Do you know how much time it takes to measure peanut butter?
.
I do.. Because I did the math ? Say it takes you 30 seconds to measure each day. That’s 10,950 seconds or 182.5 minutes or 3.04 hours a year. Measuring. Peanut butter. That’s a movie date you missed out on! Or an extra 3 hours of sleep ?
.
You do NOT need to “be careful” with your peanut butter… or any other foods. That “control” that you’re exhibiting is actually a false sense of it. Because what it’s actually doing is increasing your brain’s motivation for that food that is being restricted causing you to be more likely to eat it in larger quantities and in binge-like styles.
.
For years I thought I had to tread lightly around the creamy, dreamy, delicious as heck goodness because “Woah baby! ?Be careful not to eat too much!” But that? That thinking? It’s what CAUSES us to want to eat more than feels good. ?It’s counterproductive.
.
The only times you need to “be careful” with food is when you’re preparing it (watch those knives!), trying not to spill, etc. ?I heard somewhere that there are a LOT of emergency room visits over people cutting avocados in their hands and then slicing open their palms!? Don’t do that guys! ?♀️Or lick a knife with peanut butter on it. (I’m SUPER guilty of still doing this one I won’t lie!?♀️)
