I watched a substance abuse seminar last night. They mainly talked about quitting cigarettes. But...There 'tool' was so good, that I immediately revised it to be used here. The tool is a ticket (3x5 card with writing on it) (Carry your ticket with you wherever you go)
This 'ticket' allows you to eat and accept responsibilty for what you've eaten. The trick is that each time you are tempted...you take out the card and you must read it first.
It says:
I like _(name of food)___. I can eat it if I want. I am accepting the responsibility and the consequences that my decision will bring. It is my decision to jeopardize my plan to get healthy and fight against depression, self-esteem, diabetes, heart disease, longer life and whatever else obesity brings. I realize and accept the fact that this food might bring on cravings for other non-legal foods, add inches and weight and lead me away from my new life-style. But it is my decision.
At this time, you've given yourself permission to eat it. It is your choice. They said that 50% of the people who do this will decline and choose to stay on plan. I've already made my card and although I don't know if I will have to use it, it is there in case I need it.
I know that I am not immune to food. It is always there and always tempting me. I can and will use any 'tool' that I can to keep the ~fat woman~ from ever returning.
