I honestly don’t have trouble eating the right food. I love healthy great tasting food. I think what most have described is the cravings that hit when we try to deny ourselves too much….or when boredom or stress sets in. Food notoriously comforts us. I think the key is to not be hungry and to allow ourselves small amounts of what we love so we don’t go crazy and eat it until we finally get out fill.

I’ve started baking with almond flour, which cuts down the carb load GREATLY, and lets me eat a cookie without all the downside of carbs, calories and sugar. The almond flour is a pure protein, and the treats are sweetened with agave, so there’s no spike in blood sugar either. I can eat a cookie or two as a before-run snack, and actually feel fueled instead of bonking or feeling like I need to work it off.

Likewise. I eat healthy and then bam! I let my sweet tooth carry over into the next day AND the next. I am right there with you:)

I usually am very conscious of what I eat, and do very well up until the marathon. Then I celebrate ( sometimes for the rest of the year). Now I am paying the penalties of slow times and tight pants.

Love this post! I eat healthy 98% of the time, but that 2% absolutely kills me. I love your questions for pre-eating. We work so hard to stay in shape, I’m not ready to let a cookie/brownie/cake etc eating sesh derail my hard work
