Читать книгу The 7-Day GL Diet: Glycaemic Loading for Easy Weight Loss - Nigel Denby - Страница 44

One of the negative thoughts we’ve just talked about is the complacency thought – ‘One biscuit won’t hurt’. Well, no, in the grand scheme of things one biscuit won’t mean you regain all the weight you’ve lost. It won’t mean you suddenly increase your risk of heart disease or diabetes. One biscuit is not an international disaster! But, when you are trying to build a new relationship with food, one biscuit can lead to two, to three and to a whole packet. You can’t remove all temptation from every aspect of life – Adam and Eve taught us that – but if you are aware that temptation will pass your door, you can be prepared.

Many of our Diet Freedom Fighters have told us that having some ‘Temptation Tamers’ ready for when the biscuits appear in the office or the pudding menu comes round at the restaurant are really helpful at making them stop, pause and make an informed choice about whether they want to give in to temptation or not. Have a look at this small selection. If any of them strike a chord with you, write them down and stick them on the fridge door, or put them in your purse or wallet – keep them somewhere handy for when temptation comes knocking.

  ‘Just one will be the tip of the iceberg.’

  ‘Bad for me, bad for my bum.’

  ‘Junk-food junkie or health-food hero?’

  ‘One small step for man, a giant step towards my Diet Freedom.’

  ‘How long will that make me feel good for?’

  ‘No thanks, that’s what I used to do.’

  ‘Junk food = lousy mood.’

  ‘One biscuit is too many, a packet is never enough.’
