Today I wanna talk about that everyone struggles with but for people with weight problems, especially those whose main problem is with food, have a hard time getting over and that's vices. Everyone knows what there vices are, those few unhealthy foods that you try to give up but end up eating them and at the end of it all you ask yourself, "How did I get here???? We all have them, for me my vices are pizza and ice cream, especially chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream and its part of the reason sometimes my progress becomes stagnant. I'm not proud of it but if I see sometimes ice cream is on sale, I will but it and it's not like I'm eating a scoop, I will put on Netflix and by the time a movie is over or a few episodes of Blue Bloods (God I love that show) a pinto or two would be gone or sometimes even the entire tub of Turkey Hill. You are probably thinking to yourself, "My God how could he eat all of that, and to be honest I ask myself that question. I used to be one of those people that would deny he had vices, but I realized i had a problem when I woke up one day and cleaned my room. I found a array of ice cream containers and pizza boxes and I knew I had a problem. Sometimes you need those wake up calls in order to see the issue. A lot of this problem is mental, especially after you lost some weight. We think to ourselves, "Oh I lost a little bit of weight, a little bit of (insert vice here won't hurt), not realizing that a little turns into a lot and then your at the point I was at, wondering how you got here. In no way am I saying completely eradicate said food item from your life, but the name of the game is moderation and self control. if you know when it comes to certain foods you have little to know control, slowly cut down the amount of it you are eating. It is unrealistic from you to from eating pizza once a day to eating pizza once a week. Some people may be able to do that, but for others you need to slowly cut down. By slowly cutting down, your still getting your fix, but you are also teaching yourself that you don't need this food as much as you thought, by the end of the year you may even realize that you don't need the food anymore. The most unhealthy thing you can do is trying to immediately cut things off from your life because you will find yourself constantly thinking of the food and sooner or later you will go back to eating it at the pace you ate it before. Discipline is big when it comes to things like these and a lot of us struggle with that. My best advice when it comes to discipline is you have mentally get into a space of knowing what you want for yourself. Like I had, you need one of those experiences that show you what you are doing wrong. A large portion of all of this is mental stability, that's why before I could get the band I had to see a psychiatrist because this journey is as much physical as mental and you may find yourself breaking down. I'm not to scared to admit that I have cried in the midst of this journey. The mental struggle is extremely real and plays a big part with overcoming your vices. Next I think I will write a segment about the mental game because of how pivotal it is to this journey, especially my personal journey and I think its important for anyone who comes across this. A few last words, don't be ashamed of your vices at all, most of who struggle with weight have them and it isn't something embarrassing. Food is a legitimate addiction and promotes the same feelings that other addictions do. We all just need to come to the point that we realize we have a problem and decide for ourselves that we want to change that problem and that's very big. You can't make this change for anyone but yourself because if you do, subconsciously you will end up back where you started and that's for anything in life. Take it all one step at a time, no need to make drastic changes right away, because that is never successful, look at biggest loser contestants, they lose all this weight and drastically change their diets and a couple years they have gained most if not all back. Cut the foods down slowly and steadily it is the most effective way to controlling this problem. Until next time,
Peace and Love!!!!!!!!!!!!
