Do you think you’re the only one struggling each time you start a new diet and fitness regime? Every day you feel bad about the food you’re eating and the lack of sleep and what makes you feel worse is that others seem to go about it pretty easily and with steely resolve. We’ve got news for you. Except for the very few oddballs, everybody feels the same way when starting a new regime. In fact, the reactions are so similar that they are quite funny. Using appropriate GIFs, we give you the lowdown on how each person feels from Day 1 to 10. Check it out.
Day 1
You slept through the alarm ringing, but you’re feeling pretty good about your sugar-free, green-tea-only and salad diet.
Day 2
You managed to wake up, had a nice session at the gym. But now post workout, you’re craving the caffeine big time at work.
Day 3
Your limbs feel like they are made of lead and your diet of greens seems inadequate.
Day 4
You miss carbs big time. And meat too.
Day 5
You wish your trainer was hot because you are feeling some major drain in motivation. You’re now just making do with the TV news channel in the gym to get you through your 45 minutes.
Day 6
Your workout feels great today because your favourite jeans feels a tad loser. You also cheated and had some chicken and you’re feeling guilty about it.
Day 7
That was your mum’s jeans! You’re totally heartbroken and feeling pretty stupid. Suddenly you hate the diet. OFFICIALLY. You tell yourself, ‘To hell with it’ and console yourself with a chocolate dessert.
Day 8
You tell yourself you’re not going to wake up early to go to gym. But you feel restless all night and wake up early, anyway.
Day 9
You’re feeling pretty guilty about the chocolate dessert and all the carbs you loaded after that. You have rashly ordered a pasta for lunch, but it doesn’t taste so good when seasoned with guilt.
Day 10
You crawl back to the gym, struck with panic, after all those carbs. But your bad mood vanishes when the weighing scale shows that you have lost two kilos. Yayy, you feel motivated to go on forever on this regime now!
