What’s the secret to breaking the cycle of giving in to cravings for junk food?
It’s simply a skill that you have to learn.
It isn’t that you weren’t born with self-discipline, or you just don’t have it in you to get the weight off and keep it off, it’s just that you haven’t been taught how.
You have to learn the skill of how to say no to cravings and stick to your plan even when temptations come knocking.
You have to get laser focused on the problem, where your weak moments are and why.
You have to pay attention to the thoughts you are thinking in that moment, the ones that tell you there isn’t enough time to pick something healthier, or that you’ve had a hard day and you deserve it, or that this is somehow a unique situation and we will start over tomorrow.
Those thoughts are all lies. There is always something you can do to make a better choice than you have in the past, always.
Will we slip up? Of course, we’re human, and some days are hard.
When we do slip up, it’s not what we ate that’s the problem, it’s what we do and say to ourselves afterwards that matters.
Gaining awareness of those thoughts that lead us astray, and the ones that hold us back after we slip, is the best use of your time in the beginning, not being so focused on food or trying to exercise your way out of bad eating habits.
When you can get control of what’s going on in your mind with regard to junk food, you will be able to unlock the hold that a craving has on you, and then you can break the cycle for good.
