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.”
