You Deserve it!

Here's something a good trainer friend of mine shared with me regarding what he tells his clients when they find it difficult to resist all the temptations such as coffee, fast food, crisps, sweets, etc. 

He shares with them that we often give in to these temptations by telling ourselves that we deserve it.  If we have a bad day of work we reach for that chocolate bar, or if we have to get up extra early we justify that extra cup of coffee.  We always find a way to justify these temptations, but the truth is what we really deserve is to fill our bodies with good nutritious food.  We owe it to ourselves!  If we feed our body good things then the benefits will be increased energy, improved circulation, vitality and well-being.  

Next time you are tempted to reach for those empty calories, think to yourself: Do I really deserve this?
