Need help convincing myself

Today is my first big baking day [I run a baking business on Etsy and my own website and at craft shows] since starting paleo 8 days ago.

I'm finding it EASY to NOT eat any samples of what's done or have a taste of leftover batter, BUT I hear myself saying I 'deserve' some kind of carb treat [like french fries - my secret downfall] if I finish the day well.

Ugh, how do I change THAT logic???

    I think you just have to want it. It has to come from inside you. This isnt an all or nothing thing. If you want french fries have them. But understand the consequences of your actions. Also maybe dont have them more often than have them.

    I am learning to deal with the "I deserve..." because honestly no one deserves to eat, or doesn't deserve to eat...it just is :) We have culturally loaded the whole food situation.

    I do a mix of Gluten Free and Primal Living (which allows very low amount of potatoes) but I found it more liveable that Paleo, but thats just me!

    Find what works and stick to it!

    A great book I am reading is "Nice Girls Finish Fat" and it talks about the whole deserving-ness of overeating :)

    Over time you'll find that you'd rather reward yourself with a nice steak or something than french fries. I can't even eat fries any more because they are so bland and boring (however I have replaced that vice with a new one...sweet potato fries LOL).
