Daily Inpiration - Remind yourself healthy change is worth the discomfort.

Remind yourself healthy change is worth the discomfort. 

To truly get beyond old, unhealthy eating patterns, you will need to change. Accepting that you need to change is the first step. Understanding that change will require you to be uncomfortable for awhile is the next step.  

You can help yourself by using positive self talk. Remind yourself frequently that the discomfort you are feeling is temporary, and that eventually your new, healthier behaviors will feel completely normal and comfortable. 

Action for the day: Gently allow yourself to feel the discomfort of change today. Find ways to comfort yourself other than with food. Praise yourself for the effort.
