Whole Life Challengers and non-WLCer’s: THE WORST IT WILL EVER FEEL by Michael Stanwyck
You’re probably used to the promises you make to yourself by now. You look at your life, your health, heck, the food you eat, and you promise yourself that you’re not going to do that anymore. The big problem is that that is so tempting. Even if you don’t know why, that sucks you in and and almost makes the choice for you. And mostly it’s because avoiding that feels strangely painful.
Consider this. The worst you’re ever going to feel about that is the moment you walk away. It’s never going to feel worse than the moment when you say “no” and pull yourself free of the gravitational pull of the double caramel truffle fudge brownie. It only takes a second – you only have to miss the hook by an inch. From that point on, it only gets better. It never feels worse. You know yourself as stronger.
Then consider what happens if you don’t walk away. Consider the best you’re ever going to feel about it is the moment you put it in your mouth. You’re never going to feel nearly as good about it as the moment you ate it. And it only gets worse from there. And the time after the indulgence is infinitely longer than the moment of indulgence.
Am I saying don’t enjoy indulge? Not at all. And I’m definitely not saying you should make yourself feel guilty. But if you consider the choice from the standpoint of “is this one I’ll be happy with after the fact?” you’ll make much better choices. Most of the time, if you’re honest with yourself, the answer is no. Walk away. Walk away and save it for one you want to remember.
