GOOD MORNING TEAM FIRESHARK!
Some inspiration for your day:
Absolutely true!
When I started the plan (during the 8-week black hole of going nowhere fast), I would buy myself chocolate bars. First it was 6-packs of little kinder chocolate bars (because I had a serious kinder addiction before I started this :O), and then it was 4-packs of weight-watchers crispy chocolate bars. I told myself "It's just a little treat to help me get through the diet, I'll only have one a day."
WRONG
The inevitable happened, and I ate the whole pack in one (or two at a push) days. Needless to say, the scales were not impressed by my actions.
Until one day, I heard someone say a phrase that's made a big difference to my diet ever since - "Why set yourself up to fail?"
Good question.
Now, every time I walk past the dreaded poundland (where I used to get a lot of my junk food before), I force myself to walk by it without going in, and I say to myself "Why set yourself up to fail?"
Having it in the house was just too much temptation. Why buy myself chocolate to 'just have one a day', when I know that's not what's going to happen, and even if that was what was going to happen, its still a cheat that can pop you right out of ketosis (the worst kind of cheat!)
So why set yourself up to fail? Don't buy it in the first place, then you won't eat it and regret it! It's much easier to use your will power to walk past a shop for 10 seconds, than it is to resist something naughty in your cupboard for days on end.
