Re: Hi all, My first time here

[Guest guest]

I have has the same problem with the holidays. I allowed myself

some treats and now I am craving them. I am going to go on a

protein fast for a week and get back into my healthy eating style.

I am curious what other people do when this happens.

Thanks!

Hi Christy, my response is going to be a little different from

the " go back to all protein to kick the carbs habit " reply. The

holidays were a little tough for me too and I gained 4 pounds, 3 of

which I have already taken off. I'm a believer in moderation, to

include having something " bad " , or what I call my treats every day.

I have learned that if I set a reasonable weight as my goal weight

(size 10 instead of the size 6's), eat sensible small meals heavy on

protein, and keep up the regular exercise, I can have my daily sweet

treats and still maintain the weight. Not everyone can do this, and

for some, having a cookie or a slice of cake triggers eating the

whole box of cookies or the entire cake. But for some, like me, I

can be satisfied with a small slice of cake, whereas to deny myself

the cake is more stressful and plays on my mind, to include dealing

with the guilt when I have it anyways... Perhaps you can do the

same. I do have a plan however, as everyone should, for when I go

above my window, as I did this holiday season. I cut back on the

snacks/treats (not eliminate), cut a bite or two out of my meals, add

an extra work out session a week (from 3 to 4) and up the water.

That usually does it. For me, its a matter of control and

moderation. Not denial or being too strict. Hope this helps.
