The moral of the story is:
keep going
don’t look back
don’t allow anyone to derail you
don’t allow yourself to make up excuses to give you an out
to relieve temporary pain in order to give yourself short term pleasure
and as far as the excuse: I don’t have enough money to eat healthy
This is not valid…
I guarantee you do
You will probably even SAVE money
Welcome to Dieting on a budget
we touched on this in episode 9- popular weight loss excuses
many people think they will need to go to expensive health food stores and supplement stores
hire a trainer and diet coach and personal chef
maybe even a personal assistant that can walk around with you and slap the food out of your hands
Have you ever looked at thin celebrities and think they can stay thin or lose baby weight since they have so much money
Unless their money goes towards liposuction
they have what we have
24 hours in a day
ability to count calories
freedom to focus on anything they would like to focus on
and arms and legs and lungs just like we do
you may argue and say they have access to the best fitness instructors and cooks money can buy
if you have the internet, or access to you tube- you do too.
Once you drop the excuses, you will start seeing progress
I can tell you honestly- I spend less money since acquiring my healthy habits
For a handful of reasons
1. I “pack” more
I premake all my meals except my dinners on Sunday for the upcoming week-
takes guess work out of what to eat when hunger strikes to stay healthy
packing is almost always less expensive than buying
for example- even if you think it might be cheap- if you swing through fast food
and order a drink and something to tide you over- you are normally spending 4-5$
for that amount you could buy a tub of hummus, a bag of baby carrots and bag of celery and have snacks for the entire week
or a bag of apples or oranges or pears and a pack of 5 individual 100 calorie peanuts
or a pack of string cheese, carton of eggs to hard boil, AND bunch of bananas
all for under 5$ for a week
AND all of these options are most likely healthier than those chicken fingers, or those fries or milk shakes at the drive thru
2. The second reason you save money- you eat LESS
I used to look at my bank statements and I was amazed sometimes at how much I spent at fast food, gas stations, and restaurants
all throughout my week
because I was always hungry (not physically hungry, emotionally hungry- discussed in podcast 20)
and it was habit to give myself food when I wanted to make myself feel better. And looking back- I must have felt bad a lot
3. Less ordering in due to inadequate planning, organization mishaps, or low energy
For me- we ordered in and ate out often because I didn’t have energy to cook- to stand in the kitchen for a half hour or an hour after work
was way too much for me. I timbered over onto the couch after work and barley moved
