As an example I used to tell myself I was restricted by tracking calories and that’s why I was constantly falling off track

Now each journey is individual and I’m not saying it’s the right approach for everyone or a lifelong tool but it applies elsewhere too

In reality I just upset that I needed to improve my nutrition and not just continue eating whatever (like people online with insane physiques *seemed* to do)

I was convinced it was holding me back but the numbers were never the issue, it was my mindset and habits

I’d grab a coffee after breakfast before work and not be able to resist getting a cake too (which theres nothing wrong with but my goals required the temporary compromise)

I’d implement it into My Fitness Pal and quickly realise that if I wanted to meet my targets I’d just have to eat 400g of chicken and veg across the rest of the day, which since it was only 9am I was absolutely not going to stick to

I wasn’t restricted by tracking in this instance, I was restricted by my choices

I could’ve had 4-5 nutrition dense meals that supported my goals, kept me full and still ended the day with some chocolate too but I chose to act on impulse for what I wanted in that moment instead

This obviously led me to overeat and ‘try again’ tomorrow (btw the cycle just repeated itself)

You don’t have to eliminate all elements of enjoyment in your life in order to get to where you want to be, you just need to be willing to act in line with your goals for the majority of the time

I am about to become insufferable but we’ll call it a High Protein recipe in the meantime

PSA that you don’t need to feel guilty for being a human

My goals are important to me hence why I dedicate a lot of time doing things that support them

Outside of my fitness journey i’m also just a girl in her 20’s who wants to enjoy life

I don’t need to do anything to compensate for that

Last week was about slowing down, having fun and making memories & that’s exactly what I did

Now I’m back, I’m just returning to normal and not punishing myself

It’s normal for scale weight to fluctuate when routine changes

I could slash my calories or increase my cardio but that would probably build up the narrative that I have to ‘earn’ time away

That just tarnishes what moments like these are supposed to be about

It’s also a waste of my energy and enjoyment over something that’s going to be a distant memory in the weeks to come anyway

Now I can look back and remember the amazing time I had, not how I treated myself in the days following it

and if it’s through lack of adherence, then that’s on you to solve x

If it’s moving in the right direction on average, then that’s what matters

Control what you can and don’t stress about what you can’t

There is no point wasting time dwelling on things you can’t change, just crack on as normal

Anyway, appreciate the crack in my screen protector over my front camera for the special effects provided🫶🏻
