How can I avoid feeling deprived after I give up junk food?

Or is it truer that I'm fantasizing about having a certain taste experience?" The truth is that the body won't feel deprived, the ego will. The ego's Child (pleasure-seeking impulses) will.

Deprivation is a conditioned idea that the Child has talked to us about so many times that we've actually come to believe it. The Child tells us that we're feeling deprived, so we deserve two slices of chocolate mousse cake and a hot fudge sundae. She uses the idea of deprivation as an excuse for overeating, and we comply.

The body, on the other hand, couldn't care less. It eats whatever is in front of it. Deprivation is a conditioned idea that tells us we should be able to expect certain taste experiences because we've had them in the past.

If we're used to having dessert, we come to expect it, and when we don't have it, we tell ourselves the story of "being deprived" and get in a tizzy about it. The body isn't deprived without dessert. It needs a certain number of calories; vitamins and minerals; and a healthy balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fats.

If we're giving it these things, it's not deprived. Deprivation is a lie that the Child tells you. It's how we characterize the Child's tantrum when her desire for pleasure food is not being met.

Once you see this, you're on to the ego's game, and you can't be tricked into believing in or following the lie. You're no longer attached to getting pleasure from pleasure food. When you're free from that attachment, you still enjoy food as much as, if not more than, before, but you no longer need to get pleasure from a particular food at a particular time.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
