Reloaded Day 2. Meal 1. I have several messages regarding folks feeling they need to tap because they haven't gotten their 10,000 steps or because they didn't eat when I ate.
Reality check. Its day 2. You relapsed because you looked for ways to quit. You are going to relapse again because you are looking for ways to quit. It's day 2. If you want to lose weight and keep it off permanently you have to work on your mindset and be willing to change your mindset. Your excuses are only making sense to you. I love you and want to see you change your mindset and I want you to stop self sabotaging.
1) We said the steps were not mandatory and do what you can do on the honor system. Fat loss is 80% nutrition. I can't talk you into staying every day. If you require that then Ill have to talk you into this every day for the rest of your life. Exercise. Do what you can do. Do your best.
2) You do not have to do two meals per day like I do. (Intermittent Fasting). Some days I will have three meals. You don't have to tap as long as you have three meals and eat from the meal plan. As long as you are doing your best you shouldn't tap out. For this group, tapping out, should only be considered the moment you decide that you want to be over weight the rest of your life because the effort required to lose weight just isn't worth it. If this becomes you, by all means, TAP OUT. Otherwise, if your line is drawn in the sand and you won't settle for being over weight then you should get back to the RULES as quickly as possible.
Today, my truck broke down, so Im a little off schedule. Life gets in the way but grabbing fast food, etc isn't worth it. Life getting in the way isn't an excuse for eating foods and portions that aren't moving towards my goals. I want you to have this mindset. Even if life gets in the way and I can't get to my planned meal, I'll just embrace the growl until its time to eat. Its not going to break my spirit or destroy my metabolism to miss a few meals. Embrace the growl. The truck will get fixed, the website will get fixed, time will pass and I'll still be sticking to my plan. I control what I put in my mouth before crisis, during crisis, and after crisis. Im more than a conqueror and you are too.
I got back to the house, nuked a piece of tuna steak and threw some hemp flakes on top for a great fat burning meal. Exercise on a plate! I love this lifestyle. Busy as a bee, cheerful as a cricket and steady as a clock.
Bless the name of the Lord! Lets get fired up, tell satan to get behind us and reach our goal!
