Saying 'you can't' has a similar effect on me. It puts me straight into F-you mode! 'Never' is too long a time to ban any food, but just 'occasionally' as a mindful treat or 'in moderation' is sustainable thinking.<br /><br />You have designed your own plan, which sounds like it's an ace one. You already KNOW what to do. I'd echo the 'write down everything you eat' comment above but would add a 'notes' section to your record so that if (or when?) you have a crappy day you'll be able to see what triggered it and maybe avoid 'the return of'. Helps break the cycle of kicking yourself for getting it wrong (those times you think you've 'failed' - oooh er!) to the extent that you give up and de-rail all the good things you've accomplished.<br /><br />Make little, do-able, changes - one at a time. Stick with them until they become second nature, but be prepared to revise them a little if you need to. Then watch those good results start coming in!<br /><br />I look forward to hearing all about them :-) <br /><br />One more thing - devise some nice non-food rewards for yourself. A pat on the back when the gal does good can do just as much for you as a kick up the arse.<br /><br />Good luck.Denizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09633002838343992787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6042613739572921643.post-53726119945891729362010-04-16T22:03:08.270+01:002010-04-16T22:03:08.270+01:00You always make me laugh out loud. "Slimming...You always make me laugh out loud. "Slimming World"...are you kidding me? Must be a British thing. Now you know a diet is a four letter word. You need a new "life plan" because the issues don't go away just because you lose weight. I challenge you to record everything you eat in a food journal and count calories. It can be eye opening.
