Keriann, good point, I've been discussing this with my mom and husband. It's amazing that from when we're first taught to eat we get treats as rewards, cakes to celebrate, etc. I think it all teaches that the bad food is good,and the protein and veggies are what we must eat. If you've ever watched a toddler crash after a birthday party it is just clear as day......so then, eating the treat food makes you feel bad, but you think of it as good.... My mom thinks that we're all walking around believing that we are supposed to feel bad....Certainly interesting. Thanks for the encouragement. BTW, BEAUTIFUL wedding dress, and, of course, bride
Irish - this is the first "diet" I have ever been on. I've read the book twice so far and am a believer, if you will. All this and I still slipped up majorly. I actually used to eat a very whole food, lower carb diet and was healthy....I think to a point I just got very lazy and then decided I really liked fast food.......Makes me wonder how people do make it a forever lifestyle change, but I am in the process of making it to that point *must keep repeating this to myself* I have realized that alcohol is my very biggest craving trigger, guess I'll be a teetotaler from here on out....
