Regrets

Once you start eating healthy and are eating healthy consistently, your body will let you know when you aren't being true to your new diet.

You may be tempted to eat like you did before your diet... but after 6 months of not cheating yourself, your body will let you know that those extra sweets and/or carbs you ate are sitting in your stomach. It makes you uncomfortable and let's you know that it's not worth it. It might taste good passing your lips, but your body doesn't need it and let's you know it doesn't want it.

I made this mistake a few times and thought it was important to include in my blog as a reminder to myself. The discomfort is not worth the taste. Moderation is key. If you only feel like eating half of something, don't force yourself to eat the whole thing! Only eat what you feel comfortable eating and don't let others affect your decision making. You know what's right for your body and you've worked so hard that those few extra calories are jeopardizing your personal goals/maintenance.

Don't live your life with regrets... enjoy yourself... but don't over indulge!
