It is all about attitude

So, a friend said that she "broke down" and had something she enjoys. This got me thinking...
Changing our life has to be about changing our attitude. If you continue to think of "good food" as a "break down", then you feel guilty about what you ate, and sometimes that leads you to eat even more and the cycle continues. If you change your attitude to allow yourself little indulgences every now and again your new life will seem much more "liveable" and your chances of success will be better. Getting skinny and living healthy is not about sitting home eating "gross". If that is the life you are living...you won't be living it long because "eating gross" is no way to live, and you will slip back into old habits. If you make your food choices ones that include things you like and that are yummy, you are more likely to stick with your new life. Everything in moderation and portion controlled is good. If something is "gross" I don't eat it - plain and simple.

I may have slipped up in the past but there is no way I'm ever going back to my old ways of eating. Old ME would have downed at least a whole pizza to myself at my son's birthday party plus several helpings of the birthday cookie. New me ate before the party and had a small piece of birthday cookie. I didn't feel deprived because I ate something that I LIKE before I went to the party. I also decided that if I'm going to eat pizza it has to be "pw"... Enchanted Castle pizza is just not "pw". Now Papa's Pizza on the other hand is PW!!!
