We are always doing thinks that are either getting us closer to our goals or further away from our goals. Eating too much carbs is getting us away from our goals. We need something that will remind us that we are moving further away from our goals. Get a red marker. On the palm of your dominant hand draw a big red circle. When you see that red circle it means “Stop!” This is what I say to myself “ Juan, this is the kind of thinking that made me fat, what are you thinking or are you!” If it sounds kind of harsh it is, I am fighting for my life. Try bandages on your finger tips if you like for an even strong reminder throughout the day( If someone asks you about the bandages just tell them you smashed you hand). When you are at McDonald’s getting your burger without the bun and you are temped to eat that apple pie you bought see the red dot or bandages and mentality think “stop!” Say, “(your name) this is the kind of thinking that made me fat, what are you thinking or are you!’ then open the window and throw it out hopefully it won’t go into the next car by you. Stopping yourself gets you off automatic pilot. It helps you make conscious choices, choices that are consistent with your goals. It even works with other habits you want to change like smoking, spending too much, etc. Eating too much carbs is a habit too, just like smoking, overspending, underearning. Take weight loss, smoking, underearning any bad habits you have very seriously because literally you are fighting for your life! More to come…………..
