When in Rome…
Eat the pizza, eat the ice cream.
I’m fortunate to be working out in in Rome for 3 days, and on my first night here I headed across to my favourite place, The Pantheon. Just love it – don’t know what it is but there is something about that place…
Anyway..
I did the typical tourist thing (on my own), a beer or 2, a pizza, and then a double ice cream to finish sitting in the Piazza there.
It’s got to be done sometimes, right?
It’s nice when you can. When there is leeway.
BUT….
Only because I know how to handle it now.
I didn’t in the past – I would eat the above, then repeat. And some more.
And it added up.
Even though I went to the gym.
You can’t out-train a bad diet, as they say.
I consistently kept putting the weight on.
But I kept telling myself it was ok:
“I’m on holiday”
“I’ve earned it”
“I’ll burn it off”
“It’s not that often” etc etc..
It was far from ok. It was destructive. The more I did it, the less I felt in control. I didn’t feel like exercising. And the cycle would repeat.
Until I decided enough was enough. I took a dose of my own medicine.
I took control – took the power back and took charge of what I ate. Until I was where I wanted to be.
I ate what I want, when I wanted…
But said no sometimes too.
Easily. Effortlessly.
Once I knew how.
The right mindset. I got my thinking to work for me with food, rather than against me, as it had been doing.
Today I can balance things out now – and stay where I want to be. So I can have the ‘treats’ – in moderation, special occasions, or if I’ve scheduled them in.
If you are looking to lose weight, or trying to maintain but get tempted too often and you fluctuate too much – if you want to turn things around but don’t know how…
I’ve been there.
I’ve coached people around it.
Successfully.
For 10 years now.
And you know what? The thing that HAS to change first is MINDSET.
