"Just One Bite..." by Jessica Tyrrell, Gold's Gym Member

Have you ever had that really nice friend of yours come up to you with something so delicious that it makes your mouth water and then they say “Just have one bite. It isn’t going to kill you” and they KNOW you’re on a diet!  Or even the battle within yourself of telling yourself that you can have one bite and it isn’t going to hurt you.  The thing you need to really ask yourself is; are you really just going to have ONE bite? For me the answer is very simple, no. If you give me a cookie and I take a bite I’m pretty sure I’m going to demolish the rest of that cookie and then tell myself that if I ate one cookie I already blew my diet for the day and I’m going to eat another. It goes the same with any type of food you eat. Just one bite of pasta. Just one bite of pizza. Just one bite of…. You get the point!

This is where your will power comes into play. Getting fit doesn’t only mean busting your butt in the gym everyday or even making it there for that fact. Can you say no to that yummy chocolate chip cookie staring at you? You better believe it! Why would you ever want to go to the gym and burn so many calories just to spoil it! A quick fact - eating healthy is 90% of losing weight! That is crazy talk to me but it’s oh so true!  I really never understood how badly I needed healthy food until I met my trainer, Vinnie. He’s taught me that food = fuel. If I have bad food I don’t perform well at the gym and it’s a simple fact.  Eating healthy and saying no to that first bite is what will keep you going in the gym and it’s what will give you results! EVERYONE has the will power in them.  How strong are you?

My tip of the week! Say NO to that one bite! It’s not worth it. : )
