147 - I Deserve This

Maggie Sterling
About this episode

Have you ever found yourself making the statement, “I deserve this”?

If you’ve ever been on a diet, then the answer is probably a resounding yes.

In the dieting world it is so common to follow your diet, and then reward yourself with food.

You may reward yourself with a little treat at night, or a cheat meal you hadn't planned.

Your diet isn't going to be sustainable if you are continually looking for ways to eat off plan.

In this week’s episode, I share with you why you deserve to eat the food you want whenever you want.

What You’ll Learn From This Episode:
  • Why there shouldn’t be guilt around the food you want to eat.
  • Why the thought, “I’ve been so good," can be damaging.
  • Why you shouldn’t wait until you are weak emotionally to plan.
  • How to determine why you feel you need a break from what you’re doing.
  • What you actually deserve.
