*Sigh*
I am determined to fix this. But how? At this point, it's honestly tough to remember to eat at regular intervals. Let alone plan my meals out! I'd rather get my 8 hours of sleep than spend 1-2 hours planning out my week. Plus, then I don't really feel satisfied anyway.
I know Jillian says that eating is all about calories in, calories out. But I seriously think that is so oversimplified. You need to eat the right foods. You can enjoy eating. And from one foodie (me) to one trainer (Jill) - I can't just give up the mac and cheese. It doesn't work that way.
I can see this conversation happening:
Jill (J) - "If you can't ditch the (mac & cheese, chocolate, cookies, insert other unhealthy food here), maybe you don't want it enough."
Me - "Oh Jillian, but I do! I want it so badly getting fit is all I think about! Well, that and the (mac & cheese, chocolate, cookies, insert other unhealthy food here)."
J - "Amanda, you need to choose your battles. The mac & cheese has no power, but your body will function without your consent."
Me - *sigh* "Okay, Jillian."
Just another day in ignorant indulgence.
Amanda, you are so funny. I enjoy these blogs. I agree how hard it is to give up so many foods we enjoy so much. I love mac & cheese too but find myself declining it because I think about what it will do to my body. Look at the bad foods this way ~ it's tasting good for only a brief moment. After it goes down the hatch, you may regret eating it. This happens to me. However, I've stopped eating a lot of bad things I did in the past. After thinking about those foods, I think it's no wonder I gained all this weight. We'll get there my dear.
