Tempted With Food – Learn To Just Say “No”!

The next time you encounter a trigger food and then find yourself feeling sorry for yourself, stop right there! Stop exhausting yourself by fighting invisible enemies. Just pull yourself together and make your food choice. Alway decide whether you are going to walk away or stay to eat that food – with full awareness that if you eat that food, you’ll have to wear it later.

Regardless of your choice, take responsibility and ownership for it and don’t blame the food, or the diet, or the argument you had 20 minutes before. Don’t grumble about your weight and bore everyone around you with talk of how you’re going on a diet.

Being slim is not a birthright. Neither is being able to eat anything you want anytime you want too. If your goal is to be thin, you must occasionally just say no. And if you are going to say no then you have to do it of with own free will. Such self-chosen avoidance is not deprivation, it’s liberation. And with each time you say “No, thank you” you will gain a bit more control, self-esteem and self-reliance.
