You long to eat what you WANT, when you WANT it, and how you WANT it. You have been programmed to believe that ACTING ON THOSE WANTS WILL GIVE YOU WHAT YOU NEED.
It might be helpful for you to take a moment to recall some of the things that have been produced in your life through giving in to the WANTS of your past.
- A bloated and cramping tummy
- The need to carry medication around with me constantly
- A feeling of dissatisfaction
- A feeling of elation and pure joy
- Feeling embarrassed and ashamed
- Feeling fat compared to the people around me
Have these results had a positive impact on your life? No. The opposite, actually.
How might these results have differed if you had exercised self-control? I wouldn't have felt like such an outcast. The way I ate and what I ate made me look like a picky fat person. I didn't like eating around other people but when my favourite foods were out I could t help but consume them - all of them - and quickly. It was so embarrassing. I probably would have lost weight and felt like I had control of my weight and my eating habits.
