I just ate a donut. Why? Because it was there.
If there was a magical potion or spell to ban out temptation, I'd buy it to the price of my soul.
But there isn't.
How to handle sweet temptations?
I give myself permission to be weak a couple of times per week. I live by the yin-yang philosophy where I strive for balance.
A diet of only Herbalife and water would make me very unhappy, even though my body would prefer to only receive pure vitamins and minerals.
So every time I sin, I make a promise to myself: to drink more green tea or Herbalife thermojetics, and a couple of glasses water extra that day. Furthermore I might change my dinner plans as well.
Yesterday a friend of mine had something to celebrate, and he treated me on fried cheese sticks and chicken nuggets. This was a t four pm in the afternoon.
Well, I indulged in those fried lovely things, but replaced dinner with my Herbalife Vanilla shake and lots of water yesterday evening.
Today, I woke up feeling great. Physically and mentally. Because it gives me such pride to know that I don't HAVE to eat so much all of the time.
So just now I had a donut, but then I'll replace my lunch with the shake. My breakfast was a big mug of the Herbalife Thermojetics. If you look at the complete picture of what I have allowed into my body the past 24 hours, overall, it's okay. Of course it's not ideal, but it's okay.
Promise me that you will be kind to yourself if you decide to go on a diet. The more you beat yourself up when you sin, the more you will need comfort food, the more weight you will gain because you feel guilty that you once more lied to yourself and broke the promise to yourself to lose weight.
