No Diet for Me

I can no longer stand the stress of being on a diet. When I decided a couple of weeks ago to be on a diet I forgot how weak-willed I was. Luckily I caught that mistake after gaining only 3 pounds. I got off the diet and the scale is back where it was.

Here's how it goes. I bought a couple bags of easter kisses when they were on sale, just to have around the house. Not on a diet - I would eat 3 or 4 or 10 every once in a while. On a diet - I ate the whole bag in one day because tomorrow I would have to start dieting for real. Of course, I wasn't any better the next day and the cycle started all over again with a little extra comfort food to make myself feel better about the discomfort that was about to start the next day (for real).

Since I'm not on a diet, there is no necessity of eating something right now, I can always have it later or tomorrow or the next day. I am at an age and a stage where I get along just fine letting my eating habits be governed more by indigestion than weight loss.

All that Easter candy before it's even Easter? Shame shame shame!!! My absolute favorite Easter candy is Cadbury eggs, but I haven't been tempted enough to get any. Maybe there will be some when I go home for Easter Break.......

Weight loss -- where there is a will there is a way -- and you have found it.

My way is similar, I don’t think about being on a diet. That way food is not the main thought. When you constantly think about what you can and cannot eat, then that’s all you think about and want to eat all the more.
