what you’ve been calling a weight problem — or difficulty sticking with your best thinking about what to eat — is in reality a survival drive gone wrong.
Uncertainty, doubt, and low self-esteem are the psychological cancers which fuel overeating behavior.
The Pig doesn’t care about the consequences to your health, body, well-being, or happiness — because the Pig must get its stuff at any cost! You want to love, learn, laugh, and live your life to the fullest. But the Pig lives only for that “one more” precious Binge.
It’s robbed you of not only the body you want, but the energy you need to build the life of your dreams. It’s the Pig that’s caused you to live with this unnecessary weight burden… It’s the Pig that’s drained your success, health, and happiness…
you can eternally dominate it as long as you don’t confuse its Squeals for your own desires,
this trick of mind is how you finally get fed up with the internal thoughts which—until now— have been ruining so much of your life in exchange for a few moments of toxic pleasure.
Your Pig would certainly prefer you believed it didn’t exist. Because then you’d think its Squeals were your own thoughts — and, as you’ll soon discover, this is the ONLY way the Pig can get you to feed it.
the Pig is powerless to do anything without your consent.
The question is, will you choose to live your life as a slave to the Pig’s impulses and demands, or put the animal in its cage so you can exercise your human freedom?
You do not have cravings – your pig does! So when you feel one coming on, just say: “I WILL NEVER EAT PIG SLOP AGAIN!”
Allowing ANY possibility you will ever Binge again changes the commitment from “I will” to “I’ll try”…which is NO commitment at all.
Perfectionism may be a set up for a Binge when you apply it after a mistake has occurred, but when you use it to lock in your commitments at the outset just the opposite is true. Perfectionism is the right approach to gain control of your eating forever when used as a commitment tool.
