The First-Bite Rule

If, by any chance, you find yourself near a box of cookies or a jumbo bag of chips, and you’re unprepared to handle the situation, remember “the first bite rule.” If you have one bite, there will be another. And another. And another. Processed food is full of additives, it’s fatty and salty or fatty and sweet, and it’s made to twist your taste buds and twist your mind into thinking that you have to have the next bite and that you have to keep eating it. IT IS “ DESIGNED ” FOOD! FOOD THAT IS DESIGNED TO MAKE YOU EAT MORE AND MORE! DESIGNED IN THEIR LABS! DON’T TAKE THAT FIRST BITE. THINK OF YOUR WHOLE WEEK OF EFFORT. Leave that place right away or eat something healthy and forget to think about the treat in front of you. JUST SAY NO! If you take that first bite, salt cravings or sweet cravings will kick into high gear and you won’t be able to resist them. You will feel really great and proud of yourself if you resist! Ask yourself if it’s going to be worth the guilt you’ll feel after eating it? Chances are, it’s not, so DON’T TAKE THAT FIRST BITE!
