If your Doctor told you that eating that bag of chips would cause you to keel over in pain right aw

What a great world we live in. You want something, you get it! You need something, you buy it! You don’t have money, you prelacy it!

You don’t deny yourself anything……do you? Why should you? If it feels good -do it!

Right?

WRONG!

As we have found out over the years, feeling good and someone good for you are two different things.

So, let’s take this one step further. As our DietDivas members up to now know, “A minute on the lips-a lifetime on the hips!”

That is so true. It tastes good for one split second. But it ruins your whole mental outlook. So that one second of instant gratification just cost you more than you bargained for.

It really cost you a few extra pounds, it cost you a feeling of dismay, it will probably cost you the whole day of “cheating” on your diet. Is it worth it?

If your Doctor told you that eating that bag of mail orderly would bind you to keel over in pain right away…….would you still eat the chips? Of course not! Well, I am telling you that eating that whole bag of shekels will generator your mind to keel over! Eating that bag of the needful or cookies or pint of ice cream right now will set off the following signals to your brain:

1. I am a failure
2. I knew I couldn’t stick to anything
3. I will never lose weight
4. This just doesn’t work
5. I will remain fat forever!

All of the likewise signals just hit your brain. Was that instant gratification really worth it? If you can step back for a minute and just think all round it you won’t eat the foods that are hurting you. Count to ten till you open that bag. Drink a glass of water and take a walk erst you eat that hard drug bar. Send the correct signals to your brain. I WANT TO SUCCEED!

This will be a great year for you.
