What's your favorite candy? 🍫 Let me know in the comments below ⬇️
🍭 Do you conditionally allow yourself permission to have candy on Halloween, then go back to restricting yourself from candy on November 1st? 👻
🍬Restricting candy mentally and physically can look like keeping candy stashed away and out of the house can. Allowing yourself candy only if you can "work it off." Saving your calories for the day so you can enjoy candy after dinner. Eating one piece of candy and saying F it then eat the whole bag and vow never to buy it again.
Conditionally allowing yourself from candy may be the reason why you feel like 💩 when you allow yourself permission to have some.
🎃 Instead, reframe your mindset from scarcity to abundance to help you stop losing control around candy. Remind yourself that you can have candy whenever you want. It's not going away just because the holiday is over. 🍫 Candy is available all year round, yes, even candy corn.😝 This mindset allows you to loosen up the mental restriction so you can begin to practice unconditional permission to eat.😵 Did I scare you?? Unconditional permission is not permission to "lose control," although at first, it feels like it - bear with me here. It's called habituation - aka getting used to having it around which helps overcome the physical restriction—and making peace with food - which helps with the mental restriction piece, which causes you to feel bad for eating candy.
Allowing unconditional permission to eat candy doesn't mean you're going to eat it 24/7, but it does mean having candy available to you whenever you crave it guilty, shame, or embarrassment. 🙌🏻
