The "R-word" is fattening

The "R-word" makes it okay for us to eat whatever we want, whenever we want.  It makes it okay for us to gain a pound here and there.  It makes it okay if we choose to sleep in each morning instead of going to the workout.

The "R-word" word is horribly fattening. 

The "R-word" is "Rationalization."

It's okay to have half a cake because it's your birthday.  It's okay to sleep in and skip the gym because you were up late last night.  It's okay to have some Skittles while you're at the computer because they keep you awake so you can finish your work.  It's okay to have ice cream because, after all, the sun is shining today.

Get it?  Rationalization is how you reason your way into or out of anything you want, even when your conscience is advising you otherwise. 

You were endowed with a CONSCIENCE for good reason: to help you choose the "right" courses of action throughout life.  Rationalizing is a method of overriding the conscience--of thinking and talking ourselves into doing whatever we want.

Next time you catch yourself rationalizing your way toward the cookie jar, candy stash, or adult beverages, STOP!  Tell your mind to shut up and let your conscience TRULY be your guide.  Listen to the spark of light within you that guides you safely and lovingly through your life.  It won't steer you wrong.
