Nothing seems to work for me. My last diet failed, I realize, because it was much too restrictive, so I am trying something new.
1.) I have a major sweet tooth, and in my last diet, I tried to cut it ALL out, but that didn't work, because I craved sugar too much.
So, I am replacing my sweets with Jello, Pudding, fruit, and those little spongecake shells with strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, and a little whip cream (those are only for special treats, though). Yes, I realize that this isn't exactly the healthiest way to do this, but it is cutting my calories down by a lot because I would binge on Debbie snack-cakes.
Oh, and thanks to my husband, I now love instant coffee and hot chocolate mixed together. *rolls eyes* Also, it really works, so I just count it as my "clean the house" or "workout" drink. lol.
2.) I am not going to eat until I am stuffed, so my meals are going to be light, and I'm going to eat every few hours instead of just eating one or two huge meals. I am also going to just eat one serving at a meal (unless it is vegetables by themselves, or something light like my quinoa stir-fry).
3.) My lunch is going to be raw vegetables with Greek yogurt (with a little ranch seasoning stirred into it).
4.) I'm going to limit my junk. I bought a thing of individual potato-chip bags that are divided in serving sizes, so if I want something salty I can have one bag as a snack once in a while. I'm trying to not deprive myself, because it doesn't work for me.
Does this seem like an okay way to start a diet?
