When you cheat at something, who are you really cheating? You get the answers to a test at school, are you cheating the teacher or yourself? You take a short cut in a race, are you cheating the other competitors or yourself? You eat something you know isn't good for you...who are you cheating?
The obvious answer is....YOU!!! Yet when your 'cheating' you feel like you are clever, oh so clever!
As the countdown for official 12 Week Body Transformation rolls on, I found myself wanting to 'cheat' over the weekend. I was planning on how to cheat, how to get my greedy chops on something deep fried and smothered in chocolate!!! The old me would have seen this as a big FAIL! Time to throw the towel in, I obvioulsy can't stick at it.
Happily, there is a new me in town!! The new me that stood back and thought about what was motivating me and the simplest answer I have is grief. I feel like I'm about to loose a very close friend. Food is my friend and has been there for me through thick and thin. The thought of not finding comfort in food is very scary. But whilst reflecting, it's good to think about what food has done for me. Yes, it provided comfort when I was happy, sad, mad and glad and in return I got 'THUNDER THIGHS' !! Wow, thanks Food, that's awesome!
So after having all these insights into my food loving soul, I can now add these to my fat fighting tool kit and be prepared for another day! Not saying that it will be easy, to flick the switch just like that, but hopefully, it will help me overcome my next thoughts of cheating.
Don't be a cheater!!!!
