Weight Loss and motivation

"There is no food that will taste as good as your weight loss feels"

I would like to take credit for that line but I lifted off of someone else....but I do like what this points out....Food is an IMMEDIATE gratification that perhaps gives us some sort of instantaneous "high" but then we tend to self-loathe as we gain weight and realize that the instant gratification is not worth the long-term consequences.

When you lose weight, you become healthier, higher self-confidence and self-esteem, look younger, fit into your sexy clothes again and you feel more energy...all of these feel GREAT and in fact MUCH better than the immediate "rush" we get from a food source.

Before ingesting a food source that you know will derail your efforts, think about the line above and repeat to yourself that statement...that food source does not taste nearly as good as the weight loss will feel.
