For example, say I want to lose weight and eat healthy. I binge eat all the junk food in the world on December 31st to get it all out of the house.
Starting January 1st, I go crazy and extreme and only eat vegetables and what I think are healthy foods.
I weigh myself every day. It is day 5 and I’ve gained 2 pounds… I’m not thinking about the fact that I’ve had no time to exercise?
Wait, I need to exercise and eat healthy?
I’m still not in balance. I’m still not eating junk, but I didn’t research to see what I really needed for my personal balance and how to transition to a healthy, balanced lifestyle and not just go on this fad diet that I found.
I might last a few more weeks… but I will give up and just go back to eating junk all of the time.
I feel like a failure and binge eat a bunch of candy and chips.
Then the cycle just spins downward….
