You’re concentrating on the DON’Ts
If you’re constantly telling yourself ‘Don’t eat chocolate, don’t eat chocolate, don’t eat chocolate’, guess what your subconscious will get out of all of this? ‘Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate!’ By concentrating on what not to do, you’ll only make it worse for yourself. Instead of having an occasional treat, you’ll overeat on chocolate every chance you get after every self-induced period of deprivation.
How to fix it: Try to focus on the things you do want, on the DOs. There are plenty of tasty, nutritious foods like blueberries or oysters, that can bring you joy as well as positive feelings, without becoming obsessed with them.
