PeelerSheila@aussie.zone âš7â© âšhoursâ© agoYouâre right. I get into this cycle where Iâm really good for a while, exercising and avoiding the treat foods, and then I eventually crack and eat a few things I shouldnât. Then itâs like Iâm all, âwell Iâve ruined it all now!â instead of just maintaining consistency. I canât remember who said it, but they allowed themselves a small amount of treat food regularly because if they didnât, theyâd eventually and inevitably fail their diet in a spectacular way and go on a ravenous treat bingeing rampage. This is an idea I need to adopt I think!

I think thatâs the way to go.
Consistency really is key because eventually you start only wanting the good food. Because it makes you feel good. It takes a little time to get there but when you do youâll know it.
You get to a point where eating not healthy affects you because youâve built up a stronger foundation of health.
Iâm what weâll call âgym cultureâ there is absolutely the cheat day because itâs human nature to want something a little sugary or whatever.
Itâs OK to slip up. But getting back into it as soon as you can I reckon is a good way to go about things.
Enjoy your birthday week without guilt. And when youâre ready, you can get back to working towards your goal :)
