In 2018, I can remember that by the end of the contest period I was unbelievably hungry.
It wasn’t something I wanted to tell my clients but I was drinking water and black coffee like it was going out of fashion. Coffee was preventing my hunger. Water was filling me.
As was the almost a kilo of vegetables per day. But vegetables fill you. But they don’t stop hunger. Hunger is not from lack of fullness. Hunger for me was just lack of nutrients.
I was hungry, I was tired, I was short fused and during most of that prep I was keeping busy to forget food.
Why do I put myself through that sort of discomfort. Because I had goals I wanted to achieve and at the end the achievement makes you forget the suffering.
Losing weight as much as people don’t want to face it will make you hungry. How you deal with it is up to you. Do you complain about it or do you just deal with it knowing that there is happiness in reaching a goal.
Many times Roger Federer would win a grand slam and cry. Why did he cry? Because all the emotions of suffering resulted in the ultimate prize. His body just let go of the stress and emotion all at once.
The pain and suffering to reach a goal makes the achievement all the sweeter in the end. Unfortunately society has brought us up to make us feel that suffering to reach a goal is wrong.
Everything we have been taught is that we don’t need to work hard for a goal because we all get a reward. I feel we are heading in a direction of the unproductive are being rewarded on the fruits of the productive.
We all want instantaneous rewards for little work. Unfortunately as many people discover, nothing is easy and the less we have to work for something the less we appreciate it.
If your finding it difficult to achieve your goals. Maybe you need to put more value in your goals and less on instantaneous gratification that’s preventing you achieving your goals.
