Learn
To Say "No"!
The next
time you are faced with a trigger food and find yourself
feeling sorry for yourself, stop! Don't exhaust yourself by
fighting imaginary enemies. Pull yourself together and make
your choice. Decide whether you are going to walk away or
exercise your option to eat that food - with full knowledge
that if you eat it you'll have to wear
it.
Whatever
your choice, take responsibility for it and don't blame the
diet, or the food, or the argument you had twenty minutes
before. Don't complain about your weight and bore everyone
with talk of how you're going to go on a
diet.
Being
thin is not a birthright. Neither is being able to have
anything you want anytime you want. If you want to be thin,
you must occasionally say no. And if you are going to say no
you have to do it of your own free will. Such self-chosen
avoidance isn't deprivation, it's liberation. And with each
"No, thank you" you will gain a little more control,
self-reliance, and self-esteem.
