It’s a weird concept if you think about it. Your brain controls you. It makes your hand reach out for that bowl of salty pretzels and that house party. Yet, the other part of your brain is screaming at you to put them down. Why is that side always weaker? Why does the other side always win? Because the pro-pretzel side has had more practice.
It’s like memorizing lyrics to your favorite song. Once you know the lyrics, you can’t unlearn them. No matter how much you ignore the song, in 5 years when it starts playing on the radio, you won’t be able to help lip syncing along to the words. Well, just like your favorite song, you can’t just unlearn to eat food. If you’ve been going to parties for 2 years straight, and at every party you grab a handful of pretzels, you aren’t suddenly going to be able to say no to them the next time you go. No, it takes time and practice.
Let’s say you’ve been working out your left arm, and ONLY your left arm. You can lift 50 pounds on your left arm. If you try to lift 50 pounds with your right arm, you won’t be able to, because you’ve never worked out that arm before. Just like the two sides of your brain. If you’ve never said no to the food before, your stronger side will take over the “DON’T EAT THAT!” side, and you will eat it. So don’t get mad at yourself the next time you binge, because self control takes time and practice. You’re not just going to wakeup one morning and have all the control in the world. Time is key.

Anonymous asked: Hi, i was jw, whats the website you use... the one that (i assume) you screenshot? Does it work? Would you reccemend it?
It’s myfitnesspal c: Yeah it’s really good, because it has such a big range of food. I do like loseit though because it’s really pretty (it’s the other one I’ve used for my intake photos).
