One thing that helped me was to widen the time frame.

We get so focused on that first bite we lose track of how it sends ripples for days, or longer. I started contemplating bad choices as something that was much bigger than the ten minutes spent actually eating it. It upset my stomach, made me feel nauseated, dragged down my energy and my mood. Did I want to keep reaching for the elastic waist pants in the drawer? Did I want to "have fun" for an hour and then feel awful for days?

We all look back on years of suffering from bad food choices. We have the power to not continue to do that to ourselves.
