Rewarding yourself for your successes, both large and small, is a key part of staying motivated.

We are so time poor that rewarding ourselves with treat foods like cake and biscuits is the easiest way to show ourselves some self-love. And it’s the same for soothing ourselves if we’ve had a bad day. But could this be sabotaging your efforts?

Do you sometimes feel you’re being driven by an invisible force – usually in the direction of the fridge or treats cupboard? And you know you definitely would be able to stick to eating healthily if you didn’t get the irrepressible urge for something sweet…you may have an issue with blood sugar balance.

If you have ever tried to lose weight, you may have observed that the man in your life – who isn’t even trying to lose weight but is just along for the ride because otherwise he wouldn’t get fed – loses more than you and more quickly! This is really annoying and unfair but this phenomenon is an actual thing – and you are not imagining it.

Whether you want to see improvements in your health and fitness, or better relationships, the change you want is unlikely to happen without a clear set of goals. Knowing what you want is just the first step – knowing how to get there is as – if not MORE – important.
