I really wish that I could somehow take a snapshot of exactly how I'm feeling right now. Then the next time that I decide it's a good idea to eat a bunch of junk food/fast food, I could just pull out that picture and remind myself why I don't want to eat that!!!
Since that's just not possible, I'm going to try to describe this feeling. Hopefully that'll work as well for a reminder to myself! I went to kickboxing this morning, and instead of having energy for a great workout, I felt horrible. I had zero energy. My stomach ached. I felt like I was going to throw up. My head felt fuzzy and unfocused. And I just wanted to throw my hands in the air and give up. That's what I get for eating processed junk!
When I eat healthy foods, I feel 100% better! I have more energy and just all around feel great.
So why do I still go back to that unhealthy junk on a regular basis? Maybe it's selective amnesia. I tend to forget just how this stuff makes me feel! So here it is, in black and white, in my own words. The next time I'm tempted by junk food, I need to pull up this post first. Hopefully that'll be enough of a reminder to myself to make a better choice.
