7 Day Detox Meltdown!!
First step to losing weight and getting in shape is to have the mind set that you actually want to keep the weight off. Once you make a promise to yourself to keep the weight off then the first step before you even set foot in the gym or come up with an exercise plan is to DETOX. You can't expect a car to run if it has sugar & water in it. You have to clean it out (detox) so when you start taking it on the road (exercise), you'll be starting with premium gas (clean fuel tank and vitamin enriched foods). This will help you heal faster when you exercise. This will help you lose more weight besides just water weight. This will keep the weight off and help curb the sugar cravings that are currently in your system. The first 2 days are the hardest (not going to lie). It is pure torture. You can smell the apple pie your neighbor is baking two houses down. You can smell pizza from Pizza hut two miles up the block. Your senses are heightened. Your mind is more alert and your body is on terrorist alert because it has no idea what is going on, what's all this new healthy food, why you increasing your metabolism and why in the word would you give up that slice of cake, glass of wine or scotch and why didn't you have an egg sandwich on a buttered toasted roll for breakfast! Your body will betray you which is why dieting and losing weight is literally all in your head. You have to convince yourself, talk to yourself constantly, pep talks, have a sponsor to remind you why you doing this. AA (alcoholic rehab) groups have sponsors. You should too!! If you could do it alone, you wouldn't need to be on a diet in the first place. Find a sponsor who is not judgemental. You just need a sounding board. Once your mind is in the game, your body doesn't have a choice. It will give in!!
Do a happy dance when you lose 8 pounds. Anything before that is pure water and can come back at any point. Once you reach 10 pounds.. celebrate and have a cookie! Not a piece of cake, not a box full of cookies. Your celebration dessert should fit in the palm of your hand (your fingers don't count)!. By time you reach that point, your metabolism is burning and you'll burn that celebratory dessert off in no time. Biggest thing to remember... keep moving!!
