Sometimes I’ll be speaking to people about how they’ve been getting on with their eating.
And, with a sheepish look on their face, they’ll say something like “I had a McDonald’s at the weekend”.
Which, like many phrases we use, doesn’t necessarily make as much sense as it initially appears.
Because we wouldn’t use that kind of phrase for everywhere we bought food would we?
We wouldn’t say “I had a Tesco” for example.
McDonald’s, like Tesco is ultimately just a building.
A place we can go to buy food.
What food we choose to buy in there is up to us.
Essentially telling ourselves that it is impossible to eat in line with our health and fitness goals……….
Or that we’ve somehow “failed”………
Because of the sign on top of the building we’re buying food in doesn’t really make any sense.
Wherever we buy our food we can still choose what we have and how much.
And, if that amount is going to be more than an average amount that we would need for that meal would be………
Then we can just choose to average out elsewhere.
The collection of bricks from within which we brought our food only has to have as much impact on our results as we choose it to have.
Much love,
