Feeling guilty about what you eat will make you gain weight. Guilt = Weight Gain. Plain and simple.
Research found that those who owned (& enjoyed) their food decisions lost more weight than those who beat themselves up over it.
BOTTOM LINE:
>>>We need to ditch the guilt & CELEBRATE our food DECISIONS.<<<
But the problem is: Many. times. we. aren’t. making. a. decision. We start shoveling food in our mouth…BEFORE WE EVEN STOP TO REALLY DECIDE. Here’s the fix…
3 steps to making a food DECISION:
1. Slow down, breathe.
Let your emotion level settle. Just 30-seconds of taking deep breaths can get you there.
2. Ask yourself: What do I really want??
Pro-tip: Connect with what would taste good now AND make you happy later.
3. CELEBRATE your decision.
ENJOY your food, no matter how healthy or not. Celebrate because YOU were in charge. You decided. YOU WERE THE BOSS.
When you use these 3 steps to make & celebrate a food decision – without guilt – the chances of you losing weight & keeping it off are higher. Plus…you will have more JOY. And isn’t that what THIS WHOLE THING (a.k.a. life) is ultimately about. xoxox
