My girlfriend told me lately: it appears to me you exercise because ‘you ate too much yesterday’ and therefore do something every day even now during vacation. Oops, wasn’t aware, it’s a good thing to exercise daily, but I’m not happy with my why. How do you manage this?

Whenever I workout and I try to achieve a goal in the gym I know that a bit factor of what I do is my food. However if you just started exercising and you start worrying about what you’re eating, you’re just gonna get stressed out and stop. I suggest keep exercising. Slowly start changing ur eating habits. Take out the chips then the soda. Maybe add something healthy. And like this over time you’re nutrition will also change without u taking a lot of stress because of it. Or at least this is the way I did it. Thank you for reading

Realistically, the best way to manage this is to find a stronger why. You can try to disconnect your relationship in your head between food and exercise, but I usually find that adding something positive is easier than undoing something negative. Find a more powerful (to you!) reason to exercise, such as heart health, more energy, accomplishment, whatever works for you! Repeat this reason out loud to yourself both before your exercise, and during your finishing celebration. Good luck!

It doesnt matter why, as long as you keep doing it consistenly and happy with results. If you are unhappy with your diet, try making a change.

Hei!
Well, it’s a good start when you exercise because makes you feel awesome. If doesn’t happen try to change sport, for example go to a dance class.

It’s cases like these that I like to take stoic philosopher Marcus Aurelius’ advice. You shouldn’t try to exercise because you want to make yourself look better, as that is an argument from vanity. Instead, one should attempt to exercise to help improve the body and mind in their own right. I know it helps to nudge you along if you remind yourself of goals such as burning off what you ate the day before, but once you have started a habit of exercising daily, you should try to start shifting the goals toward a more self-nurturing place. Remember that while some reasons may encourage you to go forward, your true goal is to improve yourself for no-one else’s sake.
Hope this helps.
Have a great day.

Maybe invite your girlfriend to exercise with you. My husband is far more supportive of daily exercise now that he’s a part of the routine.

Change your exercise, try different work out or even start a new sport, riding a bike go for a run or something that make you happy . More than that you should even try to ask her politely if she wants to do some exercise with you. An other important thing : see your workout with love, you are doing good things to yourself and it’s primordial that you thank yourself for the good things that’s you aren’t doing in order to make the habit stronger.
