How To Eat A Healthy Diet When You Don't Want To
Jeannie Crabtree
For some people it is really hard to give up the junk food
and sweets and eat a better, more nutritious diet. So let's
use the example of eating the 5 to 9 fruits and vegetables
we need daily.
There are ways to work with your mind so that it becomes
much easier and more enjoyable to eat all those servings of
vegetables we need each day.
Did you know that you think in pictures?
You are motivated by the things that you want to move away
from that might cause emotions you don't want such as pain,
grief, anger etc. Examples: Ill health, overweight, not
being able to join your family due to sickness is certainly
things you want to move away from.
You are also motivated by the things you want to move
towards. Emotions that would go with this are feeling happy,
satisfied, loved, forgiven, respected, etc.
Move away from or move towards. These two ways you are
motivated are the key to help you get past your dislike of
vegetables and fruit if that is the problem .
Decide which type you are. Which are you most motivated by?
Do you put moving away foremost in your mind or moving
toward?
Ready to Start? Grab some vegetables. Look at them, feel
them taste them, Chew on them. Snap them, break them up and
hear the crunchiness. Involve as many of your senses as you
can.
While doing that, do one of two things:
If motivated by what you are moving away from:
Paint the picture of what you are leaving behind. Accentuate
the problems. Make them look really big and bad in your
picture. Show your self what the big bad picture would be
like a year from now or 5 years from now if you continued
eating your bad diet. Put a lot of feeling into this.
If motivated by what you are moving towards:
Paint a big bright picture of what you will look like and
feel like when you have better health. Think about who you
love, who loves you and what you want to do and could do
when you have good health.
Maybe you are not sure where you fit in to this process.
Then play both pictures for yourself. Really put some
pictures in your head. Use plenty of color. Turn the sound
up.
Now which did you feel more motivated to eat the vegetables
you need?
Play this picture over and over again as you eat the right
foods, especially your vegetables and this will help you
stay on track for better food choices.
