Question: Does our eating and workout for the day depend on the clothes we wear that day?
I eat really well during the week. I fight off temptations much easier than the weekend. I know part of that is because my weekdays are structured. I know where I will be every minute of the weekday. While at work I can't go to the pantry and sneak some of the kids grains (goldfish-yes, I'm still buying them goldfish.)
But I started thinking about something. When I'm at home on the weekends I am usually wearing my lounge pants that are 2 sizes too big, my t-shirt that is old and stretched. No make-up, hair pulled out of my face. If I run to the store or to my parents or sisters house I change out of my lounge clothes..but I don't fix myself up. I don't do my hair or makeup.
Am I telling myself that I don't care when I dress like that? Am I telling myself that I'm lazy when I walk past my mirror in my bathroom and I see myself looking 20 lbs heavier than I am just because of my clothing? Hum. Is this why I over-eat and snack on crap when I am at home on the weekends? Is this affecting my workouts... or lack of workouts on the weekend?
I think it's time for a challenge. Starting this weekend I will put on my nice workout clothes that are fitted and make me feel good. I will wear a little makeup. I will attempt something with my hair. I'll keep you posted!
