You Can't Sustain this Lifestyle or Any Diet Without Enjoyment

Enjoying the food you eat is hands down 1 of the most important factors to longevity in bodybuilding

This doesn’t mean every meal or food has to be something extravagant but we can treat every meal extravagantly by connecting it to our needs & goals

I know, I know I’ve heard it all too:

• “prep is supposed to suck“
• “you can’t trust labels”
• “if you don’t track everything you eat then don’t expect to xyz”
• “tracking everything is disordered”
• “eating whole foods is superior”
• “suck it up”
• “you shouldn’t want those foods anyways”
• “__tastes like 3rd callouts”
• “you’re weak minded if you ___”
• “iifym should be the only way”
• “meal plans are the key”
• “you’ll need to put that food to use!”

*insert all the other thoughts, discussions, or should based mentalities infiltrating the industry for years to convince you to buy into one way or one community*

We can take the negative message OR We can choose to take from this that doing what’s best for you & what you enjoy really is the key to success in this sport
Look at your Olympians, look at the champs who have won consecutively, look at those who've stopped competing yet still live the lifestyle

CONSISTENCY & SELF-AWARENESS are 2 things they have in common

They’ve found what works for them, they enjoy it, they know what living the lifestyle means for them, & so they've been able to sustain it or they’ve been comfortable making changes so they could

Many of them have their own; approach, views, food beliefs, process for prep & improvement season, & mental outlook on the sport

Rather than questioning if you’re doing the “right” thing, focus on if you’re doing the sustainable thing

I personally had to shed many of my beliefs around “right” or “wrong” to reach the mental, emotional, & physical alignment I have now

When I am challenged by those old thoughts, I remind myself the judgement will exist everywhere but the verdict is in my hands & being influenced by external sources would deem me incompetent of creating my life sentence 😉

Do you feel me on this?
