“If you don’t have confidence, you’ll always find a way not to win.”

– Carl Lewis

Now, Carl Lewis is not a food guru or a nutrition expert. However, he is one of the most celebrated athletes in the  with 9 gold Olympic medals and 8 World Champion medals in track and field and sprinting.

What he says though applies 100% to our approach to eating and maintaining our health. When it comes to junk food and fast foods, you’ll never win. It is bad for you, even in small measures. Unfortunately, resolve is not always as strong as can be, and our motivation is questioned constantly. Stop putting yourself down and you will find that it is easier to resist eating improperly because you believe in yourself, and you love yourself.
