ALWAYS BE
STOCKED
Stock up on food items that you can keep in your overstock
cabinet. A few examples include natural applesauce,
low fat mayonnaise, tuna fish, pasta, tomato sauce,
oatmeal, protein powder, peanut butter, and salad
dressing.
ASSOCIATE WITH THE PLEASURE OF EATING
Don’t focus on the pain of preparing a healthy
meal, rather focus on how the quality of the meal
will positively affect your physical and mental energy
levels.
ASSOCIATE WITH
THE DISPLEASURE OF CHEATING
People naturally avoid situations that are painful
and do things they find pleasure in. During cheat
meals people usually remember the sugar high and forget
the sugar low. If you associate junk food with the
immediate pleasure, it will be hard to resist. Instead
travel into the future and picture how disgusting
it’ll feel to wake up bloated, tired and lethargic.
This is how most people feel in the morning after
eating junk food at night.
ASSOCIATE WITH
THE PLEASURE OF EXERCISING
When you are too tired to exercise, focus on how good
you will feel after exercising. Don’t focus
on the pain of the exercising or the pain of getting
off the couch. Instead, place your attention on obtaining
the pleasurable “runners high” that you
get from working out.
DON'T FOCUS ON WHAT YOU DON’T WANT
When most people look in a mirror, they usually focus
on what they don’t like about themselves. The
problem is whatever you focus on in life will remain
a reality in your awareness. If you focus on body
fat, body fat will continue to manifest itself. “A
watched pot never boils.”
