Just One Chip, Cookie, Bite? Be real!

Ever try to have just one taste, one bite, one chip or one cookie? As soon as we do, we are doomed and we know it before we even go there, right?

So, what is the solution as we all know we actually do not want to even go there but something is pulling us there. It could be Grandma who is ever so convincing and laying on the guilt of how she slaved over the stove or worse, made them with all the love she has for us - OH MY goodness, how can we resist that? Even when we know it will make us feel YUCK not only from what they are made from with all the normally white sugar, white flour, white salt and other fortified, chemical and bleached ingredients and hormone injected dairy and eggs, but the GUILT we feel because we could not just have 1!

You know 1 would be actually not so bad for us. Not good, but not so bad. Our bodies are made to handle toxicity and you have to admit that they do a mighty fabulous job at handling all the toxicity we throw into and at it on a daily basis, week after week, month after month and year after year. Our bodies are amazing! Thank GOD for this temple and absolute magical body that heals itself, that rejuvenates even if we do not provide it with the best.

Now, back to what to do.

So imagine a scenario and role play this with a friend who gets it OK, not someone who is not of like mindset and will poo poo this entire thing. THIS WORKS. Imagine your most difficult to resist situation, like your absolute favorite food that you know is toxic to your system - meaning it makes you feel bad, gives your symptoms of toxicity and is just not good for you to have, especially in excess. Now, imagine your most irresistible person offering that food to you right now in the most convincing and special way. And you say something like this: "....name of person...I so appreciate/adore/love that you did, made, bought, are giving this to/for me. And I thank you so very much. BUT, I no longer eat this as part of my chosen lifestyle and even though your gift/(or by name of what it is like- cookies)has brought me so much pleasure and I know how much love/effort/thoughtfulness, etc you put into making/doing this for me, it will support my health goals/mission/promise to myself, if it would be OK with you if I shared this/these with someone who could also appreciate your thoughtfulness, without me eating them. Would this be OK with you as it would support me and I know your intention is to really show me you care/love me/are thinking of me?

Is it difficult? When you make it difficult it is. When you practice it, it becomes effortless and the other person feels appreciated, heard and loved because you received their gift, and understood their meaning of gifting it to you regardless if you eat it. They just want to be heard, felt and appreciated for their gifting to you.

I hope this supports your goals to include only the healthiest supportive energy rich foods in your body.
