Why do you do this to yourself?

So I opened the fridge there last night only
to find a big shiny green object in there.
My face dropped and heart sunk. The blood sunk a
away from my face.
Dark chocolate.
My kryptonite.
I have no will power when it comes to this.
In past instances I would have overridden the
sweats, circling of the fridge and the gremlin voice
and demolished the entire bar.
But not today. I had enough will power in reserve.
2 squares. Job done.
And that was that.
How many times have you circled the kitchen
cupboards like a vulture around a desert carcass?
But can I ask you this?
Why are you even testing your willpower?
In this case my lovely wife thought I might like some
and bought me a treat.
But I knew that if I bought it myself then that would
have been that.
“Hand in the cookie jar” time.
WHY ARE YOU EVEN TESTING YOUR MOTIVATION
BY BRINGING IT INTO THE HOME?
If it is there you WILL eat it. No doubt about it.
So when punish yourself with a visit to the gym for
eating too much junk. Stop.
Ask yourself why this is happening.
One of the main reasons is that you can’t stop buying
the stuff.
Stop buying it and it will be easy to handle.
Yours in health

p.s. Tomorrow I will outline another reason why
you may find it hard to keep out of the treat
cupboard and for some this is not what you may think…
