I’m beginning to figure out one reason I find dieting/weight control/healthy eating so difficult. It’s because it’s a negative process so often. It’s about not eating this or not choosing that. It’s about holding myself back and avoiding certain behavior.
I tend to do better with positive things — do this, do that, etc. If I could just eat this or eat that and see success, it might be easier. As it is, I can start the day with the really good stuff, but, somewhere along the way, I still have to restrain myself. I have to keep myself from making bad choices. Hmm… How can I work around my psychology and make this work??
Well.. about 2 weeks to my due date. Many changes ahead.
