I just can't help it! I think the key is to not mindlessly eat because then it's not even worth it. Planning ahead is also quite nice, because actually enjoying a "guilty treat" that you've been looking forward to... well, that's just staying sane.

All set for some kicking! :) It's so horribly negative and unproductive! I feel fat so I eat, then I feel guilty and I eat some more, it's just a vicious circle! I'm trying to be more relaxed about my food, but I have major issues with having just one treat. It's like it opens flood-gates and I feel like I have to eat as much junk as possible before I regain control and it's back to limited quantities again!! :) Yes!!

It is like being an alcoholic or drug addict. You always have to keep exercising and watching what you eat or you will blimp up. Those folks who go on a diet and lose 50 lbs. and then stop and forget about it are in dreamland. That is why they all gain it back. There is no end to being fit. You either keep working at staying in shape or else you will be a blimp. The key to dieting is to realize that you are always going to be on a diet. It is like being an alcoholic or drug addict.

I attended a workshop a few years ago, based in Buddhist philosophy and the instructor said Worry is thought about the future Guilt is thought about the past. This made perfect sense to me. So if we feel guilty eating food it makes me wonder, what story are we recalling, perhaps subconsciously, from our past? To find that answer could quite possibly relieve the guilt (the past) and simply allow us to be with what is. Guilt and worry – the cause of so much angst.

The branding of certain fruits and vegetables as *bad* seemd silly to me, too. So, I gave that up, too. All fruits and veggies are labeled *good* in my head. The whole guilt thing is tied up heavily in ideals of perfection, too. I gave that up, too. I feel so much saner, so much happier and the weight has stayed off.
