The Most Important Tactic I Use To Stay On My Meal Plan Every Day

I never stop looking for reps anywhere and everywhere.

Eating right is hard work.

Most days, I’d rather dive into Lucky Charms and pizza with that super crumply sausage. And donuts, lots and lots of donuts.

But I don’t. And it’s not because I’m special, built differently, or have willpower in reserve. It’s because I stack the deck.

Let me explain.

Whenever I crave something that isn’t in line with the person I want to be, I tell myself, “no.” I actually say “no” to the voices in my head. Then I say, “not an option.”

Even more important is that this isn’t the first step; it’s the last in a series of tactics I started yesterday. And the day before that. And the month before that.

Get it?

For me, it’s nearly impossible to survive without a plan, plump down at the end of a long day, and not binge on a mountain of chocolate chip cookies.
