It's not. My own internal dialog is far more profanity laced. I have such a potty mouth.

You Don’t Know What a Treat Is
Treat /tret/: defn: an event or item that is out of the ordinary and gives great pleasure
You know the part about great pleasure. Chocolate tastes good. Wine goes down smooth. Nachos and wings are delicious. Cookies should be their own food group.
But you missed a part I think.
‘An event or item that is out of the ordinary’
100 years ago you had cake on your birthday and maybe a family member or two. 70 years ago you had a milkshake a few times a year at the drugstore soda fountain. 20 years ago you ordered Chinese food (the nasty deep fried North American version) a couple times a year as a family or at a party.
Today is different. EVERY SINGLE ******* DAY you are exposed to ‘treats’. Donuts and chocolate milk on the way home from your kids sporting events. Trays of cookies in the office lounge. Bags of chips in the cupboard.
Every. Single. Day.
That’s without dinners and events every weekend or birthday parties, anniversaries, baby showers, sports events, holidays, and the plethora of celebratory events.
‘Treats’ are something out of the ordinary. If it happens more than once a month it is no longer out of the ordinary. Stop saying treat. You aren’t having a treat.
It comes down to sacrifice and commitment, like we talked about earlier. Come on. You’re a grown *** adult making their own decisions. Don’t delude yourself in an attempt to justify the fact you are fully responsible for the **** you plow into your mouth.
You are just eating ****. And that’s fine. I don’t care. It’s your life. Don’t cry over the blubber hanging over your belt though.

Just posted it on mine and changed my profile pic to the "I'm not an a**hole" one.
Awesome article and absolutely true. It should be a sticky in the sea of desolation and failure that is the so called Motivation forum.
I'll be curious to hear what reaction you get.. hopefully positive ones

Pretty much sums up my attitude! I'm a teacher and I'm like that with my clients. They come back because they know that I want the best for them and I want them happy, and there's no time to be soft.
That article didn't even make me bat an eyelid, I'm a single parent running a business in one if the most expensive cities in the world. Being tough and disciplined in ingrained.0 -

Do you know, I've been bashed on the forums for pretty much saying this? (Not the last part, but the treat thing?)
This was how I was raised. We had treats as treats. On special occasions and visits with the grandparents. Realizing that was a huge part in me making peace with sugar.

Is Facebook really that much of an issue with stuff? I'm constantly seeing people here say they posted stuff on Facebook and it became a s*** storm.
Sorry, I've never had Facebook.[/quote/]
My Facebook page is a daily dose of Cleanses, sugar is the devil, down with GMO, detox water recipes, and people who believe in the woo that I come here to get away from.0 -

Yeah I always ask myself when I see that "If they have so much of an issue with the things you say then why are they your friends?"
You can't unfriend your family.... I tried. I got yelled at by my mama.

These people aren't my friends. They're in the faceache groups I'm in. Mostly fasting/weight loss groups

@laurend224
Every fitness group I belong to has that detox/cleanse/sugar is evil nonsense and I should post this link to all of them.
And then the anti-GMO folks are in every political group I'm in
