Hope you are all having a wonderful day so far!
Yesterday was fun, but not.
Fun because I got to see my family, but not fun because of all the food I ate.
I feel heavier this morning, which definitely does not make me happy.
Every time I let loose and eat whatever I want within reason, it reminds me of why I changed my diet to only healthy foods in the first place.
When I eat a whole bunch of unhealthy food, I feel sluggish and tired and just plain sick, and I am craving food again within two to three hours after I have eaten.
When I eat healthy foods, I feel light, satisfied, and just really good.
Huge difference.
I like eating healthy food a lot better, because not only do I feel better about it, I feel better because of it.
And let us not forget the water!
That is a huge part of it, too.
It is the key, really.
When you are well hydrated, your body looks and feels so much better, and you have so much more energy.
That is why I stay away from the juices, sodas, and vitamin waters.
It is just like I told my boyfriend: I do not drink my calories, I eat them.
I feel like any calories I drink are empty ones, and I am not going to waste my calorie budget if I am not getting any benefit from it.
Anyway, I think I am going to go get ready for the day, eat some yogurt, and enjoy the beautiful sunshine. :)
Have a great day, lovelies; hang in there and stay strong! <3

Pretty picture and I've pretty much cut out all liquids with calories. I allow myself 1 diet pop a day but I only drink it like half of the time. It makes me feel full before I'm even done drinking it so that's why I still drink it. If I get bloated I'm ok with it as long as it stops me from binging/eating when I shouldn't. I drink a little milk but not too much. And I drink a lot of tea. I need some sort of flavor. Water tastes weird. And I feel the same way if I eat a lot of unhealthy foods. I try to eat as healthy as possible.
ReplyDeleteYou couldn't have said it better with the healthy vs unhealthy food. I feel the same way about exercising. If I don't exercise, I feel gross and drained. But if I do exercise, ironically, I feel better and energized!
ReplyDeleteHave you ever tried Crystal Light? It's like 5 calories per serving and their lemonade is a-may-zing!
Stay strong!
I completely agree about healthy/non healthy food, it just makes you feel so lethargic, oh and water is amazing, makes you feel so full up x
ReplyDeleteStay strong and lovely xx
Hi from a new follower, wanna say another I totally agree about the healthy/unhealthy foods. If I break and eat, say soy ice cream which is packed full of sugar and fat, I feel bloated, sick and bleh in the morning, and I can't help but imagine the fat molecules all building up in my thighs. Gross.
ReplyDeleteHope the rest of your day goes well, and you keep to your plan.
