Planning ahead is key. Why? Because when we make decisions ahead of time we make better decisions that will benefit us in the future. When we make decisions ahead of time we use a different part of our brain that takes in all the consequences of our actions. When we leave it to the moment to make our decisions we are guided my our primitive brain that is concerned with one thing - IMMEDIATE PLEASURE! Why? Because it associates pleasure with survival.
When we plan ahead we will have just one chocolate instead of 10 and a piece of cake. We have one biscuit instead of the whole panic. When we plan ahead we don't perpetuate the cycle of gorging and regretting, which then leads to cutting everything out altogether and feeling deprived. Then ultimately we cave in and the cycle starts again.
Making your decisions ahead of time means that you get everything that you want - the treats and the body that you have always wanted.
