weight loss, muscles and sore bodies....but its like after the weekend "off" yeah, your hurting a little bit, but a new week starts and you get this little voice inside you that says, "Yeah, this is awesome!!!!"
"No pain no gain!" The harder you push yourself, the more your hurt. However, after a while the pain is replaced by pleasure. The more progress you see, the better you feel and the more driven you are to reach another level of "awesomeness".
Oh my God! I used to be this way, diet, exercise, and feeling great with my achievements regardless the pain and food deprivation many times.
I wanted to look great because I needed to get others liking me. Later, on a second thought, I realized that I like myself no matter how I look, and that I love food above weight loss diets, so while I still workout a bit, I don't longer care how I look like but how I feel, and I feel awesome because at last I can eat to please me, not to please others
