I GAINED FIVE POUNDS IN A WEEK!!! I am up Eleven Pounds in the past 3 months! For the past 5 months I thought I could figure out the food on my own. I actually believed I needed to figure it out on my own. I convinced myself solving the food mystery all by my little self was the key to long term success.
When my car needs the oil changed I take it to the garage. Why? Because they know all about the engine and I just know how to push the button to start it. When my hair gets crazy I go visit my girl. Why? Because she can cut it without making me look like a rebellious preschooler. So why in the world would I believe I can figure out the food without guidance? I wouldn’t create theories about changing my oil and then try them to see what works. After all I don’t like to get dirty and a car would be expensive to replace. And I wouldn’t watch a YouTube video about cutting my own hair so I see if I could save a couple of dollars. I mean I’m barely coordinated enough to blow it dry by myself let alone use a sharp object around my face and head!
So this morning I owned up to the fact that I obviously don’t know what the hell I’m doing when it comes to eating healthy. Newsflash self ……you’re not a dietician. I hired a trainer earlier this year when I admitted I didn’t know what the hell to do at the gym. Now I’m strong and do crazy shit every week I never would have dreamed to try thanks to the trainer. Now I’ll lean on the food plan so I can feel awesome and take control of this piece of the puzzle.
Day One is in the books and successful and I feel good. On to Day Two. Wish me luck.
