Eating With A Purpose....

Today the cravings are really strong. I just want to grab some cookies or chips or something like that, but I WON'T.
I have to keep my goal in mind. I have to keep the picture of my lean, tight and muscular body before my mind's eye.
I have to eat with a purpose. I have to keep reminding myself that the turkey pattie and the chicken soup I brought in today for lunch will keep me lean.

That cookie (you know I can't have just one....) will make a comfortable home around my middle section and my thighs. If I want to MELT THE FAT, then I have to eat accordingly to see the fat melt away.

So I ask myself, what is this craving really about? Why do I want to sabotage my hard earned workouts and sacrificial eating over the past few weeks?

This is where the IRON WILL and FOCUSED determination come into play. I have to muster up the strength to say "NO"!!!

Drinking lots of water helps with the cravings somewhat. It's good for me too. So today, I'll up my water intake.

I'm getting nearer to my dream body.
I'm developing good discipline habits that transpire into other areas of my life too, not just fitness.
I'm cooperating with my goals and dreams and working towards their fulfillment.
I'm being empowered to achieve.
It's 80% what we eat and only 20% training and resting.

By God's grace, I WILL accomplish what I have started and see it through to the finish line.
I'm a WINNER!
