PUNISHING YOURSELF FOR OVERINDULGING??
IT'S TIME TO TAKE A NEW APPROACH!!
Chances are, if you do one of these two things, you are punishing yourself without even knowing it in order to "stay" or "get back on track"
1. Drastically reducing your calories the next day to try and account for what you over consumed. 🥗
2. Trying to out cardio your choices.🏃♀️
❌Both are as equally damaging as each other and here is why.
Drastic reductions in calories will result in feelings of hunger, and then become a cycle of overeating, hunger, overeating, hunger, and then your body, metabolism and hormones, will have no clue what's going on (and you end up feeling like you constantly need to "fix" yourself)
When it comes to out training your choices, this can lead to cycles of over training, injuries, and again feelings of failure and not good enough
It doesn't have to be this way, you are one of a majority of people who will overindulge, not just at Christmas but at any given time of the year, and this is a great opportunity to change your relationship with food.
The trick to not letting food guilt get one up on you is to know that overindulging CAN be just a one off, it's not a failure.
Here's how to combat the guilt and have a better relationship with your body, mind and food.
1. Keep moving your body the way that you did before and according to your training plan, there is no need to add in extra cardio or more sessions.
2. Make your next meal a balances one, choose protein, a variety of vegetables and complex carbohydrates.
3. Remind yourself that the bloating you may feel is the result of todays food, currently digesting in your belly. it's not permanent so long as you make great choices around it.
4. Don't weight yourself daily As a woman your body will fluctuate, they may have nothing at all to do with the food you have consumed, and will only leave you losing your confidence and probably your motivation too.
These are some of the tried and tested methods .fearless.females are using to build their body confidence and break free of food fear.
