Hi,
I'm sitting here with major heartburn and am totally disgusted with myself...I am starting "again" on 1/1/03-and since I've made that decision, I've been eating practically non-stop..and I can't seem to stop. I'm afraid to check the scale-I've probably gained back every pound I managed to lose, and will end up starting the new year heavier than when I was on program from 11/1 til the second week of December. I had lost eleven pounds, but I'm sure most of it was gained back by now.
How do you put the brakes on the holiday eating overload? I'm trying to clear our house of any leftover junk food-gave away some brownies and baking stuff yesterday. I ate a healthy breakfast (toast and low fat cottage cheese) and lunch (veggie burger) but in between I've eaten total crap.
It seems once I know I'm starting over, I try to fit in all this food I won't be "allowed" to eat. I have no concept of portion control when it comes to sweets. I don't understand how people can eat "just a little bit" and stop. I can't do it. I'll have to go cold turkey.
Any advice would be appreciated. I don't want to start 2003 heavier than I started 2002!
Thanks,
Sherry
