So I thought I would inform everyone of a great revelation I've had this week, but first i'll explain how I've come to it.
So some people might remember, with the Easter Weekend I decided to try to maintain instead of lose anything. I decided this Wednesday night and with this in mind SW basically went out the window as of Thursday after the gym.
Bad things I've had this week I can think of included 2 harvesters, eton mess, take away pizza, subway, BBQ (buns and some lamb kebabs, as well as some SW friendly chicken and prawns). As well as going out drinking twice.
Because I decided I was going to be off SW this week, instead of going back to a normal week before SW it turned into "eat anything bad you can because you wont be able to next week".
This week I've been feeling a bit sick, constantly tired, sluggish and even constipated. It has really made me realise how healthy SW is and how much better I feel when I eat healthily!
I also read something on MSN diets this week, where they were talking about sugar. They basically said that eating refined sugar (in sweets, choc, fatty foods etc makes you crave more sugar, and if you avoid it in the first place you wont crave more. I feel like this is SO true, and a pretty good explanation for why sometimes eating one bad thing can spiral out of control and result in us falling off the wagon.
After a week of eating rubbish, I put on 1.5lbs. I feel like I'm very lucky to have only put that much on! However instead of thinking right I've gotta be really good this week. I actually WANT to be good this week. This week has made me realise that eating rubbish, genuinly makes me feel rubbish. Eating well and exercising makes me feel good!
Dont get me wrong I'm sure I will still fall off the wagon from time to time as we all will, but I think i'll always feel rubbish afterwards and I've just really noticed it this week!
I'm looking forward to many weeks of feeling like I have energy, not feeling sick/bloated or sluggish now
I thought it would be helpful for me and for everyone else for me to share this revelation with everyone. Sorry I know it's a long read!
