When you&#8217;re doing a diet, it&#8217;s easy to get in the mindset of &#8220;I can&#8217;t have this or that&#8221;, and I think that can be detrimental, and make you want it more. The reality is, I can have anything I want to have. Nothing and no one can stop me, except for my own choice. I choose to not eat the things that I feel are not in line with my desires, even if I know that those things taste good. I could choose to have them at any time I want, but then I would also be choosing not to achieve longer term goals. It is a question of what I truly want, not of what I am allowed.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it&#8217;s not really a new concept to me, but it&#8217;s good to remind one&#8217;s self now and again.<\/p>\n<p>See you on 13!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was the 2nd time I&#8217;ve had to say no to those delicious bagels.
