I stink at dieting!! If I try to do any kind of plan, I’m thinking about food all day long!!! I find myself saying that I’ll eat what I want today and I’ll shape up tomorrow.
I’m not counting calories, weighing food or measuring portions. I’m even enjoying an occasional treat. I just find myself constantly thinking “I have to lose two-tenths of a pound today!”
I had no idea how all the little tastes, seconds and thirds at dinner and frequent snacking were adding up!! They have been easy to eliminate. Dinner was a difficult time for me because I come home from work stressed and hungry! I’m allowing myself all the food I want but choosing fresh veggies for seconds instead of extra meat and carbs.
Anyway – to sum it up — this is working because it’s changed the thoughts going through my head — instead of “I’ll start tomorrow”, I’m having to say “I must lose two-tenths of a pound today.” With most things, the battle is in your mind. It’s a battle that is easy to fight because so little needs to be done.
