Guest guest Posted February 9, 2011 Report Share Posted February 9, 2011 Yes, , it does get easier with time as you give yourself permission to eat and repeatedly assure yourself that you really can eat whatever you want. The key for me is recognizing Diet Mentality whenever it rears its ugly head, because the minute I start thinking that I " should cut back on something I love " , then, of course, I can't think of anything else but that food, and I go overboard as if there's no tomorrow. However, when I enjoy a meal to the max, which still isn't 100% of the time, it truly satisfies me, I don't stuff myself, and I get on with life.

The problem right now is that I am NOT eating them in moderation. I still feel like I've been deprived for so long that I'm just digging right into these formerly forbidden foods at all times of the day. > > Will I eventually even out and be able to eat these foods in moderation? > > Thanks and glad to be here! > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
