I found that once in awhile I would have a cheat meal (special occasion) and I would see it as a license to ‘binge’ on refined carbs and bad fat. After I would physically feel horrible, drowsy and sick to my stomache. I used this as motivation to keep eating clean because I feel so much better when I do. Not that an occasional cheat meal is the end of the world (life happens), but if I learn to moderate my choices, there would be less consequences. This has shown me how much food can be an addiction just like any other.
