Right Now I'm Eating my
Second Cinnamon Roll
My first cinnamon roll was breakfast, so
I guess this one is lunch. Earlier today
I had a handful of Nestle Crunch eggs. Most
people struggle at Christmas but for me
it's Easter time that gets my sweet tooth
going. They bring out the bags of colorful
egg shaped treats on February 15th, and
Easter's not until late April so we're talking
nearly two full months of making an effort
to avoid eating too many of those Nestle
Crunch eggs. Yesterday after I'd already
bought some cinnamon rolls, I was still
thinking of stopping at the mall for more.
Some days are just like that.
Does this make me bad? People look at me
and ask, "won't you get fat eating
like that?" or "You're lucky,
you can eat that stuff and not gain weight."
Sure, if I ate like this every day, I'd
gain weight, but I don't eat like this every
day - only once in awhile, in fact pretty
rarely. Whenever I do get "in the mood"
I'll buy far more treats than I'll actually
eat. It's been a very long time since I
ate nothing but sweets all day. It doesn't
mean anything, except perhaps I just need
a sweets day. I'm just doing what feels
natural to me, and it won't affect my weight
one bit.
I've been down this road before and I know
if I eat like a crazy person for a day or
two it won't matter in the greater scheme
of things, but if I start eating like this
on a regular basis, then I'll gain weight.
The non-dieting approach doesn't mean eating
everything in sight with wild abandon. It
mean making choices.
There is no Good or Bad
Food, only Good or Bad Habits
I don't subscribe to the good food/bad
food mentality. All food is good. Obviously
some foods are more healthful, some are
even fake (what is Velveta cheese anyway?),
but that doesn't make them bad. I'm not
a bad person because of what I eat or don't
eat.
Break the Habit of Labeling
Foods as Good or Bad
To break the good food/bad food habit,
and to stop scolding yourself like your
a naughty child, start by using basic EFT
on yourself and tackling the toughest issue,
your self esteem.
You deserve to be happy, and you deserve
to treat yourself. It's okay.
