This weekend I went wild. Wild for carbs, wild for chocolate and now I feel rubbish. I’ve let myself down and I know why. After the whole hate myself blog I’ve been slipping. 4 weeks until to my wedding and I’m self sabotaging myself, why? It’s probably a mixture of things. Mainly the way I see myself, it gets me down so I turn to food. Whilst I’ve been so good recently on controlling my crazy binges,unfortunately I’m still human and make mistakes. I have to learn from this and move on, this week I’m going to be strict. Try and undo the damage that has been done. I’m sticking to precise macros.
78g carbs, 188 protein and 50g fat. 1600 cals. I was an absolute carb monster this weekend eating tortilla chips til I couldn’t actually stuff another handful in my gob.
Exercise wise I am doing my Jamie Eason weight routine and half n hour cardio straight after. I’m also doing ten rounds of interval running and also two spinning classes. My jeans have got tighter on my thighs from the muscle gain, yet to see it though!
Aime.
This is me below lol.

It is not the food we crave it is the happy moments we remember surrounding food we crave- A personal quote of mine and thought I wanted to pass along to you. Most of our happy moments as children are celebrated around food birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, holidays, sports games……
It might not be the food itself that you crave but the emotions surrounding those happy times. Try this the next time you are feeling a craving. Think back to a really happy moment. Visualize the colors, people, smells, tastes, sounds, remember the jokes and laughter, etc. Visualize it so hard your soul becomes filled with the happy moments. Then step out of the house and go for a walk. You COULD be using the food as a trigger to feel a certain way during a certain moment. Also a rule of thumb to lose weight: Do not allow foods you crave to be allowed within your home! If you do not have instant access to it then you have to put the effort into getting it. If you have to put effort into eating then you really have to take the time out to think about if its a good idea on the way to the store or as you get ready to leave your house. Most foods contain chemicals that make us crave them anyway. Keep that in mind as well and self blaming will not help. Promise yourself a fresh start! You can do this! You speak of what most people go through on a daily basis! Thanks for speaking out!

I have messed up too. Apparently Cliff bars contain as much sugar as a Snickers. The 5 mile hike was useless after eating two of them……..
