“List of reasons why I'm going to loose this diet bet”

Posted on January 27, 2015

I always start all fired up, but then I barely finish anything.
I have a complex for perfection, so it's perfect or nothing.
So because I'm a perfectionist I think not exercicing everyday while doing this diet is bad.
I don't count that I've exerciced 4 times since the diet started, I just see the days I haven't.
I tend to focus on my negative points (as seen above).
Even though I've been doing great so far without a single “fail”, I just think I eventually will.
I'm afraid of finishing this diet and gainning all the weight again. But I'm also afraid of having to diet all my life.
I still confuse dieting with eating healthy.
I miss popcorn so much!
These days I am a little bit stressed over some things at work and I'm afraid this might obstruct my diet plan.

Ok, so I've written everything I could imagine that could make me loose this bet. Now that I know, I just need to think about it, reorganize it and keep it in mind.

checkout what Michelle Berger has to say about Hormonal induced Failure, you might just be fighting against your hormones , as you know they fluctuate on a monthly basis. I LOVE the concept (well it is just truth and LIFE explained for weigth-loss and much more!): www.buffmother.comit may change everything.

I would start every day with Zuzka's killer 5 minute workout. That way you can never fail because it is done, boosts your metabolism and inspires you to eat well all day. If you do more- great, but you already have done a great workout.Make a bag of Skinny Girl Popcorn (or something similar) your treat for eating well the rest of the day. But you only get it if you.... then pick a goal like eating five servings of veggies. I'm the same way (not perfectionist- more critical but same result) I have to get the crazy working for me! Good luck!!!

You can still eat popcorn. Popcorn is awesome! I eat mine plain, sometimes with a little salt if I'm craving. If you don't like missing workouts, don't miss any. Do something small some days and have heavier days other days. If you don't want to gain weight again keep moving forward. The more muscle you gain the more calories you burn or you can join another game! If you focus nothing obstructs you plans. The only thing stopping you, is you. Ditch the negativity, get yourself moving and if you don't meet your goals, start again tomorrow. Every day is new day. You can handle this.

When one of these 'negatives' or 'fails' happens, try to take a moment to think objectively about what happened and why it might have happened- what emotions were you feeling, what situation had recently occurred? Then try (I appreciate it can be difficult) to carry on as if nothing happened. Don't frustrate yourself further by trying to catch up and repair your mistake because you're essentially punishing yourself. You will soon see a theme in your reflections, and from there you can think about how to conquer your obstacles.I hope this helps.

And you could also give the reasons why you're going to WIN the diet bet :)But good thing you know your obstacles!
