Bottom line:
If you treat your body like you treat your finances amazing things can happen (assuming you know the basics of personal finance..see above). And just like finances, remember that it’s OK to spend on the things you truly love.
If you are going to splurge every once in a while, make sure you do it on foods you love, not crap you don’t need and won’t actually enjoy. But remember, when it comes to spurging, it’s better to save up then splurge then to do into debt splurging. The same goes with eating, it’s better to get lean so you have some calorie “wiggle room” then it is to splurge while still trying to lose.
PS- Lastly if you do have excess body fat then it’s the same as being in debt, it takes hard work, persistence and patients to get rid of it. No one gets rid of body fat or gets out of debt by ‘wishing really hard’. You need a plan, and you need to change your ways (see above).
