White-knuckle it if you have to.

 

Making healthy choices just isn't going to be easy all the time. Some days you will find yourself eating the broccoli; other days you will be craving the chocolate. On the days when food thoughts are pushing you in the wrong direction, consider white-knuckling it through the craving. 

 

When you white-knuckle your way through something, it's uncomfortable. But, you can handle some discomfort, right? And while white-knuckling it is not the preferred method for long-term recovery, it is a vital tool to pull you through when you need it.

 

Action for the day: If you find yourself drawn to an unhealthy food or to overeating, pull out the tool of white-knuckling. It can get you through.

Thanks Molly. I've had to use the white-knuckle method at times. I've never called it that but I like the term.
Hugs
