Hello Diane and all--

Here's the frustrating part--I know what is good for me. I know even at the

very moment I'm putting it in my mouth that this is not what I want to do.

And I do it. What is that all about, anyway?

Something said made me think of it a little differently. We should see

our choices for good behaviors as self-indulgent, not self-sacrificing.

I have so many cute, smaller-size clothes in my closet and it is KILLING me.

I think thats where many of us are at. Losing weight isnt about learning

good nutrition, its about the mind.

I still go and get food I know is not what I should be eating. The trick is

to do it less, and try to make better choices when you are there. Small

changes tend to work better than huge sweeping changes.

When you continue doing a behavor that is keeping you from reaching your goals

and you do it over and over and you know this. You are getting some kind of

payoff from the negative things you continue to do. If you were not getting

something out of it you would not continue to do it. You need to pay really

close attention to what you are feeling when you are eating something for the

wrong reasons.
