In our (thankfully) abundant world, we seem to have a backwards train of thought when it comes to food and dieting.
Do you remember when you smoked and went through some terribly stressful event that you couldn't smoke through? What did you do as soon as it was over? Smoked. Why? You deserved it.
A well deserved bit of relaxation and relief... yes? Or...
A well deserved push of noxious fumes and toxic chemicals that stressed your body, strained your heart, and clogged up your lungs.
Now, why exactly did you deserve THAT?
We do the same things with food. We celebrate holidays, birthdays, events, special occasions, anniversaries, parties, friendships and a plethora of other things by gorging ourselves with foods that are leaving their marks on our hips, on our hearts, on our blood sugar, on our blood pressure, on our skin and hair, and everywhere else that a poor diet affects you.
Why? We deserve it. "I've been good all week - I deserve a piece of cake". Or...
"I've been good all week, I deserve to spike my blood sugar, suffer a blood sugar crash, loose my energy and fall asleep on the couch while feeling guilty for blowing everything I worked for all week."
Now - why do you deserve THAT!?
Every single person that comes here and struggles to quit smoking, beats the battle and moves on [b]deserves to be Happy, Healthy, and Strong![/b] Nothing less. Walk away from the ice cream, and all the health problems and heart ache that goes with it! Nobody deserves THAT.
