How to stop lying to yourself


We all do this. We justify, "it's the weekend so what I eat doesn't count." Really? I wish that were the case. I'm not saying to not have fun every once and a while and enjoy some highly caloric tasty food, but as long as we aren't in denial about it.

But it's not just happening on the weekend. Any special occasion fits the bill. And the more we justify to ourselves, the more we look for reasons to say today is a special occasion too because we are celebrating XYZ.

I found a really good article that talks about this "Weekend Warrior" mindset and 3 other common excuses we feed ourselves.

The article's solution is some pricey diet program. I'm not a fan of diets. My solution is Tip # 10 in my upcoming book, Stop Overeating Today! Mine won't cost you $100+. And it will work for you every day of your life. It will show you how to catch a lie you are believing, and how to untwist it into the truth. Then, it shows you that the truth ain't that bad because it helps you get what you really want.

I'll admit, sometimes I really do want the doughnut. I'm not in denial about that.
