I am sure everyone feels bad sometimes for something they have eaten, whether it was from giving in to the chocolate craving or wolfing down that burger and fries. Really though, there is no need to feel guilty.We have so many things to worry about these days, with families all working such long hours and the cost of living being so expensive. The last thing we want to feel is guilt when we do slip up.
I think the guilt that we feel is actually much worse than the naughty meal itself!
When we put ourselves on strict diets or restrict certain foods we are more inclined to slip up because we know we can’t have it, so we want it! It is better to allow yourself a little something here and there and you will find yourself less likely to gorge yourself on a whole box of lindt balls (although have you tried the salted caramel flavour? OMG!)
Next time you slip up or give in to something, just let it be. Enjoy it and make a conscious decision to try to make the right choices next time… Once you have eaten it, it is gone… No need to eat yourself up (pardon the pun) with guilt about it.
When we start making conscious choices and fill our plates with more healthier options, slowly over time those cravings for ‘bad’ foods disappear because you are getting everything you need from the nourishing, healthy food choices you are making.
Food is meant to be fun and pleasurable. It is the fuel to replenish our bodies so give it what it needs… and cut yourself some slack for not being perfect all the time.
