Triggers

 We all have choices to be made in life. Everything we do is and has been a choice made by yourself. You choose to speak,walk, eat,sleep. You choose to say hi,drive,
walk, do the shopping. Some choices are made because its instinct. Some are just habit. It's 5am in the morning and I couldn't sleep. I had all this going through my mind because of the day I've had. Having bad news nearly made me choose bad choices but I've decided to try put a negative and turn it or its outcome into something positive. This blog I'm going to try explain about what triggers are and how
we can turn the negative into a positive energy. It's actually so important to weight loss. I held on to my weight and insecurities for four years. Yes I've been big before and lost weight but I've never been on such a healthy lifestyle like I am now. My trigger today was learning of my mums illness progressing. The feeling of guilt about certain things can really take over and what I Probably really felt was the thought of loosing someone close to me. The old habits started to try creep back. Your down and feel the need to stuff your face. But why? What would I actually achieve?  You need to ask yourself is it even worth it? Don't think oh IL have that now because IL burn it off tomorrow because truth be known, you Properly won't.the damage is already done. So was the contents in your fridge/ cupboard or the take away menu. Don't undo what hard
work you've already done. Make a stand and tell yourself that you believe in ...YOU! No matter what is going on in your life. Stress can come and go, you just need to learn how to relax. It's taken me till now to actually learn to relax. I was always on the go in everything I do that by just being busy had caused me to become stressed. It's like a mountain that you climb, before you know it you've reached your peak.
The amount of time it takes to lose weight, and the natural tendency to slip up occasionally, can leave people feeling discouraged and disappointed. This can lead to self-criticism, anger, or even guilt about letting friends or family down.

When we have negative thoughts and feelings about our bodies and what they can do, these feelings may overflow into other areas of life. Negative thoughts can control and take over a person's self-image and make it difficult to accomplish goals. This is were you need to change these thoughts and emotions around. Start by loving yourself. If you feel tempted to put your body or yourself down, focus instead on your workouts and by the end of that hour workout you will feel de-stressed and re-freshed.
Another great way to boost self-esteem is to accomplish goals that you set for yourself, just small goals like getting into a pair of jeans or workout 3 times a week. Give yourself a reward, mine isn't in a treat meal but shopping. I told myself i wasn't going to buy any more clothes the same size. Now i can actually fit in clothes a size smaller! Never thought i would but i do and i actually need to go a size smaller again. I do however try make my goals about changing behaviour's. Another way to feel good about yourself is to find others who support you. I'm very lucky as I've built up a really good relationship with other people that go to bootcamp, fitness class and kettlebells. Not all are there to loose weight but some are there to keep up their healthy lifestyle. The encouragement i get is mostly feeling like I'm able to turn up to class on my own not worry what others think. Unlike the gym where you cant get to chat to a few random people.

I use to eat food just because i was bored. Now i keep myself busy. I now know the signs to look out for and replace these habits with good ones like making sure my fridge is stocked up with handy snacks like carrot sticks, humous,boiled eggs, nuts. So if i fancy food i have healthy choices available. Deborah says "failure to prepare equals prepare to fail!!"  

     

This week has been a emotional rollercoster for me and i really hope for everyone that reads this blog can take something away with them and share any information given. Not only have i decided to change my habits but I've also decided to change my lifestyle and work is one of them. i was basically "living to work" Since starting this body transformation I've decided to "work to live" Money although it helps really isn't everything. Sorry but you cant put a price on health. Plus life is too short. I don't want to spend another 30 years of my life not having time to smell the flowers outside because I'm too busy working. I want a balanced work/ life and to start enjoying my good health.  I don't ever want to feel like that sluggish lack of energy girl i once was. This week I've lost 3 pounds. I really want to loose another 2pound to get to the 2stone mark I've lost since being with Deborah Welch fitness and fatloss. I'm feeling very much excited with what the future could hold for me.:)
