food or a bad food. Take back your control. Just say okay well I had it, it’s time to get straight back on that wagon. Not tomorrow. Not next Monday. Now. Take your control back straight away and reward yourself when you nourish your body with nutritious foods and exercise. You deserve it!!!! Now come and crush with me my beautiful friends.
