It's impossible.  I've tried.  *sigh*

they are all good.  No need to reprogram anything.  Just need to shift your focus.

Instead of thinking of it as reprogramming yourself, think of it as making a commitment to yourself, like the way you commit to a relationship. It's a relationship you are developing with your body.

Also, everyone is going to have a bad week, or month, now and then where you get stressed out, or are flat broke, and have to eat whatever is available and/or easy. That's just going to happen. No one is perfect.

I'm in the process of moving, so I don't even have a kitchen right now. I've had to eat out a lot, which is not so great, but that's life for the next week or two.

I only need to diet when I'm cutting weight.    It's great! 


Though I've been on a restricted diet for the last week and a half.  that's been miserable. 

tuna, chicken, rice, peanut butter, broccoli. 

I want some damn cheese!

I would die if my cheese was taken from me!

I'll try again next week. 

I should be able to eat cheese again soon.  When I can.  I'm making a big plate of nachos and have 5 pizzas with extra cheese.

I actually had bacon the other day because it had less calories than sausages.

I eat all of this stuff when dieting, today i've had a full roast, chocolate cake, a muffin desert, as long as i dont go over about 1500 calories a day i should be fine.

In fact i keep thinking i should eat something else because i've done so much exercise today i think maybe i haven't eaten enough.

Lost 6 pounds in less than three weeks

I wasn't hungry before i read this thread, but now i am

It's also helpful if you make it a consistent habit to shop for groceries. If there's plenty of food in your house, and your kitchen is set up for cooking and kept clean-ish, you're going to be a lot more likely to cook healthier foods at home.

Moving to CO in June and the fam is redoing the entire kitchen so that we will finally have an awesome place to cook in.We plan on trying all sorts of new stuff.We also will have space for our own garden We all love to cook and I'm thinking my diet will improve after the move.

Having a kitchen you actually ENJOY using makes a huge difference.

I have a goal of eating around 80% raw foods by the end of this year. In order to encourage myself to be consistent with it, I want to upgrade a few of my appliances over the next couple months to make eating that way easier. Like getting a larger juicer, and a nicer food dehydrator.

The kitchen makes all the difference.
