  • When To Abstain Or Moderate/Part 29

    If you are an ABSTAINER, when might you choose to MODERATE:

    • holidays?
  • birthdays?
  • special occasions?
  • when dining out?

    • And, what thoughts resonate with you?

    • "I can savor this without urgency to have more faster."
  • "I'm noticing when I've had enough."
  • "I'm going to notice if I'm thinking 'I haven't had enough', or, 'I need more,' or 'I still feel deprived'."
  • "I'm not willing to say 'f*** it' and binge on this."
  • "Am I enjoying the moderating, or am I missing my abstaining, or some of both?"

    • If you are a MODERATOR, when might you choose to ABSTAIN:

    • for health reasons?
  • to reach your goals?
  • for Lent?
  • when the food isn't really worth it?

    • And, what thoughts resonate with you?

    • "I've chosen to abstain, and I like my reasons."
  • "I'm on a temporary break."
  • "Now that my favorite indulgence is not an option, what am I noticing that is better without it?"

    • As an ABSTAINER, how do you want to be FEELING when you moderate?

    • calm
  • patient
  • curious
  • present/mindful

    • As a MODERATOR, how do you want to be FEELING when you abstain?

  • Moderate This/Part 28

    You might be a MODERATOR if you notice that you:

    • find it too restrictive to "stay away from" certain foods/drinks ALL THE TIME.
  • prefer an "occasional indulgence" because it "heightens the pleasure" and "strengthens your resolve".
  • hear NO and just want more.
  • find "denying" yourself just makes you want it.
  • become very preoccupied with food or drink when you don't ever have it.
  • can have just one square of chocolate or one glass of wine.
  • notice that the first bite tastes the best, and your pleasure gradually drops.
  • don't finish the dessert or the drink once you've "had enough".
  • have something and want it LESS.

  • Abstainers and Moderators/Part 27

    According to author Gretchen Rubin in Better Than Before:

    “I find it far easier to give up something altogether than to indulge moderately. And this distinction has profound implications for habits.”

    You might be an ABSTAINER if you notice that you:

    • do better when you follow "all or nothing" habits.
  • find it easier to have ZERO sugar, flour, junk food, wine, than SOME.
  • find moderating how much you have feels difficult.
  • find having none feels easier to manage.
  • prefer having fewer decisions to make.
  • have more mental energy when you decide to have none.
  • find NEVER so much easier than SOMETIMES.
  • think it's easier to say NO to something once, than over and over.
  • prefer to go "cold turkey".
  • have a spike in pleasure with the "first bite" and want more and more.
  • have something and want it MORE.

  • Hungers Vs. Cravings/Part 26

    PHYSICAL HUNGER is your BODY telling you through sensations IN YOUR STOMACH that you need food.

    Consider these questions:

    • Does something “healthy” sound satisfying?
  • Do you feel the sensations in your stomach?
  • When was the last time you KNOW with 100% certainty that you experienced physical hunger?

    • EMOTIONAL HUNGER is your BRAIN wanting to BUFFER (numb, resist, or avoid) a

    negative EMOTION you are feeling as a VIBRATION in your body.

    Consider these questions:

    • Do you want to eat junk food?
  • Are you escaping negative emotions?
  • Are you shifting the focus off your emotions by giving your body something else to "digest"?

    • CRAVINGS are your BRAIN telling you that it wants more of a concentrated pleasure:

    • sugar
  • alcohol
  • shopping
  • social media
  • Netflix
  • checking texts/emails

    • If you are "taking a break" from a concentrated pleasure, you will still have the cravings until your brain gets used to not having the pleasure.

    When does your  BRAIN throw CRAVINGS your way:

    • after lunch or dinner?
  • when you've been drinking more than usual?
  • when you've had sugar?
  • late at night?
  • when you’re tired/exhausted/burned out/stressed?

  • Why You Self-Sabotage /Part 23

    There’s a huge difference between self-sabotaging and self-supporting while you’re stopping a crappy habit. 

    Consider these questions:

    • When you self-sabotage, are you resisting giving up the habit - or, are you resisting the circumstances you’re in?
  • What circumstances caused you to pick the habit you want to stop. Are you:
    • Overweight?
  • Unhealthy?
  • In debt?
  • Out of shape?
  • Exhausted/depleted/burned out?
  • What are your thoughts about these circumstances?
  • What are your feelings about these circumstances?
  • When you feel these feelings, do you self-sabotage or do you self-support?
