In the article comments, a reader named Kimberly asked me an intriguing question:
"How do you handle the SITUATION if you, yourself, are the one buying the junk FOOD & you yourself are the one self-sabotaging your own success?"
Here was my response and I pray that it inspires you to take action today:
Kimberly – my response is "follow the fear."
Do you know how a child might be scared to enter a dark
room because they believe a "Boogie Man" lives in the closet or under the bed and is going to get them?
The only way to dispel that child’s fear is to expose those dark places to the light so they can see that the "Boogie Man" was only in their imagination, not real.
So, what do you fear will happen if you didn't buy junk food and bought something healthier instead? That fear is like your "Boogie Man!"
There's only one way to know the truth…confront it. There is an old saying, "You cannot conquer what you will not
confront."
Don't buy the junk food and replace it with healthier choices. See what fears come up. If you expose the fear, then you can take steps to address it as a grown-up.
I'd
love to hear what you find out from this experiment."
