How To Resist The Temptation of Eating Sweets

INSTANT GRATIFICATION Instant Regret

"There is a time for treats and rewards, but to be successful we need to practice breaking the habit of giving into temptation."

We've all lived the following moment:  You see a donut in the box.  You think to yourself, I'm not going to eat that donut because I know it's not good for me and it goes against my goals.

And then we start start bargaining with ourselves.  "What's the big deal? It's one donut. It's not going to kill me.  I'll work out a little harder or skip lunch."

Before we know it, we've eaten that donut (or two) and for a moment we're rewarded with the taste of that sweet donut.  We all know what comes next.  Almost immediately.  We feel the regret of not doing what we wanted to do.  The regret of giving in to temptation. It's not a good feeling.

We'll never get away from temptation.  Get used to it.  You can be bigger than temptation though.  Visualize your goals in that moment.  Feel powerful saying "NO" to things that will derail you from your progress. There is a time for treats and rewards, but to be successful we need to practice breaking the habit of giving into temptation. 

I promise, once you break the habit of giving in to temptation, the reward of discipline and your results will be sweeter than that donut. 

You CAN do this.
