This has been the longest that I've stayed on any kind of weight loss plan in years. Aside from the fact that it's nice to see the pounds drop off, I've been trying to figure out what's different. Here's what's working for me. Care to share what's working for you to keep the binges away?
1) Mindful eating -- new rule: I can only eat at a table with the TV off and no book. Gets boring after awhile instead of realizing there are no more chips left in the bag.
2) Post on 3FC EVERY DAY. Either a post here or in my blog.......which I've had to password protect due to spam, but just writing down my thoughts have helped.
3) Dieting buddy. We're sharing our ups and downs. And we know we'll be seeing each other periodically so we can be supportive and wow our families.
4) Look at the mini-goal pictures here -- they are so inspirational to me as in my mind I'm still that young, thin girl instead of this old fat lady. But at least I can eventually look like a "mature" thin lady one day.
Maybe I'm playing mind games with myself, but it seems like I'm concentrating more on the what I'm doing and when I'm eating as opposed to giving in to an urge to eat something forbidden.
