I think that I have come to the realization that if I tell myself I am dieting, I am setting myself up to fail. So I tell myself to "WATCH" what I eat!! Yup, I watch it go from plate to mouth!! :)
As with all other aspects of my life, I really am not a fan of being told what to do. You tell me what to do with out being the person who signs my paycheck, I guarantee I will dig my heals in and not budge.
This apparently is even true when I tell myself that I can not have a certain food! If I say I'm going to try the South Beach diet...I will crave breads and pasta, cupcakes and candy! When I eventually cheat, I don't even have the will power to stop!
If I cheat while on a diet, say I have a candy bar....I will eat the whole thing in one sitting, because if I'm going to cheat, I might as well eat it all now and then there won't be anything to cheat with later when I get back on the wagon! Convoluted, I know!!
So, I think I finally have come to the realization...
I started the "Insanity" exercise program Tuesday night, and I'm excited to say that I can walk down the stairs, and it doesn't HURT....
MUCH!!!
Blessings,
Monica
