#fatfiles is going really well! A lot of you are telling me all about your journeys and everytime I read one I feel more inspired. You're an inspiring bunch!
I've been featuring the #fatfiles on Instagram pretty much everyday so please do go and follow me there for extra support & motivation and I'll be sure to follow back as many of you as I can!
Things I've learned:
endurance is something I want to work on. I can do pretty much anything for a short period of time but if I have to do something for a longer time, I end up being a shaking, panting mess! I would love to be hear your tips on improving endurance if you have any!
Problems:
I have pulled a stomach muscle across my abs (non existant) and down my right side which makes me bend in half when I'm walking so working out has been tricky while I've had it. This is probably the worst injury thus far I've had from working out but I would love to hear your tips on avoiding injury or ways to help strained muscles if you have any?
Diet:
In terms of diet, I've got it down! I know what I need in a day to keep me functioning and I know what to avoid in order to stop bingeing. I have my treat night (Saturday night) but the rest of the week I know what I have to do.
My 'triggers' for bad eating is mainly stress. If I feel at all stressed or anxious or sad then I reach for unhealthy food. I've tried avoiding these situations by cutting out people and things that make me feel that way. I've come to realize that a lot of my stress is caused - both directly and indirectly - by my weight and worrying about weight loss. So instead of reaching for my old pal Mr Pringles, I instead find comfort in being in control of my diet. It sounds a but silly writing it down, but it's the truth.
Anyways, this episode of #fatfiles was a bit of a long one! Be sure to follow me on instagram for more #fatfiles fun!
