How can I ever hope to achieve my goal when I haven't yet realised;
FOOD IS NOT PLEASURE, FOOD IS FUEL.
I am changing my mindset. I'm done with the whole cycle of dieting and bingeing over and over again. I am seriously sick of this and I am disgusted with myself.
I have gotten so far so quickly and as soon as I encounter a plateu, that scientifically do happen and they happen for a reason, I just give up and gain it all back. I have already gained around a kilogram back and I don't want to gain a single gram more.
If there's anything to blame, it's my childhood and upbringing and allowing myself to have these bad habits and continue them.
I will not continue these habits.
I will not allow myself to continue these bad habits.
I will strive to become a better, more controlled person.
Food is not pleasure, it is fuel.
Food is not pleasure, it is fuel.
Food is not pleasure, it is fuel.
Fuel is eaten when actually hungry. Fuel is *not* eaten when a person is bored, stressed, emotional or any other reason such as 'I deserve this because I did x' or 'it's a special occassion'.
The only occassion that is special will be when you lose the weight you wish to lose.
Then, and only then, you may even consider treating yourself.
FOOD IS NOT PLEASURE, FOOD IS FUEL.
Take-out is no exception to this. Take-out is food that you cannot accurately measure the calories of. Therefore, take-out, whether it be Chinese, Indian,Peri-Peri chicken, or whatever else, is food eaten for pleasure.
FOOD IS NOT PLEASURE, FOOD IS FUEL.
Sugar in candy bars, wafers, sweet fizzy drinks, chocolate that is less than 85% cacao and such is food eaten for a dopamine hit. Sugar is food that has been scientifically proven to be more addictive than cocaine. Food that you are addicted to will make you gain weight.
Sugar is a type of food that is eaten for pleasure.
FOOD IS NOT PLEASURE, FOOD IS FUEL.
I will assert this and I will say this now. I will not give up and I will fight every day to wake up to a lower weight and lower percentage of fat on my body.
I just need to realise and beat it into my brain;
Food is not pleasure. It may have been in the past, but it is not anymore. I cannot let texture and taste and pathetic dopamine release affect me.
I am better than the foods that trigger a brain response.
I do not need foods that are manufactured to trigger a brain response.
I am not an animal to consume such things unknowingly.
Food is, and only ever will be fuel.
