Once you know the reason behind your binges, you can find more constructive ways of dealing with them in the future. Positive affirmations and visualization can help alter your negative beliefs about yourself. If you spend time each day reinforcing positive thoughts and images about yourself eventually you will internalize them and feel more comfortable with your outer changes. If health and fitness are your lifetime goals, it may take time before you find a plan that works for you. Focus on small, gradual changes you can maintain forever.
Quick fixes are usually temporary.
Don't get sucked in to a food plan that's so rigid you must alter your lifestyle just to follow it. Remember, one day off a food plan won't kill you and small, gradual steps that you can adhere to for life are more likely to lead to permanent success. When you fall off course, forgive yourself and get back on track as soon as possible. The Motivation Station. All rights reserved.
