Why

Reasons why I don't:
1. Eat late in the evening
2. Eat when I'm not hungry
3. Eat too much
4. Binge on sugar, fried foods, and simple carbs

Are:
1. Higher weight on the scale
2. Tummy ache
3. Bloating/gas/constipation
4. Irritability
5. Disappointment

Why do I make the same mistakes over and over? Why am I not on board this time? Why can't I convince myself to eat the right amount of the right things? Why do I want terrible foods? I can't seem to retrain myself.

I need to learn new truths:
1. My body is a temple made to keep me happy and healthy, if I give it what it needs.
2. My body can do amazing things, like run ultra marathons, if I nourish it properly.
3. I feel good when I'm eating mostly fruits and veggies.
4. Sugar is poison. Leads to cavities, diabetes, etc
5. I want to weigh less. I want my weight lower for my next ultra because I'll need every edge I can get.
6. When I see my childhood/high school friends I want them to be envious. :)
7. I am valuable enough to treat well.
8. I'm worth taking care of.
