Hi, I was reading a post concerning motivation earlier and it got me thinking about the consequences of eating food that can hurt us

And I was thinking of a way of demonstrating why it's less difficult to abstain a little now that to suffer the consequences later

So I closed my eyes to eat chocolate, it wasn't a cheat, it was 85% and my treat although not particularly self destructive etc, but I ate it with my eyes closed, it is surprisingly difficult to keep your eyes closed for that long, I felt for my cup of tea during the feast

It really brought home the importance of doing what we do and I recommend trying it next time you can't live without eating _________

Just a thought
 
Gee thanks for this Andy. lol. Now I've got a song on my mind which just won't go away!


When I was trying to cut out the wrong things from my diet I made a rule that I always had to sit at a table and take my time eating my meals. If I chose something 'wrong' I didn't enjoy it because I had longer to think about what I was doing, rather than just grabbing something on the run and not being fully aware of what I was eating.

I am sure I would get burnt with hot drinks if I closed my eyes and was nekkid. :eek: Whatever works for you though.......;)
