The first day of a diet is like the first day of school. Everything is new. New people, books, classes, school. At your old school you were comfortable. You had your old friends. Bread, ice cream, candy, and potato chips were always there for you. Now your new friends are carrots, yogurt, and salad y don't give you that same old warm feeling like your old friends. You just need to rethink your diet. Make friends with your new food. Don't think about how much you miss your old friends but how you are going to look and feel with your new friends. Eat often. I know that sounds odd but to keep from going on a binge, keep celery, carrots and the like at the ready. These are good for you and helps tide you over until the next meal. Also, do something you love that keeps your hands busy. I can't eat and sew. So mend something or whatever keeps your hands busy so you can't reach for something. Brush your teeth. No, your breath is fine. But have you noticed that food tastes funky just after you brush your teeth? Brush alot if necessary. Not only will you want to eat less, your Dentist will also be happy. I'm new to this site. I joined today, but I've dieted for life and I'm 57. I know how to lose but I lose my motivation. I'm 273 and I know where you are coming from. Hang in there. Your new veggie friends will help you graduate.
