Candy, Guilt, Restriction: Breaking the Cycle this Halloween
Listen now
Description
​​​​​​​It's Halloween. There's a bucket of candy on your kitchen counter... And oops, you give in to a fun-sized Snickers or two (or three, but who's counting?). Suddenly, you feel a pang of guilt, like you've somehow let down the "diet gods." But you think, "No worries, I'll hit the reset button on Monday." And THAT's where the slide starts. Guilt sets in and sends you on a full-blown Halloween candy rampage. 'Cause, heck, you've already "ruined it," so why not go all in? Then what? It starts with more guilt, followed by restriction, then hunger, and suddenly—BOOM!—you're so far off the diet track that you're practically in another time zone. We've all been on that roller coaster ride, and I promise you, it's not one we're itching to get back on. So let's shake things up a bit. -- What if we don't treat candy like it’s some calorie boogeyman? -- What if we take the stance that, "SOME is better than NONE"? Yep. You heard me. Go ahead. EAT SOME CANDY. Plan for it, even. Get ready for that Reese's Peanut Butter Cup and savor it like it's a vintage wine you've been saving for decades. Why? Because embracing those tiny imperfections in life? That’s how you defuse the "gotta-be-perfect" time bomb. Because you'll feel in control, not like you're missing the party. Because it's not a detour; it's a strategy. "So what else's in the playbook, Adam?" I'll tell you... Haley and I have lined up some rock-solid tactics to get you through the candy-corn-laden minefield. And get this: These tips aren't just for October 31st—they're going to help you coast through the whole holiday season. * Is highly personal, daily coaching and accountability right for you? ➤ Schedule a free 1:1 discovery call with Founder and Chief Body Tutor, Adam Gilbert: https://www.mybodytutor.com/book-a-call/ FREE 7-Day Weight Loss Course If you can’t stick to a diet for more than a few weeks, if you feel stuck and frustrated...this course will teach you why diets fail, how to change your relationship with food, and what every diet you tried before was missing. ➤ Get instant access to this FREE course today: https://www.mybodytutor.com/7-days/
