I haven't had a sugar-filled sweet since when I last talked about it on the 12th. I haven't lost weight, but I haven't had sweets. I have eaten homemade peanut butter cookies made with Splenda and skinny chocolate made with stevia. I will weigh in tomorrow and we'll see what the scale says.
I was thinking, really reflecting this morning on my diet journey. I went back in my mind through my diet adventures and mishaps. I have pinned down the problem. When I stopped believing dieting would work, it didn't work. I think it might be as simple as that.
I used to go on periodic diets to maintain a weight that was suitable. I would take breaks and that was that. I'm not sure I gave it any negative connotation until someone told me I ought to. Until someone told me I needed to break free from the diet cycle, I wasn't sure I needed to.
I really don't feel like telling the long and convoluted story right now, but at some point I might. Suffice it to say that the mind is powerful and I believe weight loss happens there first.
