"You can't workout enough to combat poor eating choices"

"I have been a yoyo dieter for as long as I can remember. I was overweight from childhood until after college. lost approximately 40 lbs after college, but could never maintain a consistent weight. I tried every diet fad and magic pill around thinking there had to be an easier way. Finally, I turned to exercise with what I thought was a healthy diet. But at least exercise crept into the picture. I would exercise 3-4 days a week and eat semi-clean from Monday through Friday afternoon, but devour any and everything I wanted Friday through Sunday. I would say 'I DESERVE it after my hard work and discipline during the week.' I began to slowly creep back up the scales. Saying surely I'm just building muscle. Then, when the pants no longer fit and 'the dryer kept shrinking my clothes,' I knew it wasn't muscle. But, I continued to keep the same unhealthy eating habits and tried to increase the intensity of my workouts with no results. I had about decided it must be my thyroid or my metabolism was sluggish after turning thirty. It couldn't be the cake, candy, wine, burgers, pizza, and fries I had eaten over the weekend. I mean I worked hard and deserved it. I was in such denial. In a last-ditch effort, before going to the Dr. to test my thyroid, I signed up for the clean kitchen and IAV. And who would have thought I am down 10 pounds!!!! That is a huge deal for this girl. It is so true that nutrition is the key to looking fit and lean. You can't workout enough to combat poor eating choices I am so pleased with my results and so grateful to the coaches for changing my outlook on food and nutrition.
