Well, another three weeks have gone by and things are about the same. I didn't pare down my eating. In fact, my husband's birthday gave me a reason to drive the diet bus into the ditch and cruise around there for a while. So that ends another experiment. The results are in: I can't handle complete freedom of eating!
There's something to be said for the Overeaters Anonymous viewpoint. Compulsive eating is an addiction. I knew that, I just needed another round of convincing. I'm not sure the 12-step approach is the best, but that doesn't mean that I can't be careful of what I eat, staying away from those foods that generate whole-scale swerving, such as a half dozen frosted walnut-filled fudge brownies and a few pints of ice cream!
So I'm going to have to refrain from eating all those goodies once again and get back on track. Then I can continue to whittle away at the extra calories and pounds through less eating and more exercising. The exercising part is the more challenging, since I'm time constrained. But the calorie-whittling is also challenging, since it seems every time I try to eat less I end up being hungry and eating more! So I'm still deciding how I'm going to work this out. Maybe just doing the exercise part will work. I'm going to have to get creative about including more exercise in my day, though. We'll see what happens.
I'll record my progress here, as ever.
