Taking A Day Off

“A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit”

Today is the first day on my diet when I’m not going to write down everything I eat. I’m not quitting that habit but I’ll give it a break for the day. I’ll be going out with a friend and I think it’s best for the both of us if I give myself a break. Besides, I’m worried about my low calorie intake so perhaps a change to that will be exactly what I need.

I’ll be back on track with everything tomorrow.

“Good habits, once established are just as hard to break as are bad habits”

Doomed?

“But I am avoiding the all-or-nothing attitude. Diets are doomed to fail from the Monday we finally start them (again). If we truly want to change who we are and what we look like when it comes to weight, we have to change how we deal with food in our lives.”

I was browsing through the blogosphere again the other day and found a really cleverly written article by Jody Genessy.

Thanks to Run the cat for pointing me to that inspiring piece of writing!

First Four Hours

“Probably nothing in the world arouses more false hopes than the first four hours of a diet”
