Controlling Indulgence

by

Is this really possible? I mean, it is easy to lose the weight, but to keep it off?

Indulgence - to gratify ones owns desires or wants
We all love to indulge in food. Cake tastes so good. I could talk about food for like … forever. It gets obsessive. I can either indulge by eating or by thinking about food too much.
Do you have anything like this in your life? It may be food as well.
For me, indulgence is one thing, but I tend to take it way too far. Instead of having one piece of cake, I will eat half of it. One scoop of ice cream is never enough to me. I am still dreaming about that scoop after I finish it and find myself brainless as I keep getting more and more of the unhealthy stuff. I am an endless pit.
But is it really possible to control yourself when you are indulging? I mean, really? Say you are eating a ridiculously delicious brownie at a party. They are cut into super-small pieces. What’s to stop you from eating a bunch of these chocolate treats? After all, they are small, so they couldn’t actually do anything bad to your body, right? We all know the answer to the question, but it is this level of denial that makes any type of indulgence dangerous for me.
I need to stay thin for this business, so in the end, any type of indulgence isn’t a good idea for me. I will just take it too far.
