If this doesn't work, I'll quit!

[Guest guest]

In " The Overfed Head " by Rob s, he addresses this reality.

p. 150 " Your secret intention to bail out eventually is your common sense

talking. You SHOULD quit when what you've undertaken isn't good for you in the

first place. Yet the lack of full and permanent commitment is what ultimately

dooms your weight loss attempts. You will not be able to maintain a stable and

healthy weight until you discover the resolutions that are truly right for you -

commitments that express what you desire, what you believe to be true and what

you are actually capable of doing. Treating yourself right is the only plan

your body and your psyche will stand for on a permanent basis. "

This is why diets in the guise of " lifestyle changes " are impossible to keep up

with forever. We want pleasure. We want to feel good. Eating when we are

hunger, what we want to eat, until we are no longer hungry, is what feels best.

Ta da!

Personally, I am sick and tired of punishing myself with food. I want to be

free! I want to only think of it when I am hungry. I don't want to feel

uncomfortable between meals. I want to have energy and a clear mind to focus on

living my life. Enough already!
