Guest Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 I was just wondering whether anyone had any 'mantras' they use in sticky situations where temptation is tough?! I tend to use... 'put your big girl pants on' (particularly useful when I'm about to throw myself on the floor outside of starbucks in protest ) 'you're not hungry, you're bored' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllyB Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 "I am in control of my body. Not the other way around." I used this to resist cravings. It drove me nuts and mad that my body was trying to sabotage my whole 30 by demanding sugar. I used that anger to resist giving in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noelle Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 "Nothing is leaving the planet," to remind myself that I can enjoy the tempting food after my 30 days (if I still want it). "What are you hoping that [food] will do?" sometimes helps pinpoint the emotional issue at the root of the craving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
