~Summer~

Sounds like maybe you are an emotional eater, that certain instances trigger you to eat when you're not really hungery- and that has caused you to gain weight. Motivation can be a tough thing, it's just as difficult to pull it out of the closet along with the weight equipment. Do this, every time you reach for something to eat- stop & question yourself. Ask yourself if you are truley hungry, or if you are eating to compfort yourself. It can be difficult to descern sometimes, but if you stop yourself everytime, you may be able to put down the snack food & decide if you're doing it to feed your body, or feed your emotions. Emotional eating can form really bad habits, it can really make you loose track of when your body needs to eat- because you only eat when your emotions are triggered. Any time you feel that you are eating just to compfort yourself, try to put the snack down & use that energy you would have spent on eating- and use that energy to work out instead. I know how extra weight can make you feel- it really is depressing at times, but just try to remain positive of how happy you will feel when you loose the weight that you want to. Weight loss can be a really gratifying thing because we did it OURSELVES, and no matter what- no one else did it for you, you accomplished this all on your own. Try to remain positive & don't let emotions get in the way of your progress. Take it one day at a time & you will succeed. If you ever back track, don't consider it a failure...remember, there is allways a NEW day when you wake up in the morning, so if one day you fail, you have another sunrise to wake up to and start again!
