Our measurements keep on being one of the most important parts of our system.
If you don’t check everyone all of the time, then anyone can slide back and lead to a more destructive slide. The way I see as we do it once a month, any temporary spell of bad eating is stopped right in its tracks.
Lots of individuals “secret eat” usually to avoid stressful situations, or react to someone upsetting them regularly. This is a mechanism to deal with stress of any kind, which in turn leads to even more stress with the body fat and weight gain.
Then you beat yourself up about it because you know you shouldn’t have overeaten, then it becomes a vicious cycle.
Your self-esteem will keep on dropping until you arrest the decline by taking steps to change the way you eat, and avoiding the triggers that push you over the edge all the time into making bad choices, such as avoiding negative people or influences in your life.
This is why snacking healthily is important in between meals. If you just have three big meals, then the temptation to snack with chocolate or pastries can be huge because you have to long in between meals and your sugar levels can drop considerably, causing an urge for a quick fix, this can soon become a bad habit, and eventually be a way of life that’s highly destructive to your chances of sustainable body fat loss.
All of us have had bad measurements from time, some deeply upsetting, but it’s how we bounce back strongly from them that shapes our character, and makes our future health much more sustainable and likely to be very strong.
