Diet daze


Everyone seems to be on a diet these days. People at my credit union are either binging or purging and it always seems to be split right down the middle. Half are stuffing their faces and buying brownines and chips for everyone while the other half are eating hemp hearts and checking how many carbs food has before they eat it. I've managed to find a happy medium in all this chaos. It's called the "Eat whatever you want and don't feel guilty about it but you HAVE to stop eating once you are satisfied." So far it's been working very well for me. I don't know what happened exactly. One day a voice in my head suddenly said "You are full so stop eating!" and I listened to it. The trick is to stop eating after you are SATISFIED and before you are FULL. I started this diet weighing 176.4 pounds (YIKES, I know!) and this morning I weighed 168.8 a total loss of 7.6 pounds. I'm ok with that! This is the most sensible and low-maintenance diet I've ever been on. There's no points, weighing, measuring, recipies, just me and that little voice. I'm sure exercise would only speed up the process but I'm going to lay off of that for a bit because I've been so exhausted from work lately. I can already see a difference. My stomach is flat(ter), my bumb is the right size and I feel great! I'll keep you posted on my progress. Wish me luck!
