Learning the self control to eat a better diet is akin to learning how to walk for the first time; I fall down a whole lot, but so long as I get up again and take some more steps, I'll get there.
I am a powerful animal, born to run and develop muscles, able to feel the burn of exercise and welcome it as a friend. I am intelligent enough to fuel my body with healthful foods and self controlled enough to forgo excess. Perhaps once, as a child this was difficult, but mastery of the self is a part of adulthood.
When you learn to show up for yourself every day; when you learn that a treat is a treatment of yourself that increases your self esteem and not your addictions, you will come to a healthy balance in all things, including your diet.
There are perhaps more pages on dieting out there than almost anything else and it could be summed up in a few words. Love yourself, feel your true worth as a soulful person, then build your ability for self control on a daily basis. Once you have mastered that, once you stop looking for a "finish line," the rest of your success story writes itself.
A million greedy companies sit down to dine on your psyche, cutting and dividing you up, fighting for a bigger pile of your tasty fatty neurones. Each of them making more clever claims than the last with their shallow science, sowing fear when confidence is key to a healthy life balance.
"Forget about everything except self control," Sasha would say, "everything you need, all success, comes from self control and consistency; and that includes dieting, weight loss, whatever. Control yourself, know yourself, know what your real limits are and not the fake ones your upper mind invents with a thousand reasons and ten thousand pieces of supporting 'evidence.' Teach yourself discipline and you will have your best life in the best shape you can be. That I promise."
