Day 2: The Bite That Starts the Spiral
Seriously, It's Never Just One Bite...
“It’s never just one bite. It’s spring loaded.”
Let’s be honest.
It’s never just one.
One chip turns into a bag.
One cookie leads to a sugar bender.
One nibble becomes a weekend regret.
You know the drill.
Here's the truth:
It’s not because you're weak.
It’s because that bite reactivates an old identity, an identity you’re now leaving behind.
That bite isn’t harmless.
It’s the spark that lights the fuse.
So instead of thinking “just this once”…
Try this instead:
👉 “I don’t do that anymore.”
Simple.
Firm.
Final.
No debate. No drama. No downward spiral.
You’re not missing out.
You’re moving forward.
🔥 Your Day 2 Challenge:
Write your “I don’t do that anymore” list.
Keep it short. Even one item is powerful.
Write it on a sticky note.
Stick it to your fridge, cabinet, or screen.
Look at it every time the urge hits.
Example:
I don’t eat when I’m tired.
I don’t open the snack drawer at 9 PM.
I don’t grab sweets when I’m stressed.
Mini Win:
Read your note out loud, like you mean it.
One bite used to own you.
Not anymore.
You're calling the shots now.
And that’s the kind of power that sticks.
