Just a quick post about something amazing... I think these LSC (life style changes) are finally catching on and becoming a habit!!
I'm sure most of you know I have a MAJOR sweet tooth and pretty much have to have dessert everyday. Every time I would start a diet I would swear of sweets ya like that worked, then a few weeks down the line would binge like crazy on anything I could get my hands on be it a box of cookies or a tub of ice cream or both. So when starting this "new" healthy life I had to figure out a way to incorporate my sugar addiction, I decided I would just give in but on a way smaller scale. So yes I still have dessert but I keep it with in reason like 2-3 cookies instead of as box, a small brownie and not the pan a scoop of ice cream not the carton. I will admit it was hard at first and sometime still is but I am getting way better at it and sometimes it even come naturally.

Like you, I have also found a way to fit in my sweets and eat them in moderation. I would also binge if I tried to go a long time without any.
ReplyDeleteI tried the whole "absolutely no sweets" approach and failed quickly. I have a hard time having an entire package of cookies or tub of ice cream in my house, so I usually don't have that stuff around (not fair to my kids, I suppose, but the health benefits will pay off for them as well, I hope) but when I do want a treat, I go buy what I want (like ONE ice cream bar from the store) and thoroughly enjoy it without regret (and yes, I treat my kids, too, LOL). It's all about moderation, which is hard for me because I'm a binge eater forever and always. :/ Just have to find that perfect medium... :)
ReplyDeleteI love this. Congrats!
