Good to read!!
OMG, I really needed to read this post. Thank you for starting it Jimbo and for your words too Hogarth! I am looking forward to reading more reponses because I have to say, I'm one who is REALLY hard on herself. I feel guilty about everything I do. Before I discovered this WOE, I would feel so guilty for having a rice krispy square or some chocolate, heck, or ice cream, now when I have an extra helping of veggies I feel really guilty (or a 3-egg omelette instead of a 2-egg one). And sheesh, veggies are good for you, even if I have a few too many once and a while it's WAY better than the cheats I used to have. We don't have "bad" foods in the house anymore, so if I feel like having something bad I'll have a LC bar or chocolate and practically beat myself up over it for the rest of the day. I need to read and re-read your posts you guys. You make SO much sense, this is NOT a diet, this is my life and I'm not cheating, I'm just making choices, some days better than others and I have many, many more days ahead of me. I have to stop living like I'm waiting for the next cheat (even though it may not be anywhere near a cheat by normal diet standards). My husband says I'm so hard on myself and it makes him very sad to see me do that to myself.
Thanks again for this thread, keep the responses coming!!
