You get to decide if you want to experience short-term gratification or long-term pleasure.
Either way, you’re going to feel uncomfortable.
At the moment, you are choosing to feel the short-term pleasure the dopamine hit gives you when you eat sugar. But the long-term effects are weight gain, being irritable, experiencing brain fog, sleepless nights, and any other symptoms you may get from eating sugar.
Your primal brain doesn’t care that it’s the sugar causing these long-term effects. It just wants the instant gratification, and it wants it now! Just like a child.
But… you could choose to experience the short-term discomfort of feeling the urge for sugar and not eat it, which will actually give you soooo much more long-term gratification. Such as weight loss, balanced moods, healthier body, better night sleep, more respect for yourself.
You actually get to choose this for yourself.
When you leave this decision to your primal brain, it’s always going to choose the instant gratification.
Seriously think about this. Ask yourself, which one would you prefer?
a) 1. Having 5 mins of pleasure and years of discomfort?
2. Having 5 mins of discomfort and years of pleasure?
Either one includes discomfort, you just get to choose which one.
I know which one I choose, 2.
You get to decide.
Which is it gunna be?
