Why do I do this when I know I won’t feel good?

“Why can’t I remember how good I feel when I’m about to make a bad food decision?”

Maybe you can relate to that thought when it comes to staying on track with your weight loss.

When that urge to cheat rises up, it’s SO overpowering.

Sometimes it seems to steamroll you, but other times it’s sneaky, like the serpent in the Garden of Eden coaxing you into “just one bite.”

Either way, there it is, and it takes SO much effort not to give in.

There’s a popular saying you’ve probably heard that goes, “when you know better, you do better.”

But I don’t agree with that. I definitely know better when it comes to certain foods, yet I occasionally still eat stuff I know is gonna make me sick.

And I get SO mad at myself.

In those moments where I’m thinking of cheating, it always helps to hear from someone I respect and will listen to…someone who can “talk me off the ledge” and remind me to make good decisions.

That person is who I can be for YOU when you’re a Code Red Rebel.

My Coaches can be those people for you.

My Mentors can be those people for you.

And your fellow Rebels can be those people for you.

We get it. We know what it’s like to struggle with that stupid cheat voice!

But the fact it’s there doesn’t mean you shouldn’t fight to get and keep this weight off…or fight to get and stay healthy.

Time is going by, and every day you spend it not prioritizing your health is another day you can’t keep up with your grandkids.

It’s another day you spend hiding in frumpy clothes because you’re embarrassed by your body (or can’t find clothes that fit).

It’s another day you sit on the sidelines and watch other people doing things you wish you had the energy and physical ability and confidence to do.

Depending on when you’re reading this, the 4th of July is coming. Labor Day is coming. Halloween is coming. Thanksgiving is coming, and then Christmas, when you’ll have to be in those family holiday photos again.

Will you be kneeling behind your kids again? Will you be standing in the back row with only one eyeball and a tuft of hair visible again?

Stop waiting until tomorrow or “some day” to take your life back, and TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK.

Let’s break free in 2023…and get connected to the Code Red community. You have a part to play in your success, but you are NOT alone!

Stay connected, so that when the cheat voice rises up again (because make no mistake, it will), you aren’t alone in the dark with it, listening to its bullcrap lies.

Let your fellow Rebels be the “counter-voice” to help you shut it down and keep doing what’ll feel good ALL the time, not just for 10 seconds while you cheat.

Get connected and TAKE YOUR LIFE BACK!
