“Moderation Sucks”and that is a direct quote I told a client just this week.
I do think moderation is a nice idea. It works with a lot of things, but have you noticed what it does when applied to cookies?
Shame bombs! Left and right. Watch out, your going down sister. Just because you ate more cookies than you thought you should.
Why set yourself up to fail. Why try and white-knuckle it through a situation when you could use that energy for something else?
Here’s the deal, and some people will think I am crazy for saying so, but I think moderation, when it comes to food and dieting, is what kept me overweight as long as it did.
I thought I “should” be able to do it and I couldn’t and I felt bad about myself because of that. I am smart, I am accomplished. Why can’t I do this thing?!
Well, I can, I did. I just didn’t do it the conventional way. I had to give up on the idea that I could moderate myself to a different body.
So I went a little crazy in service of myself and it worked. What if you could do that too?
What if you were willing to look and act like “one of those people” in order to have more fun, wear clothes that you love and feel good in, be who you’ve always been waiting to become?
It would be hard, sure, but you can do hard if you decide to. Just quit with the moderation already, it totally sucks.
Big love and a side of crazy,
