How many times have you wanted something so bad it had to be that instant? Once that instant passes and you have time to think about what it is you REALLY wanted and the feeling of lust blows away just as fast as it hit you. Here is a little trick to help change your mindset on what it is that will keep that feeling with you for as long as you want it.
Put yourself in this situation:
When it comes to eating most of us are instantly satisfied with the good old comfort food. Let's talk about a big piece of fruit tart. I am sure there are many other foods that come to mind but this to me is a mouth watering fat filled treat, and even though there is fruit there is also tons of sugar and other nums that counter act this "healthy" dessert.
You have two options. You can go down to a bakery that you know has the BEST fruit tart you have ever tasted. Purchase it with your hard earned money and take it home to make a the perfect ending to whatever dinner you will be eating that night. Picture a group that you are bringing it to. They will all be so delighted to see this beautiful treat they will soon be completely involved with, but only for a few minutes and then it will be gone. So the time it took you to drive down to the bakery, let's say 30 minutes down and back, the dinner 45 minutes, and the presentation and consumption of your gift to your group 20 min. So all in all you had about an hour and a half of pure bliss, but then it's gone.
Second option, you make the dessert yourself. Planning out the ingredients needed 20 minutes, Driving to and from the grocery store 20 minutes, gathering all the ingredients 45 minutes, slicing and dicing, mixing and kneeding 25 hours (crust needs a full 24 hours in the fridge) At the end of this all you bake the crust that you have waited to patiently for 30 min, afterwards you slather on the delicious fatty cream cheese that sits under the gourmet fruit you have perfectly prepared. You carefully plan out your design and color scheme to how the fruit will present itself. Your creation is complete. I don't need to add up the time for you to know this takes quite a bit longer. You go through the steps to get to your presentation and when you do it is a completely different feeling of accomplishment and pride. Your guests ask if you made this exquisite gift and you say YES!!! Immediately you are praised for your hard work and creativity. You are on a natural high for the rest of the evening and ready to do it again because of the outcome.
Same thing goes for yourself. The more time and effort you put into sculpting the perfect creation that is YOU the longer the satisfaction and natural high last. Do not rely on these fad diets that last only a moment because the accomplishment felt is minimal compared to when people ask "how did you do it?" and you can say it wasn't easy, it took hard work and a lot of time, but the satisfaction felt when it was all done was the absolute best feeling you will ever experience. Self service is often looked over but you are worth it take time to better yourself whatever that may be and positivity, motivation, and self satisfaction will naturally follow.
Now go do it!!!! When you are done reward yourself with a tiny treat and you will have a nice balance of physical and mental bliss :D
