How do you feel when you make a healthy food choice? I want you to really stop and think about this for a second. The times in your life when you've made the healthy choice, how does it feel immediately after you make that choice? Mentally, you feel like you're more positive and you feel good about yourself. Emotionally, you feel thrilled, you feel elated, you feel confident and motivated. Physically, you feel lighter, you feel vibrant, you feel alive. It's important to remember that because we live in a culture where we're constantly being conditioned to focus on the initial pleasure of the tasty food. But when you focus on the healthy choices that you've made in the past, there's a way deeper level of pleasure that comes with it. But you have to focus on it. You have to program yourself to stay focused on that pleasure so that it feels more real. And the more you make healthy choices, the more positive, pleasurable feelings that you get to experience.
