Found an article for when people say they cant give up a certain food:
I’ve written a little bit about this before but one of the biggest things that I tell myself is that I’m not being deprived of anything. I’m not being punished. And there aren’t foods that I can’t have. I’ve practiced flipping things around in my mind so that I think about what eating the food would be TAKING FROM ME. Fatty, deep fried, sugary and ooey gooey things deprived me of my self esteem. That food took away clothing choices when I went shopping. That food made me insecure while being romantic with my husband. That food made me bloated and puffy and made me appear ten years older.That food deprived me of enjoying myself at the beach or the pool with my kids. It was the food that was depriving me of my health.
Now that I exercise and eat right on a daily basis not only can I go into my closet and pick out anything that I feel like wearing, I have the energy, the confidence and the motivation to get out there and DO things I never would have considered five years ago. And even more importantly, I have my health back. Just a few short years ago I was placed on all types of mood enhancing drugs, countless meds for high blood pressure and everything and anything I could take to get to sleep. But since I’ve modified my lifestyle I have been taken off of these drugs and have added ten years to my life. I am about to turn forty but my health and appearance are IMPROVING! I sleep like a baby, any signs of anxiety and depression are gone and BP and heartrate are better now than they were when I was 18.
So the next time you feel like making the right food choice is depriving you of something you really enjoy stop and think about what that food is taking away from you!
