One of the most frustrating things about having a food addiction is never seeming to get what you want out of life. Too much emphasis on food and too little emphasis on you can create a vicious cycle.
Too much nothing, as the Peter, Paul & Mary song referred to it, can really mess with your head. It’s hard to get what you want if you don’t know what you want or how to get it.
Getting over a food addiction or losing weight can be a goal, but it doesn’t have to consume all your energy. And it doesn’t deserve to be your only goal.
If you want to overcome a food addiction, you have to have something that is important enough to you to choose it over your panic and helplessness when the food addiction threatens to sabotage your best efforts.
Emotional eating and food addictions are default behaviors we engage in when stress levels increase to the point that we don’t know what else to do but eat. At those times, no other choice matters.
To ensure our success, we need a plan of action that is already in place so that we can see that we have other choices and we know what those choices are in advance. Goals are the first step in that plan.
If you write down your goals and have a written plan to achieve them, then you are in good shape. However, if you are in the majority, you probably live day to day, without any real plan for getting the things you want out of life.
Most parents don’t teach their children about goal-setting and achievement strategies because they never learned it themselves. That can make for a very stressful lifestyle.
But fear not! Here is something that can really help you get your goals straight, and organize your life for success. It’s one of the best things I’ve found to simplify your life.
You learn how to focus on what you truly want to achieve, once you figure out what that is. And it teaches you how to figure it out.
I know from personal experience that most food addicts and emotional eaters have a problem with goal strategies. You have to set a goal before you can put a plan together. And you have to have a plan to reach your goals.
You just have to know how to set goals and achieve them, and you have to know what they mean to you in terms of priority. Not so easy for most people.
There are all kinds of successes, but they happen in stages, not all at once. Everything has its season. Only when the proper steps are taken in the proper order will success arrive at your doorstep.
So here’s something that will make you put that candy or cake or ice cream or red hot Cheetos back where you got them and take a break from your food addiction. This one’s for you.
