Look at that area on you that you hate to even preview in a mirror. For me, it is my belly. I noticed recently that the mirrors in my house are all from the chest up. Coincidence? I hate the look of my belly and when I walk by a full body mirror in a clothing store I look the other direction to keep me from seeing this area that drives me nuts. I can be so unhappy with a part of my body and TRUELY hate it and then I realized... It is my fault. My belly has not always looked like this. I have created this monster around my midsection.
Decisions like chips, cheesecake, immobility... Because the truth of the matter is that my belly fat doesn't grow there by itself it is created by the poor decisions I have made and will continue to make. So look at that area. Take a good look. A nice long mental picture. When you decide to order the culprits or indulge just remember what that led to.
I am also not saying to completely avoid it either. When you do that you can create a craving that no matter what you eat you are not satisfied because you have not had a chance to indulge that craving. There needs to be a defined balance between between eating it as a treat and an emotional indulgence. You've been working out, making good choices and are seeing results then when the time comes for you to have a piece, slice or sip then it is going to be for the right reason. But to make it a reward would not be a good thing. The reward is seeing the pounds do what you want, seeing the muscle or inches be in your control.
So, look at that area and when it is time to make a choice remember that the decision you make is yours and the consequences will be yours as well.
