My cupboards at home rarely contain any treats. on any given
day the most exciting things you will find is a can of Tuna (or sardines) rice
cakes, chia seeds and a few cans of beans, and maybe, just maybe some chocolate
chips for baking. Having my pantry bare, forces me to eat fresh and eat foods
that have an expiration date (Fruits, veggies). And when it’s not in the
cupboards, it’s very unlikely for me to actually trek out to a grocery store
for something full of sugar or savory, like chips. In my mind, nothing is worth
the comfort of my home, or the cold blistering snows of winter. For those of
you who are trying to get back on track, empty your kitchen cupboards and
pantry of all the foods that you know you shouldn’t be eating (cookies, chips,
sweet spreads etc.) and donate non-perishable items to your local food bank.
NOT having these items at home will make it less likely for you to sabotage
your own progress. Believe me I have a big sweet tooth and if cookies were
staring me in the face I would eat them…but since they’re not there an apple does
nicely. What most people don’t remember is that an apple or a bowl of berries (or
your fruit of choice) is just as likely to curb cravings for sweets as a bowl
of ice cream, but without all the guilt.
