"I can't take one more bite."
"I shouldn't eat anymore."
"I should stop."
...and then I eat one more bite.
...and then another.
..."Well, I might as well finish it."
That was my internal voice.
Let's say you've decided you're going to have one bite of the cake. Cool, you know what you're going to do and I'm not a believer in never eating something like that. Enjoy a bit of cake! But, one bite leads to another. Then another. Then 800 calories later you feel like sh*t! Ask me how I know this.
We can learn to get conscious of the moment right after the good taste has passed when we think to ourselves, "I should stop." BAM!!! That's the moment to get conscious! BAM!!! We can learn to recognize that internal voice and ASSAULT your food...or should I say SALT your food.
At that moment of willpower, recognize it! Leverage it! Grab a salt shaker and coat the food in salt. I mean so much so that it looks like the top of the Hymilian mountains! At that point, you can't eat it any longer and you've leveraged a moment in time to your advantage. Yes!
Here's the best part...you got stronger! I'm not talking about your physical muscles. I'm talking about your mental muscle! You've defeated that moment...you've won that battle in the war and you get to feel like a warrior.
Now, my warrior friend- celebrate that victory!
