I needed the rest anyway so relaxed a little on the food for a week
Thanks to everyone who only reiterated what I had already admitted.
Getting out and doing plenty is not the issue.
As I said it's when I stop the plan for whatever reason I have the mental breakdown. Yep it's weakness I know that and not looking for justification, some practical advice like harden up always works I guess ?.
I dont really look at this as a weakness, we (including yourself) know you can put the work in and we know you can get results so you aren't mentally or physically week. What I think you need is to change your relationship with food or at least improve the healthiness of the food choices you make. Just making simple changes like choosing to eat only whole foods that are not processed will help. That essentially means you only eat meat, dairy, veggies, rice and nuts/pulses/beans.
You need to think about what triggers you to have bad eating habits and either change the habit or be aware of it up front and chose a different outcome. The fact that you posted says you want to o change so now you have made your mind up, the rest should be simple.
If I'm going to come clean, this is a major issue for me and no doubt it's 99.99% of the reason I fail reaching my goals.
If I'm training and have a plan, my diet is is great, I plan my meals, I stick to the plan and results slowly follow.
Recently I did an injury whilst lifting, I convinced myself I needed the rest anyway so relaxed a little on the food for a week. Decided to lift again, injury was still aggravated so I continued on my relaxed diet, then this leas into a weeks holidays I had planned so convinced myself I'd start again after the holiday but this was just before easter and so the chocolate eggs came out and a week after easter I had a camping trip book so put the diet on the back burner til I got back and when I did get back was only 2 more days til the next long weekend and here I am.
1 month of eating crap and no workouts and it's no surprise I feel like crap.
So for me I have a major issue, I'm either all in or all out. As long as I remember food has been a treat or something to enjoy but I gotta break this habit.
So I need to learn some hard truths and get to the root cause and I'm being vulnerable here by admitting my weakness and lack of discipline.
I was reading an old PTC transformation blog where Markos writes about emotional eating and his cure so to speak was for 2 weeks, 185g of Tuna and vegetables 5 times per day. Extreme yes, but is it worth a shot for someone weak willed like me?
Who or has anyone overcome emotional eating?
Cheers

Strangely enough, just stumbled onto this:

About 90% of the articles on T-nation are total crap, but now and then they hit the right spot.
