No more crazy diets!
Monday
There are so many diets and the major problem I find with them is that the person diets for a period of time and then "goes off" the diet. When I do this I tend to then crave foods I was avoiding and go on this extended binge. I usually have the pre-diet binge as well, so that I am ready for the deprivation of the diet.
Eating normally I don't seem to experience these drastic highs and lows.
What I am working on now is taking it one day at a time - if I am really wanting something - I might have a little, or better yet, plan on having a little bit tomorrow. When tomorrow comes most of the time I am not needing to indulge anymore.
Limiting my intake is another plan of mine - just one plateful and not having seconds. When I do this I am not full right away, but within about 30 minutes I feel great and am really glad I stopped.
