If I had a dollar for every time I heard this said in the gym, either directly to me or from overhearing women talk about how they can’t seem to manage staying on ‘this diet’ or ‘that diet’, I’d be very wealthy.. If you have ever felt this way (I know I have), you are not the only one. You see I too have no discipline when it comes to dieting, in fact from this moment forth I’d like to us to pretend the word ‘discipline’ does not exist and instead lets start calling it ‘being organised’. Because that is something we can do. All it takes is a little preparation and having food on hand rather than leaving it up to chance with your next meal.<\/p>\n
When I say I have no discipline to diet, what I mean is if I go for more than 3 hours without eating (and I mean eating substantial, real food, including lots of real protein, nothing packaged) then there’s no way in hell I can ‘control’ or ‘discipline’ myself for the cravings that follow.. In fact I usually don’t just limit it to sweet things like chocolate, I’ll eat anything that’s not tied down if I get that out of control hunger and the entire day is ruined from there. In fact once at a hen’s high tea party I stayed longer than I expected and didn’t take any of my own food (big mistake). I got hungry and that was the end of self control, I diminished the entire table of cupcakes and biscuits (or at least 50% of it) entirely to myself. So that became my cheat meal, or afternoon off. I enjoyed it rather than beating myself up about it and got back on the wagon the following day, as should you.<\/p>\n
The moral to the story is, start the day with protein and eat a minimum every 3-4 hours if you want to survive, get lean, lose weight, think clearer the list goes on. It’s a harsh world out there and there’s no such thing as permanent ‘discipline to diet’.<\/p>\n
