…because I like being in control more than I like M&M’s…

When you give in to a craving, how do you feel? If you’re like me, you probably feel pretty guilty. Well, I found a cure for guilt - just don’t do it in the first place. I know, I know – easier said than done but think about it this way… What do you want more – a body you love or a handful of M&M’s that will be gone in a few seconds? The M&M’s won’t make you feel good for more than what, 3-10 seconds, and the guilt will last for hooouuurrrs. So what is more appealing – a few seconds of pleasure and hours of pain – or a few minutes of pain and then a few hours of saying “yeah, I did it. I didn’t give in.” I know which I choose. Plus each time I make a good choice, I am strengthening my self control. I am building “muscle” so to speak - my control muscle. And that is a muscle I have a lot of desire to build. How about you? So my weekly tip for you – exercise a few minutes of control and get hours of “feel good” payback. You can do this.
