Losing weight is a challenge. It is hard. I have had former clients who have helped me better understand this. Most know that healthy, clean eating and exercise will lead to a healthier, ideal weight. However, there is this thing that makes it very challenging year after year. It never fails. You would begin a new diet plan. You start off strong. One month. Two months, and then it rears its ugly head again. That damn thing better known as delicious food.
Is it impossible to overcome? No. But it is an everyday challenge to select healthier options when you’re surrounded by high-calorie foods everywhere you go. Not only are such food convenient, oftentimes they are cheaper than healthier alternatives. They also appeal to the palates a little more as they are typically sweetened and/or seasoned. Why have baked chicken when you can have one that has been fried, well-seasoned, and dripping delicious juices. How about choosing between a bowl of boiled carrots or a slice of warm carrot cake with icing on top? Which sounds appetizing? You sometimes hear friends and/or fitness enthusiasts utter “healthy food is delicious!” or “healthy food taste much better than regular food”. Such statements might be interpreted as LIES. How does one overcome this and not pay the price with your weight? Stay tune for the next post for some of the tips that have helped me over the years.
Great article. I can really relate to this. It is a struggle trying to always eat right, when the healthier items cost way more than the unhealthy items. Excited to read the next post for some tips.
Thank you for the feedback. Is that your biggest barrier?
