Step by step guid to find a underlying reason why you buy junk food

Who here believes walking away from junk food is all on your strong wills?

I did and so did my clients for mindful eating support for a long time.  Can you guess what happened to us? 

Binged on what we restricted on. 

So, all the efforts - starvation (haha, it felt like it), mind-games, (unhelpful) disciplines only worked so long but took us to the worst place than where we started.

This is why I dive deep into WHYs you want to buy junk food.  Not to restrict you from buying it against your will.

It's so important to know the reason why you need to do the habit that you want to change.  There's an underlying reason for it and unless we address that, you'll repeat the same act. If you ignore it and force it to change the unsupportive behavior with your strong will, it'll only last so long and you'll binge on the food you deprived.

So, it's a good day to think about WHY you want to buy junk food. 

a). Write down the why

Example answer: It's a habit.

b). Why do you do that habit (when you know it's not serving you)?

Example answer: Because I need it for TV time after dinner.

c). Why do you need it?

Example answer: Because I feel like I need something when I'm watching TV.

d). Why do you feel like you need something when watching TV?

Example answer: "I feel lonely without it". 

So, this is the underlying reason why you buy junk food. 

Then, instead, what can you do so that you don't feel lonely?  
Make a list so that next time you see junk food at a store, you can be reminded that you have other options for your core needs than junk food! 

This is the kind of work you'll be doing in my online program "Stop Buying Junk Food for Binging".  If you're looking for more support with this type of mindful and sustainable approach, make sure you check out details of the program!

Cheering for you,
