How do I motivate myself to eat healthy?

Question

I am ready to lose weight. I’ve gotten way too big for being as young and short as I am. I lose my motivation for eating healthy because I’m tempted by all the bad foods in our house. How can I stay motivated and not cave in to eat unhealthy?

Answer

I’ve noticed that the more I workout the more I’m motivated to eat better. But if I sit around I just want junk food. Now I still eat my chocolate but I don’t pig out on it like I use too.

Answer

If you love and respect your body, then you will make sure that it is being nourished with the Foods it needs. So work on respecting yourself and loving yourself first and foremost. BTW, sometimes your body will ask you for certain types of food and it’s OK to eat it, but respect your body by listening to it to know when you have had enough instead of eating much more than you really need.

Answer

Try rewarding yourself with the lesser healthy foods. Hear me out! When I get on a junk food kick its hard for me to stop. For instance I went out for pizza with my man yesterday. We both try to be good to our bodies. We had a salad bar as our main meal and for "dessert" we had 1 to 2 slices of pizza. Working out will make you crave water and healither foods too. and if you still want a fried chicken texture, look up baking alternatives to frying. Just my opinions

Answer

It’s great you’re trying to eat healthier, but just remember to be flexible with your diet too. You don’t have to completely cut out everything, it’s best to eat in moderation and not deprive yourself of foods you love. You can also follow the 80/20 rule where you eat 80% healthy foods  to fuel your body, and leave the 20% for the foods you love. And remember eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring, there are many great recipes that are healthy and taste delicious. Hope this helps!
