Almost every other day I tell myself "okay tomorrow I am going to eat healthy." and does it ever actually happen? Of course not... Eating healthy is easily one of the hardest things to do, especially living in a sorority house where we have chefs that cook us delicious meals every single day. The days I eat healthy I feel so good about myself, but then the next day the healthy streak is all over. I try to eat healthy not to lose weight but you just feel so much better yourself and your whole body just feels better.
Eating healthy is hard because eating is a very social thing to do and obviously when you go out with a group of pals to some restaurant you aren't going to order a gross dry salad that you know is going to taste like crap. Any time I have ordered a salad, I just hard core mooch off everyone else... even though I already am a little bit of a moocher as it is. If the person next to you is going to order a burger, chances are everyone else is going to order a burger of some kind or something greasy too. If one person eats bad, we ALL eat bad.
I am one of those people that if I work out I think I deserve to reward myself with something unhealthy which is totally not the way working out works. "Yeah I did cardio for 45 minutes that means I get pizza" is the exact line that goes through my head most of the time. Unhealthy food is a great incentive for doing something good and we all like to be rewarded when we accomplish something even if its literally going to class. Especially when the weekend finally arrives I go HAM in the junk food.
Saying no to ice cream or chocolate is one of the most impossible things EVER. How could anyone let down a nice cup of yummy soft served ice cream? What kills me too is if it's right in front of my face. If I am sitting at dinner and I know ice cream is waiting like 10 feet behind me, OBVIOUSLY I have to go get some. Ice cream is one of those things that you really can't get too full with unless you eat like 10 scoops of it. Also, ice cream is always good to have no matter what type of weather it is, at least I think so. I eat ice cream in the winter time even if its a blizzard outside (some people think that's weird ?).
When I am starving, the first thing that pops into my head is NOT something with zero carbs and no sugar in it, and I think that goes for most people too. I guess I have decided for the rest of my life everyday I will wake up with the same motto of "I will try and eat healthy tomorrow" already knowing it is not going to happen.
