After over a 2 and a half years of dieting, training, and constant sacrifice I finally reached my ideal weight. However, I still felt like a prisoner to my food addiction.
They say a big reason why alcohol is so hard to quit is because unlike other drugs it’s socially acceptable and is going to be in your face for the rest of your life. I was having the same experience, but with soda. I was a huge Cola Junkie so retraining my mind and body not to crave it anymore was by far the hardest thing I had to do.
After I lost all the weight, every time I saw Soda I would become instantly uncomfortable; like it was somehow still so much stronger and bigger than my will power.
I work for a motivational video app company so I literally spend half my day listening to motivational videos. One day this video really got to me, I said F*** my fear. I got a can of coke and drank it. It honestly felt amazing and was just as good as I remembered it.
I got scared that I’d start craving it again, however, days past.
Then weeks.
Then a month.
Nothing.
A small craving here or there, but after two years, my body became so used to it’s new way of living my old addiction didn't phase me anymore. I didn’t go on a diet for those two years, but I discovered a new way to eat that I didn’t know I could love. if you rely on diets for a permanent solution to your weight you will be on and off diets forever. Lifestyle design is essential.
